             Summary: Heuristic for increasing the log start offset after 
replicas are caught up
                 Key: KAFKA-14932
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14932
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: José Armando García Sancio
            Assignee: José Armando García Sancio


The implementation in [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9816] increases the 
log start offset as soon as a snapshot is created that is greater than the log 
start offset. This is correct but causes some inefficiency in some cases.
 # Any follower, voters or observers, with an end offset between the leader's 
log start offset and the leader's latest snapshot will get invalidated. This 
will cause those follower to fetch the new snapshot and reload it's state 
machine.
 # Any {{Listener}} or state machine that has a {{nextExpectedOffset()}} less 
than the latest snapshot will get invalidated. This will cause the state 
machine to have to reload its state from the latest snapshot.

To minimize the frequency of these reloads KIP-630 proposes adding the 
following configuration:
 * {{metadata.start.offset.lag.time.max.ms}} - The maximum amount of time that 
leader will wait for an offset to get replicated to all of the live replicas 
before advancing the {{{}LogStartOffset{}}}. See section “When to Increase the 
LogStartOffset”. The default is 7 days.

This description and implementation should be extended to also apply to the 
state machine, or {{{}Listener{}}}. The local log start offset should be 
increased when all of the {{{}ListenerContext{}}}'s {{nextExpectedOffset()}} is 
greater than the offset of the latest snapshot.
