+1 on both the KIP and Jason's suggestion of adding the consumer config. Thanks. --Vahid
From: Jason Gustafson <ja...@confluent.io> To: dev@kafka.apache.org Date: 08/09/2017 09:40 AM Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-186: Increase offsets retention default to 7 days +1 on the bump to 7 days. Wanted to mention one minor point. The OffsetCommit RPC still provides the ability to set the retention time from the client, but we do not use it in the consumer. Should we consider adding a consumer config to set this? Given the problems people had with the old default, such a config would probably have gotten a fair bit of use. Maybe it's less necessary with the new default, but there may be situations where you don't want to keep the offsets for too long. For example, the console consumer commits offsets with a generated group id. We might want to set a low retention time to keep it from filling the offset cache with garbage from such groups. -Jason On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 5:24 AM, Sönke Liebau < soenke.lie...@opencore.com.invalid> wrote: > Just had this create issues at a customer as well, +1 > > On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 11:46 AM, Mickael Maison <mickael.mai...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Yes the current default is too short, +1 > > > > On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 8:56 AM, Ismael Juma <ism...@juma.me.uk> wrote: > > > Thanks for the KIP, +1 from me. > > > > > > Ismael > > > > > > On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 1:24 AM, Ewen Cheslack-Postava < > e...@confluent.io > > > > > > wrote: > > > > > >> Hi all, > > >> > > >> I posted a simple new KIP for a problem we see with a lot of users: > > >> KIP-186: Increase offsets retention default to 7 days > > >> > > >> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP- > > >> 186%3A+Increase+offsets+retention+default+to+7+days > > >> > > >> Note that in addition to the KIP text itself, the linked JIRA already > > >> existed and has a bunch of discussion on the subject. > > >> > > >> -Ewen > > >> > > > > > > -- > Sönke Liebau > Partner > Tel. +49 179 7940878 > OpenCore GmbH & Co.
