--------------------------------------
Assignee: Umesh Chaudhary
> Better document what LogAppendTime means
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5718
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5718
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
> Reporter: Dustin Cote
> Assignee: Umesh Chaudhary
> Priority: Trivial
>
> There isn't a good description of LogAppendTime in the documentation. It
> would be nice to add this in somewhere to say something like:
> LogAppendTime is some time between when the partition leader receives the
> request and before it writes it to it's local log.
> There are two important distinctions that trip people up:
> 1) This timestamp is not when the consumer could have first consumed the
> message. This instead requires min.insync.replicas to have been satisfied.
> 2) This is not precisely when the leader wrote to it's log, there can be
> delays along the path between receiving the request and writing to the log.
