------------------------------------
Summary: Kafka should have an emergency retention setting for max
disk used
Key: KAFKA-6235
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6235
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Antony Stubbs
Kafka should have an emergency retention setting for max disk used to prevent
the broker running out of disk and partitions going off line. When this max is
reached, Kafka could perhaps delete segments from the largest topics.. Would
have to be used with care as current behaviour is to preserve data at the cost
of availability. This would favour availability over data retention.
At the moment it's quite hard to reason about disk usage and Kafka as the max
byte settings are all per partition, and the math can get complicated when you
have lots of topics of different use cases and sizes..
