Andy Pook commented on KAFKA-7061:
----------------------------------
Hey, could I ask for someone to comment on the status of this?
This feature would perfectly fit with our requirement.
The 2.1 release plan does not seem to mention the KIP although this ticket is
listed (but unassigned).
Any background to the progress of this feature would be appreciated so that we
can plan for the extra engineering required if this feature is not included.
Thank you
> Enhanced log compaction
> -----------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-7061
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7061
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Luis Cabral
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> Enhance log compaction to support more than just offset comparison, so the
> insertion order isn't dictating which records to keep.
> Default behavior is kept as it was, with the enhanced approached having to be
> purposely activated.
> The enhanced compaction is done either via the record timestamp, by settings
> the new configuration as "timestamp" or via the record headers by setting
> this configuration to anything other than the default "offset" or the
> reserved "timestamp".
> See
> [KIP-280|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-280%3A+Enhanced+log+compaction]
> for more details.
