The reason I developed this fix - which I have applied to all our kafka clusters in ZK mode, and has been running for many months is that it allows to plug in a simple AlterConfigPolicy that disallows clearing a topic's `cleanup.policy`. If a topic has an empty `cleanup.policy`, Kafka will allow it to grow forever. This in my opinion is an extremely important AlterConfigPolicy that the admin of a Kafka cluster should implement. I don't think keeping backward compatibility in such a narrow field should prevail over correctness of behavior. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
