> _Compaction enables Kafka to remove old messages that are flagged for
> deletion while other messages can be retained for a relatively longer time.
> Today, a log segment may remain un-compacted for a long time since the
> eligibility for log compaction is determined based on compaction ratio
> (“min.cleanable.dirty.ratio”) and min compaction lag
> ("min.compaction.lag.ms") setting. Ability to delete a log message through
> compaction in a timely manner has become an important requirement in some use
> cases (e.g., GDPR). For example, one use case is to delete PII (Personal
> Identifiable information) data within 7 days while keeping non-PII
> indefinitely in compacted format. The goal of this change is to provide a
> time-based compaction policy that ensures the cleanable section is compacted
> after the specified time interval regardless of dirty ratio and “min
> compaction lag”. However, dirty ratio and “min compaction lag” are still
> honored if the time based compaction rule is not violated. In other words, if
> Kafka receives a deletion request on a key (e..g, a key with null value), the
> corresponding log segment will be picked up for compaction after the
> configured time interval to remove the key._
