Eno Thereska created KAFKA-5533: ----------------------------------- Summary: Timestamp-based log compaction Key: KAFKA-5533 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5533 Project: Kafka Issue Type: New Feature Components: core Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0 Reporter: Eno Thereska Fix For: 0.11.0.1
Today log compaction is based on offsets, not timestamps. That means that a late arriving record with a small timestamp TS can over-write a record with a larger timestamp TL. This affects computations that depend on correct processing of timestamps. For example, in the streams library, this would mean that processing for KTables with late arriving data would not be correct. This JIRA will require a KIP. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
