Evelyn Bayes created KAFKA-8534: ----------------------------------- Summary: retention.bytes does not work as documented Key: KAFKA-8534 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8534 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: log cleaner Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 2.1.1, 2.0.1, 1.1.1, 1.0.2, 0.11.0.3 Reporter: Evelyn Bayes
A log segment isn't deleted when a partition reaches retention.bytes. Instead a log segment is deleted when a partition reaches retention.bytes + segment.bytes This conflicts with the defenition of retention.bytes: *_This configuration controls the maximum size a partition (which consists of log segments) can grow to before we will discard old log segments to free up space if we are using the "delete" retention policy. By default there is no size limit only a time limit. Since this limit is enforced at the partition level, multiply it by the number of partitions to compute the topic retention in bytes._* -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
