-----------------------------------

             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._*
