Essentially, There's a configuration property: log.retention.hours
This determines the minimum time a message will remain available on the broker. The default is 7 days. The kafka broker doesn't keep track of whether the message has been consumed or not (or how many times it has been consumed). It's up to individual consumers to keep track of which message offset they've consumed (which typically gets saved in zookeeper).
