Hi Kafka-users, We've set up a KAFKA(0.10.0.0) topic to feed to elasticsearch so that we can view the stuff on Kibana dashboard but the problem I'm running into is that topic apparently gets flooded with loads and loads of data and we've got limited Disk space on the server to utilize. So in order to optimize the issue we thoughts of reducing the default retention period for the topic from 7 days ( default ) to say only 10 mins the reason for this is once we've data feed to elasticsearch we're good. But now we ran into the issue with elasticsearch not being able to log messages and inspecting server.log shows many such below lines.

(kafka.log.Log) Can anyone suggest what could be the better solution for this to continue feed the stream of messages to elastic search without running into disk space issue with kafka topic :(.
