There's no way to "trigger compaction" per se, but you can use multiple configs to compel it. I've documented it in this ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7137
Essentially you can set min.cleanable.dirty.ratio=0 and segment.ms to make sure a new segment is rolled (compaction won't happen on the active segment and if you care about that segment.ms lets you compel a new one) And then it needs a message to come in to trigger the segment roll and the compaction evaulation.
