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

             Summary: Some partition's segments are suddenly not deleted anymore
                 Key: KAFKA-16782
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16782
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Roland Sommer


I recently discovered an odd behaviour in one of our kafka clusters 
(KRaft-based, v3.7.0):

We have a topic for distributed log collection with 48 partitions. Retention is 
set to 84 hours, we have the default {{cleanup.policy=delete}} in place. For 
all but two partitions this works as expected. In two partition directories 
there are files going back to january and consuming the specific partitions 
yields data from january (showing it's not only the files lying around, they 
are actually processed).

Topic settings as per {{kafka-topics.sh --describe}}:

{{Topic: syslog TopicId: AeJLnYPnQFOtMc0ZjpH7sw PartitionCount: 48 
ReplicationFactor: 2 Configs: 
compression.type=snappy,cleanup.policy=delete,segment.bytes=1073741824,retention.ms=302400000,max.message.bytes=2097152}}

Searching the cluster logs, there is no indicator of what could be the reason 
here (at least I did not spot anything suspicious up until now). Up to the time 
were deletion stopped, there are log entries showing the deleteion of old log 
segments, but that simply stopped. As far as I can see, there has not been any 
change on the cluster at that point.
