HI Jun,
Thanks for your comments. We put our inline replies below.

1001. I was thinking that you could just use the tiered metadata to do the
reconciliation. The tiered metadata contains offset ranges and epoch
history. Those should be enough for reconciliation purposes.

If we use remote storage as the source-of-truth during
unclean-leader-election, it's possible that after reconciliation the
remote storage will have more recent data than the new leader's local
storage. For example, the new leader's latest message is offset 1000,
while the remote storage has message 1100. In such a case, the new
leader will have to download the messages from 1001 to 1100, before
accepting new messages from producers. Otherwise, there would be a gap
in the local data between 1000 and 1101.

Moreover, with the current design, leader epoch history is stored in
remote storage, rather than the metadata topic. We did consider saving
epoch history in remote segment metadata. But the concern is that
there is currently no limit for the epoch history size. Theoretically,
if a user has a very long remote retention time and there are very
frequent leadership changes, the leader epoch history can become too
long to fit into a regular Kafka message.


1003.3 Having just a serverEndpoint string is probably not enough.
Connecting to a Kafka cluster may need various security credentials. We can
make RLMM configurable and pass in the properties through the configure()
method. Ditto for RSM.

RLMM and  RSM are already configurable and they take properties which
start with "remote.log.metadata." and "remote.log.storage."
respectively and a few others. We have listener-name as the config for
RLMM and other properties(like security) can be sent as you suggested.
We will update the KIP with the details.


1008.1 We started with log.retention.hours and log.retention.minutes, and
added log.retention.ms later. If we are adding a new configuration, ms
level config alone is enough and is simpler. We can build tools to make the
configuration at different granularities easier. The definition of
log.retention.ms is "The number of milliseconds to keep a log file before
deleting it". The deletion is independent of whether tiering is enabled or
not. If this changes to just the local portion of the data, we are changing
the meaning of an existing configuration.

We are fine with either way. We can go with log.retention.xxxx as the
effective log retention instead of local log retention. With this
convention, we need to introduce  local.log.retention instead of
remote.log.retention.ms that we proposed. If log.retention.ms as -1
then remote retention is also considered as unlimited but user should
be able to set the local.retention.ms.
So, we need to introduce local.log.retention.ms and
local.log.retention.bytes which should  always  be <=
log.retention.ms/bytes respectively.
