Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1634:
--------------------------------------
How general is that use case and if it just a means for picking infinite
retention, then why not just have a boolean option rather than a full
timestamp? My main concern is that this is looking more like an after thought
instead of a well thought out API. We should think how the user would interpret
the timestamp and what makes sense as a general solution.

> From the mailing list -
> following up on this -- I think the online API docs for OffsetCommitRequest
> still incorrectly refer to client-side timestamps:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol#AGuideToTheKafkaProtocol-OffsetCommitRequest
> Wasn't that removed and now always handled server-side now? Would one of
> the devs mind updating the API spec wiki?
