------------------------------
Summary: Documentation for retention.ms is confusing
Key: KAFKA-2751
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2751
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
Reporter: Craig W
Priority: Minor
The documentation for the "retention.ms" setting is a little confusing. When
looking at the documentation the property is in the first column, while the
default server property is in the 3rd column which is named
"log.retention.minutes". The description for the property doesn't describe the
expected value, so it leads one to believe maybe "retention.ms" is meant to be
minutes.
I'd like to see the description for the property explicitly mention that the
value at the topic level is milliseconds, where as it's minutes for the server
level.
