Justin updated KAFKA-4504:
--------------------------
    Description: 
Problem:

Details of retention.bytes property at Topic level are not clear on how they 
impact partition size

Business Impact:

Users are setting retention.bytes and not seeing the desired store amount of 
data.

Current Text:

This configuration controls the maximum size a log can grow to before we will 
discard old log segments to free up space if we are using the "delete" 
retention policy. By default there is no size limit only a time limit.

Proposed change:

This configuration controls the maximum size a log can grow to before we will 
discard old log segments to free up space if we are using the "delete" 
retention policy. By default there is no size limit only a time limit.  Please 
note, this is calculated as retention.bytes * number of partitions on the given 
topic for the total  amount of disk space to be used.
