Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-4907: ------------------------------------ I think Jun is suggesting that defaulting to `retention.ms` only makes sense if retention by time is enabled. For compacted topics without `cleanup.policy` of `delete`, retention is basically disabled. So, in that case, the default should be infinite as it was before. Not sure what is the best way to achieve this though. > compacted topic shouldn't reject messages with old timestamp > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-4907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4907 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.10.1.0 > Reporter: Jun Rao > > In LogValidator.validateTimestamp(), we check the validity of the timestamp > in the message without checking whether the topic is compacted or not. This > can cause messages to a compacted topic to be rejected when it shouldn't. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
