Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-184: --------------------------------- Thanks! I am going to hold off on this. As you mention, changing the name of the properties is kind of undesirable as people would likely not notice and silently set the wrong thing. Fixing KAFKA-181 would make this less painful. In particular it would be nice to have aliases so we can fix config names but still conveniently allow the old name. Will add a comment to that ticket. > Log retention size and file size should be a long > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-184 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-184 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: KAFKA-184-0.8.patch > > > Realized this in a local set up: the log.retention.size config option should > be a long, or we're limited to 2GB. Also, the name can be improved to > log.retention.size.bytes or Mbytes as appropriate. Same comments for > log.file.size. If we rename the configs, it would be better to resolve > KAFKA-181 first. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
