Manikumar resolved KAFKA-3087. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed This doc issue was fixed in newer Kafka versions. > Fix documentation for retention.ms property and update documentation for > LogConfig.scala class > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3087 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3087 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: log > Reporter: Raju Bairishetti > Assignee: Jay Kreps > Priority: Critical > Labels: documentation > > Log retention settings can be set it in broker and some properties can be > overriden at topic level. > |Property |Default|Server Default property| Description| > |retention.ms|7 days|log.retention.minutes|This configuration controls the > maximum time we will retain a log before we will discard old log segments to > free up space if we are using the "delete" retention policy. This represents > an SLA on how soon consumers must read their data.| > But retention.ms is in milli seconds not in minutes. So corresponding *Server > Default property* should be *log.retention.ms* instead of > *log.retention.minutes*. > It would be better if we mention the if the time age is in > millis/minutes/hours in the documentation page and documenting in code as > well (Right now, it is saying *age in the code*. We should specify the *age > in time granularity). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
