Thanks for the clarification. I am just curious about how this works out. If we can change the retention size with "kafka-topics.sh --alter", will the new retention size be updated to the servers.properties? If there is any documentation, that will be great. Another question is whether you have any release plan for 0.8.1. Thanks.

Even though # partition is a config property of a topic, it has to be done through the add partition admin command. Other topic level config changes can be made through "kafka-topics.sh --alter" in 0.8.1 (trunk).
