I can't find any, but does anyone know of any bugs in 0.8.1.1 that would cause new brokers added to an existing cluster to ignore the per-topic configuration for retention?
I had a 8 node cluster with a topic with per topic retention set like: Configs:retention.ms=5400000. I attempted to add 2 more brokers to the cluster today and transfer 3 of the existing partitions over to the new nodes. In general, the existing nodes stay around 60% disk usage but the new brokers start at around 60% and then fall over the course of about two hours down to 0%. It is unclear to me why the new brokers are ignoring the log retention time and seemingly keeping the logs indefinitely. Both the existing brokers and the new ones have the same server.properties file which the default log.retention.hours=24. To add the new brokers I ran the reassign-partition tool and just moved 3 partitions from some other nodes to the new nodes, the reassignment seemed to complete successfully, there are 30 partitions and 10 brokers so each broker has 3 partitions.
