Hi Dave, log.retention.bytes is per partition. If you change it after the topic was created, you'll see the behavior you expect -- namely that the new value is used when the log is cleaned. The frequency that the log is cleaned is controlled by log.retention.check.interval.ms, with a default value of 5 minutes.
Hope this helps!
