Hi
the only retention time that applies for compacted topics is the
delete.retention.ms
The duration that tombstones for deletes will be kept in the topic
during compaction.
A very detail explaination on what is going on can be found here:
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#compaction
Hope this helps
Best Jan

This is a pretty stupid question. Mostly likely I should verify these by
observation, but really I want to verify that my understanding of the
documentation is correct:
Suppose I have topic configurations like:
retention.ms=$time
cleanup.policy=compact
My questions are:
1. After $time, any offsets older than $time will be eligible for
compaction?
2. Regardless of $time, any offsets in the current segment will not be
compacted?
Thank you,
Dmitry
