Hello, We have a Kafka 0.11.xx version setup. So the system topic which is __consumer_offset, we are looking at many such topics like __consumer_offset-1,2,4..... So one topic in particular,is now having log segments which is contributing to 5GB of data. I had a look at our server.properties file but couldnot find a property called offsets.retention.minutes (found via Google). So we are assuming Kafka will take the default value for such properties. So based on the default value of offset.retention.minutes property which is I guess 24 hours,but still we can see log segments older than few month. So my question is ,is it safe to have that consumer_offset-7 topic (having 5GB of log segments) deleted.Would it affect kafka anyway that would b a problem in production environment. If deleting the topics is not a safe implementation,can you suggest a different fix for this?
Thanks and Regards, Kaushik Nambiar
