You can use the kafka-topics.sh script to check the replica count for all your 
topics. Upgrading would not have affected the replica count, though.

You can use  kafka-topics.sh —-zookeeper host:2181 --describe 
--topics-with-overrides
to list any topics with non-default retention, but I’m guessing that’s not it.

If your disk usage went from 40 to 80% on all brokers — effectively doubled — 
it could be that your kafka data log directory path(s) changed during the 
upgrade. As you upgraded each broker and (re)started the kafka, it would have 
left the existing data under the old one path and created new topic partition 
directories and logs under the new path as it rejoined the cluster. Have you 
verified that your data log directory locations are the same as they used to be?
