Topic retension.ms

Hello,

One question. The maximum retention.ms per topic is a long which is 2^63-1
=> 9.223372e+18 => 292471207 years. So essentially can we use this for
infinite retention or in other words "never delete" ?

I would say "definitely" :) I fact I have seen people setting it to a
couple of years.
