[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-18929) Log a warning when a time retention based segment has a future timestamp

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18929?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daniel Urban updated KAFKA-18929:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Time based retention can be blocked when a producer sends a future timestamp in a record. This can cause log dirs to run out of free space.

This seems to be a frequent issue which can be mitigated by using the configurations added in [KIP-937|[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-937%3A+Improve+Message+Timestamp+Validation]] but that is a somewhat drastic measure and also requires users to explicitly configure the timestamp limits.

 

Adding a warning log when the log cleaning encounters a future timestamp can improve catching this issue earlier.
