Delete message after consuming it

[anand jain <an...@gmail.com>]

I want to delete the message from a Kafka broker after consuming it(Java
consumer). How can I do that?

Kafka is a log and not a queue. The client is remembering a position in the
log rather than working with individual messages.

Hi,

Kafka supports two types of log/messages retention policies.

Log retention(size/time): The messages will be discarded after
log.retention.minutes or  when the log size reaches log.retention.bytes

Log compaction: which ensures that Kafka will always retain at least the
last known value for each message key within the log of data for a single
topic partition.
