[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-8270) Kafka retention hour is not working

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8270?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jiangtao Liu updated KAFKA-8270:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Kafka l cannot be deleted after the configured retention hours (12 hours for log retention). 

What's our Kafka cluster look like?

There are 6 brokers deployed with Kafka version 1.1.1.

 

Is it reproducible?
 I am not sure since our Kafka cluster is working well over 1.5 years without retention issue until 4/13/2019 ~ 4/20/2019.  

 

is it related to the active segment?
 as I know Kafka will not delete an active segment, my case those old logs are not activated, they should be inactivated. 

 

What's the current status?

Those old logs have been deleted after I manually ran rolling restart Kafka servers with retention hours adjustment (Ideally I tried this solution aimed to{color:#333333} force retention hours work, not really want to adjust the retention hours, finally the solution it's working, but not immediately, I remember the retention start work after couples of hours after applying the change and rolling restart Kafka servers{color}.), now our Kafka storage is back to normal, please check the screenshot attached with this ticket.

A sample old log added here for better understanding of the retention hours not working issue.
