log retention and a single log file

[Liam Stewart <li...@gmail.com>]

What will Kafka do if a topic has a single log segment smaller than the
retention size but is eligible for deletion based on retention time? I
think that it will be kept because without it the remaining (zero) segments
will be below the log retention size - is that correct?

The log garbage collection will be triggered by either the size or the time
based retention policy, which ever comes first. So, assuming the last
segment hasn't been updated in retention time, it will be deleted and an
empty segment will be rolled.

Thanks,

Jun

And the next question is, what happens when only the time based policy is
enabled?
