[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-1990) Add unlimited time-based log retention

Jay Kreps created KAFKA-1990:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Add unlimited time-based log retention
                 Key: KAFKA-1990
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1990
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jay Kreps


Currently you can set
  log.retention.bytes = -1
to disable size based retention (in fact that is the default). However, there is no equivalent for time based retention. You can set time based retention to something really big like 2147483647 hours, which in practical terms is forever, but it is kind of silly to require this.
