Kafka Log Compaction not starting

Tags:

apache-kafka

I have a topic with the following description:

Topic:test-topic    PartitionCount:1    ReplicationFactor:1 Configs:min.cleanable.dirty.ratio=0.01,min.compaction.lag.ms=86400000,cleanup.policy=compact
    Topic: test-topic   Partition: 0    Leader: 1   Replicas: 1 Isr: 1

My broker has log.cleaner.enable=true

This topic has 870778 messages within which lots of duplicate keys exist (some reaching thousands of duplicates). According to Kafka docs, Kafka should be deploying log compaction under these conditions and pruning all but the newest message with a given key. This is not happening after several weeks, if not months. What am I missing here to jump-start log compaction?

############################# Log Flush Policy #############################

# Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync
# the OS cache lazily. The following configurations control the flush of data to disk. 
# There are a few important trade-offs here:
#    1. Durability: Unflushed data may be lost if you are not using replication.
#    2. Latency: Very large flush intervals may lead to latency spikes when the flush does occur as there will be a lot of data to flush.
#    3. Throughput: The flush is generally the most expensive operation, and a small flush interval may lead to exceessive seeks. 
# The settings below allow one to configure the flush policy to flush data after a period of time or
# every N messages (or both). This can be done globally and overridden on a per-topic basis.

# segments don't drop below log.retention.bytes.

# The maximum size of a log segment file. When this size is reached a new log segment will be created.
log.segment.bytes=536870912

# The interval at which log segments are checked to see if they can be deleted according 
# to the retention policies

# By default the log cleaner is disabled and the log retention policy will default to just delete segments after their retention expires.
# If log.cleaner.enable=true is set the cleaner will be enabled and individual logs can then be marked for log compaction.

To have compaction running you need to have at least 2 segment files (one finished and one running).

according to your configuration

log.segment.bytes=1073741824
log.segment.bytes=536870912

(please check why you have two identical properties).

You need to have one file 512Mb full so kafka can run compaction on it. Please check that you have at least 2 segment files for topic-partition you want to be compacted
