When will the Kafka log be deleted in this case?

This is a bit confusing. But reading the configs and logs, I'm not able to understand why the log was deleted at such time point.

topic 1_persistent was created on 3rd Oct.

A new log segment was rolled once the log size reached above 1 GB on 5th Oct: [2015-10-05 11:55:08,329] INFO Rolled new log segment for '1_persistent-0' in 31 ms. (kafka.log.Log)

However, log shows that the first log segment for 1_persistent got deleted after 4 days (7th Oct).

Can anyone help me understand why? Thank you.

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


# Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync

# 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.


# The number of messages to accept before forcing a flush of data to disk
#log.flush.interval.messages=10000


# The maximum amount of time a message can sit in a log before we force a flush
#log.flush.interval.ms=1000


############################# Log Retention Policy #############################


# The following configurations control the disposal of log segments. The policy can
# be set to delete segments after a period of time, or after a given size has accumulated.

# from the end of the log.

# A size-based retention policy for logs. Segments are pruned from the log as long as the remaining
# 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.

In log, it is clear (retention.bytes -> 1073741824) that below parameter is applied.

log.retention.bytes=1073741824

Do you have any parameter log.retention.bytes.per.topic & log.retention.hours.per.topic set . In which case this takes precedence.

No, there is no per-topic configuration

There are some parameters to manage the log cleaner:

- log.retention.check.interval.ms --> Interval to check log segments according the policies configured.

- log.retention.bytes --> To define the size of the topic

- log.retention.hours --> To define the time to store a message in a topic.
