B is definitely wrong, compaction doesn’t compress messages.

Wait, does that mean older messages can just disappear?

I practiced a similar question, and I think the key point is that compaction retains the latest message per key, so D seems correct.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between compaction and regular cleanup. Does compaction really de-duplicate messages?

I think option D sounds right because it mentions retaining the latest value, which is what we discussed in class.

I remember that log compaction keeps only the latest value for each key, but I'm not sure if it changes the offsets.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know log compaction is used to reduce storage, but I'm not sure about the details of how it works. I'll have to review my notes on Kafka to make sure I understand this properly before answering.

Okay, let me see. I remember that log compaction is about reducing storage by removing duplicate messages. I think the key thing is that it keeps the latest value for each key, not the first. So I'm going to go with option D.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know log compaction has something to do with retaining only the latest value for each key, but I can't remember if it's the first or latest value that gets kept. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty confident about this one. I think the answer is D - after cleanup, only one message per key is retained with the latest value.

Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to trick us with these options. Kafka is all about distributed logging, so 'compaction' must be some sort of magic that makes it all work, right?

This is a tricky one. I know compaction changes the offsets, so I'm not sure if option A or D is the right choice. I'll have to think about this one more.

I'm a bit confused. Isn't log compaction supposed to compress the messages as well? Option B seems like it could be the answer.

Hmm, I was thinking option C was the right answer. Doesn't Kafka de-duplicate messages based on the key hash during log compaction?

I'm not sure about this. I think the answer might be A) After cleanup, only one message per key is retained with the first value. It could be more efficient to keep the initial value for each key.

I agree with Lewis. It's important to retain the latest value for each key after compaction to ensure the most up-to-date information is available in the topic.

I think the answer is D) After cleanup, only one message per key is retained with the latest value. It makes sense to keep the most recent value for each key.
