Kafka Node crashes intermittently when data is pushed from producer - apache-kafka

Question

We have a 3 node Kafka cluster (version 5.2.1, apache kafka version: 2.2.0) in our environment. For sometime we have been observing an exception which happens intermittently whenever we try to push data from a test producer. Following is the exception:
[Log partition=debug-topic-1, dir=/tmp/kafka-logs] Found deletable segments with base offsets [4] due to retention time 604800000ms breach (kafka.log.Log:66)

We have other producers which push data continuously to different topics in the cluster, but the aforementioned issue never happens.
I have tried to delete and recreate this topic debug-topic-1 several times to ensure that no corrupt or faulty state in present in zookeeper as well as in the kakfa logs. But still this problem occurs after sometime eventually.
If anyone has encountered similar problem and was able to get through it kindly let me know.

Seems like your machine might have rebooted or that /tmp was cleared in some other way.
You must change Kafka log.dirs (and Zookeeper dataDir) to not use /tmp
