log.cleaner.delete.retention.ms — Kafka Broker Configuration

The amount of time to retain tombstone message markers for log compacted topics. This setting also gives a bound on the time in which a consumer must complete a read if they begin from offset 0 to ensure that they get a valid snapshot of the final stage (otherwise tombstones messages may be collected before a consumer completes their scan).
