KIP-186 — Increase offsets retention default to 7 days
Accepted Kafka 2.0 ConsumerBroker
Increases the default `offsets.retention.minutes` from 1440 minutes (24 hours) to 10080 minutes (7 days). New users are surprised to find their consumer group offsets evicted after 24 hours of inactivity, causing unexpected data reprocessing or skipping when the application restarts.
