You can try run purge manually see if it is working: org.apache.zookeeper.server.PurgeTxnLog.
And use a cron job to do clean up.

But actually nothing is deleted. Every service restart, new file is created. The only parameter I managed to change is preAllocSize, which means the minimum size per file. The default is 64MB. I changed it to 10KB only for watching the effect. ________________________________ This email and any attachments thereto may contain private, confidential, and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
