    Description

      The documentation for the "retention.ms" setting is a little confusing. When looking at the documentation the property is in the first column, while the default server property is in the 3rd column which is named "log.retention.minutes". The description for the property doesn't describe the expected value, so it leads one to believe maybe "retention.ms" is meant to be minutes.

      I'd like to see the description for the property explicitly mention that the value at the topic level is milliseconds, where as it's minutes for the server level.
