<ul>
<li>immediately delete all messages that have been acknowledged on every subscription, and</li>
<li>persistently store all unacknowledged messages in a <a href="#backlog-quotas">backlog</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>In Pulsar, you can override both of these default behaviors, at the namespace level, in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can persistently store messages that have already been consumed and acknowledged for a minimum time by setting <a href="#retention-policies">retention policies</a>.</li>
<li>Messages that are not acknowledged within a specified timeframe, can be automatically marked as consumed, by specifying the <a href="#time-to-live-ttl">time to live</a> (TTL).</li>
</ul>
<p>Pulsar's <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/admin-api-overview">admin interface</a> enables you to manage both retention policies and TTL at the namespace level (and thus within a specific tenant and either on a specific cluster or in the <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/concepts-architecture-overview#global-cluster"><code>global</code></a> cluster).</p>

<p>By default, when a Pulsar message arrives at a broker it will be stored until it has been acknowledged by a consumer, at which point it will be deleted. You can override this behavior and retain even messages that have already been acknowledged by setting a <em>retention policy</em> on all the topics in a given namespace. When you set a retention policy you can set either a <em>size limit</em> or a <em>time limit</em>.</p>
<p>When you set a size limit of, say, 10 gigabytes, then messages in all topics in the namespace, <em>even acknowledged messages</em>, will be retained until the size limit for the topic is reached; if you set a time limit of, say, 1 day, then messages for all topics in the namespace will be retained for 24 hours.</p>
<p>It is also possible to set <em>infinite</em> retention time or size, by setting <code>-1</code> for either time or
size retention.</p>

<p><em>Backlogs</em> are sets of unacknowledged messages for a topic that have been stored by bookies. Pulsar stores all unacknowledged messages in backlogs until they are processed and acknowledged.</p>
<p>You can control the allowable size of backlogs, at the namespace level, using <em>backlog quotas</em>. Setting a backlog quota involves setting:</p>
<ul>
<li>an allowable <em>size threshold</em> for each topic in the namespace</li>
<li>a <em>retention policy</em> that determines which action the <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/reference-terminology#broker">broker</a> takes if the threshold is exceeded.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following retention policies are available:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th style="text-align:left">Policy</th><th style="text-align:left">Action</th></tr>

<tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align:left"><code>producer_request_hold</code></td><td style="text-align:left">The broker will hold and not persist produce request payload</td></tr>
<tr><td style="text-align:left"><code>producer_exception</code></td><td style="text-align:left">The broker will disconnect from the client by throwing an exception</td></tr>
