Data Lifecycle
The Data Lifecycle mechanism allows you to remove data above a certain age from your Hydrolix cluster. You can configure how long the data is active, as well as how long Hydrolix waits before deleting old, inactive data.
| Component | Description | Scale to 0 |
|---|---|---|
| Decay | Checks partition age. When an active partition exceeds the configured maximum active age, the partition is made inactive. When an inactive partition exceeds the configured maximum inactive age, sends a partition deletion task to the queue. | Yes |
| Reaper | Retrieves partition delete tasks from the queue. Removes the indicated partition from the catalog, then from the storage bucket. | Yes |
| Queues | One queue that contains partition deletion tasks and a separate dead-letter queue, containing expired jobs that were not completed within a certain period of time. | Yes |
| Hydrolix Database Storage Bucket | Contains the partitions that comprise the database. Part of the core infrastructure. | No |
| Catalog | Contains metadata regarding data stored in Hydrolix. Part of the core infrastructure. | No |
