> We stood up a cluster that is processing over 350,000 events per second, with each event a fixed payload size of 2K. The storage required to process that much data over an hour is beyond what we wanted to pay for at AWS. Additionally, we don't have a requirement to keep the files around for an extended period after processing.
> It would be tremendously valuable for us to be able to define the log.retention in minutes, not hours. For example, we would prefer to only keep 30 minutes of logs around.
