Explicit event retention policy in event stream metadata #107
Comments
Does the new language in section 7.1.2 address this issue? |
This language seems problematic for many transmitters. It would require that events be transformed cumulatively. Then the question would be how often and when. A transmitter that is detached from a generator would likely have no such ability. Regarding "retention policy" I don't think the matter has been addressed. At minimum, there should be some considerations that spell out that it may be impossible for a transmitter to "retain" events indefinitely. The pause state should be temporary (hours) not days or more. |
@tulshi I don't see any recent relevant update in 7.1.2 that addresses the event retention issue (as @independentid pointed out). This is something that need to be addressed before 1_0-ID2. |
Ok. I see the problem. The status values are repeated in 7.1.2.1, whereas they were cleaned up in 7.1.2. I will remove the ambiguity and problematice language from 7.1.2.1, since they are already specified in 7.1.2 |
@ysarig1 is this issue closed in the latest spec? If so, could you please close this? Thanks |
Related to: #106.
The SSF spec include two cases where events may be queued in an event stream:
In both cases, there is a possibility of many events queueing by the transmitter to the point that it is not practical for the transmitter to retain. We should consider adding an explicit limit to the number of events (or time?) that can be retained by the transmitter to event stream metadata.
