Variable | MAX_HOURS_SEGMENT_OPEN | |
Description | The maximum number of hours a merge target will remain open for writing before being closed. | |
Default | 24 hours | |
Maximum | 24,000 hours |
The maximum number of hours a merge target will remain open for writing before being closed. A larger timespan reduces the amount of metadata in global for events, but may also lead to more replaying from Kafka in the event of node crashes.
