Part 9/11:
While the system has been largely successful, some challenges exist:
Fidelity Concerns: Converting raw data into a generic, schema-based structure might raise fears of data loss. Redbus ensures that only structural information changes, with raw data restoration possible if necessary.
Schema Management Overhead: Managing multiple versions across varying buckets requires careful orchestration.
Evolving Data Structures: Continuous schema inference prevents manual updates but requires robust algorithms for accuracy.
Future Directions and Key Benefits
Redbus’s approach yields numerous benefits:
Cost-Effective Storage: Massive data volume retention at minimal cost.
Enhanced Troubleshooting: Immediate access to raw event data helps quickly resolve issues.
