Hi Colin,
Thats not what we said in the previous email. RLMM is
pluggable storage and by running numbers even 1PB data you do not need more
than 10GB local storage.
If in future this becomes a blocker for any users we can revisit but this
does not warrant another implementation at this point to push the data to
remote storage.
We can ofcourse implement another RLMM that is optional for users to
configure to push to remote. But that doesn't need to be addressed in this
KIP.
Thanks,
Harsha
