It depends on your application. Not everyone uses NiFi for IoT and
therefore a single record may be included.

This is not necessarily the point of the Data Lineage, that the
information is deleted after 24 hours (or whatever is configured).
If Data Lineage is needed (revision, legal requirements etc.), then
deleting the data after a defined time is not an option.

This is the reason why Atlas supports it.
