Hi Tom, I have tried to answer the comments. Please comment on their satisfactoriness. I am happy for a call if required (or discussion gets tough).
I think, the lossless nature can be controlled by the user based on the config (limit_retries), and let the users have more control, as to whether they are happy to compromise a bit, if the retry is too much, since as such, if the retrying happens forever, then I don't think that is helpful (it will never be accepted by the remote storage). Also as Chris mentioned, some users might prefer to have few gaps and give more priority to recent data, like for alerting. So, I think this approach gives more flexibility to the user, at the same time, making it optional (or by setting the retry count high enough). (apologies if I am wrong somewhere) Thank you Harkishen Singh On Saturday, February 27, 2021 at 7:36:48 PM UTC+5:30 [email protected] wrote: > Hi Harkishen!
