Frequently Asked Question

SCIMMA strives to retain data in the Hopsotch kafka-based messaging system for 28 days. However, there are practical limits on the amount of data Hoskotch can hold.  

An example of a practical limit is that the persistence in Hopskotch is implemented on finite disk, which is typically shared within a group, between groups, and used by Kakfa itself. 

Bad things happened when this fills up, For example should a publishing process just flood the system. This may cause an operations incident affecting many independent groups.  Attempts are made to monttor for this behavior, and contact the Grout administrators for notice and to hear guidance. However in all cases, SCiMMA will act to protect the functionality of the system for all users.
