Abstract
Event record purging is selectively enforced in a high volume log system. A plurality of data retention policies is received for one or more data types. Each data retention policy can describe a retention duration for enforcement of different data types with respect to online retention and offline retention. Only online compressed file from a period of time potentially containing event records with an expiring retention duration are uncompressed. Other files are ignored to save I/O bandwidth for supporting queries of event records. Some implementations search records using the index as well.
