Abstract
The described technology is generally directed towards fine-grained data event expiration in a streaming data storage system. An event to append is given an expiration period, and the expiration time for the events in a data stream or segment of a data stream is the largest expiration time among events in the data stream or segment. Different segments can have different expiration times for their events. In a segment comprising a group of events, a subgroup of expired events prior to a stream cut are deleted by an expiration task. For a subgroup of unexpired events prior to a stream cut, the expiration task retains (does not delete) the subgroup of events. If a scaling operation is performed on a segment, the new successor segment or segments inherit the largest expiration time of the predecessor segment or segments.
