This cookbook walks you through using tiered storage in your Pulsar cluster. +Tiered storage currently uses [Apache Jclouds](https://jclouds.apache.org) to supports [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) and [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/)(GCS for short) for long term storage. With Jclouds, it is easy to add support for more [cloud storage providers](https://jclouds.apache.org/reference/providers/#blobstore-providers) in the future. + ## When should I use Tiered Storage? Tiered storage should be used when you have a topic for which you want to keep a very long backlog for a long time. For example, if you have a topic containing user actions which you use to train your recommendation systems, you may want to keep that data for a long time, so that if you change your recommendation algorithm you can rerun it against your full user history. @@ -17,44 +19,44 @@ A topic in Pulsar is backed by a log, known as a managed ledger.

The threshold is based on the size of data that the topic has stored on the pulsar cluster. Once the topic reaches the threshold, an offload operation will be triggered. Setting a negative value to the threshold will disable automatic offloading. Setting the threshold to 0 will cause the broker to offload data as soon as it possiby can.
