Append Stream

By default, the streams in Timeplus are Append Streams:

• They are designed to handle a continuous flow of data, where new events are added to the end of the stream.
• The data is saved in columnar storage, optimized for high throughput and low latency read and write.
• Older data can be purged automatically by setting a retention policy, which helps manage storage costs and keeps the stream size manageable.
• Limited capabilities to update or delete existing data, as the primary focus is on appending new data.
