Optimize Job Scripts Partitioning : Ensure your data is properly partitioned. Partitioning divides your data into manageable chunks, allowing parallel processing and reducing the amount of data scanned. Filtering : Apply pushdown predicates to filter data early in the ETL process, reducing the amount of data processed downstream. Compression : Use compressed file formats (e.g., Parquet, ORC) for your data sources and sinks. These formats not only reduce storage costs but also improve I/O performance. Optimize Transformations : Minimize the number of transformations and actions in your script. Combine transformations where possible and use DataFrame APIs which are optimized for performance. 2. Use Appropriate Data Formats Parquet and ORC : These columnar formats are efficient for storage and querying, signif

The default topic retention period in Kafka is seven days. However, you can change the current retention period and keep data for a few more days.

Since space is cheaper, we can extend the retention period. Setup for the retention period Below is the setup in the broker configuration file for the retention period. log.retention.bytes The most significant size threshold in bytes for deleting a log. log.retention.ms The length in milliseconds of a log will be maintained before being deleted. log.retention.minutes Length before deletion in minutes. log.retention.ms is used as well if both are set
