Patent number: 11960441Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards managing data retention policy for stream data stored in a streaming storage system. When a request to truncate a data stream from a certain position (e.g., from a request-specified stream cut) is received, an evaluation is made to determine whether the requested position is within a data retention period as specified by data retention policy. If any data prior to the stream cut position (corresponding to a stream cut time) is within the data retention period, the truncation request is blocked. Otherwise truncation from the stream cut point is allowed to proceed/is performed. Also described is handling automated (e.g., sized based) stream truncation requests with respect to data retention.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Mikhail Danilov, Igor Medvedev
