Data Storage Configuration

HyperScale Data Store

In the HyperScale Data Store, three dedicated tabs are available for Hot, Warm, and Cold Data Storage. By default, the Cold tab is selected.

In the Hot, Warm, and Cold data storage tabs, you can find a list of available data tables in the Hot state, showing their name, size, and last modified time.

Restoring Cold Data

Cold data can be restored to a warm state if necessary, making the table queryable. It’s important to note that the restored data will reside in the warm state for the next 7 days, after which it will be permanently deleted, regardless of the retention settings. The restored data will be listed on the Warm tab with the “restored-“ prefix.

To restore cold data, follow these steps:

1. Use the Restore button under the Actions column of the respective row.
   
   
   
2. Clicking on the Restore button will open a pop-up window. Click on Initiate Restore in the pop-up to restore the data from the cold state to the warm state.
   
   
   
3. Similarly, for bulk restoration of data tables, select the respective rows, and use the Restore button located at the top of the table.
   
   
   

💡Note: Restrictions on Initiating Restore: Users will be unable to initiate a restore operation for a file or set of files under the following conditions:

1. Restore Already in Progress: If a restore operation is currently in progress according to system information.
2. Data Already Present in Hot/Warm: If the data in the table is already present in Hot or Warm storage tiers. This is determined by checking for the presence of a table with the same name in Hot or Warm storage. Additionally, if the data is within the retention period specified in the data retention settings and is already stored in Hot or Warm storage.
3. Insufficient Warm Storage Space: If initiating the restore operation would result in only 5% of the Warm storage being available as free space after restoration.

NoSQL Data Store

On the data storage landing page, you’ll find key performance indicators (KPIs) at the top. These KPIs provide quantitative information about the number of open indices, closed indices, and indices currently in the loading stage in the active indices tab.

Actions on Active Indices

To change the status of indices, the following action buttons are available on the top-right corner:

1. Refresh
2. Open
3. Close
4. Archive

💡Note: Open, close, and archive buttons are enabled after selecting indices.

Clicking on the respective action button (Open, Close, or Archive) opens a pop-up for confirmation of the action. Clicking Okay will perform the requested operation. The status of the indices will be updated accordingly. The status of indices may be checked by refreshing after some time.

Archiving and Retrieving of Indices

You can archive an index in vuSmartMaps™ to release all resources from the active data area. The main difference between closing and archiving an index is that archiving creates a data copy in your designated backup storage. This action frees up resources, including disk space, in the active data section of vuSmartMaps.

You have the option to upload archived indices to long-term storage for safekeeping. If needed, you can archive a group of indices together. Should you wish to retrieve an archived index, vuSmartMaps allows you to do so at any time. Once retrieved, all the data from that index returns to the vuSmartMaps system.

Restoring Archived Indices

1. You can find your archived indices in the “Archived Indices” tab on the Data Storage page.
   
   
   
2. To restore the archived indices, select the indices that you want to restore and then click on the Restore button in the top-right corner.
   
   
   
   
3. Clicking on the Restore button will bring a pop-up message, confirming which indices will be restored to active state.
   
   
   
   

Deleting Archived Indices

1. The archived indices can be deleted if no longer required with the Delete icon.
   
   
   
   
2. Confirming the delete message on the pop-up will remove the indices from archived, and the indices will be deleted from data storage.
