KIP-1163 — Diskless Core

Discussion Tiered StorageBroker

Specifies the produce and consume paths for Diskless Topics (introduced by KIP-1150), where records are written to shared object storage via a Write-Ahead Log (WAL) without appending to local block devices or performing direct ISR replication. The existing classic topic architecture requires durable local block storage and peer-to-peer replication, making it unsuitable for cloud environments where object storage is cheaper and more elastic.
