KIP-1176 — Tiered Storage for Active Log Segment
Discarded Tiered Storage
Proposed extending tiered storage to upload the active (open) log segment to object storage so that follower replicas could replicate from object storage rather than from the leader broker. This KIP was withdrawn; the use case is covered by the Diskless Topics design (KIP-1150) which takes a more fundamental approach to eliminating local disk replication.
