Description

Introduces historical tier aliases in the Coordinator dynamic config. This allows usage of a virtual "alias" tier in retention rules, e.g. hot to map to N other historical tiers. The alias tier is virtual (it itself doesn't store segments), but instead acts as a single identifier for a group of replica tiers. This reduces friction for operators (to not need to duplicate their retention rules N times) as well as enabling use-cases like:

  1. Rolling deployments that use historical tiering for query/data isolation across versions (e.g. ensure new version of historical on hot_new and old version of historical on hot_old load the same data).
  2. Historical tiers to be mirrored across different regions/AZs for fault-tolerance.

Release note

Introduces historical tier aliases in the Coordinator dynamic config. This allows usage of a virtual "alias" tier in retention rules, e.g. hot to map to N other historical tiers.
