Hi everyone! I have very recently started exploring Pinot. I am facing a few problems while ingesting data from Kafka topic. 1. Is there a way I can delete data from pinot cluster but keep it in deep store? 2. if suddenly my cluster goes down, then from which state deep store will my restore data?

1. Do you mean that you want to make it un-queriable? Could you please help me understand why you want to keep it only in deep store? 2. States are kept in zookeeper, so the cluster will try to restore to states saved in zookeeper. (If deep store is destroyed, the cluster cannot be recovered)

thanks @Haitao Zhang. I am just exploring different possibilities.
