Hello! Is the Metadata Change Log persisted natively somewhere within Datahub? Our implementation of DH has a requirement to maintain a transaction register of all changes to the catalog for auditing requirements, and I'm wondering if DH can do that itself or if we have to build a microservice to listen to the MCL kafka queue and persist it outside of DH. Thank you!

You could just change the retention on the Kafka topic to suit your needs if Kafka itself is a reasonable store for your audit information. If you need to parse it out into a particular format then you'll probably want a separate consumer that persists it how you need it.

Gotcha, thanks Ryan!
