&gt; Also if traces are sent while clickhouse is down are those traces lost?
<@U04B1ABGG2F> you can configure buffers at otel-collectors but they won't be useful if downtime is in multiple minutes. We are planning to have Kafka before Clickhouse to decouple systems. What are your thoughts?

&gt; When switching to using s3 retention if the cluster fails to find the bucket shouldn’t it still show what was in the volumes?
This is completely managed by clickhouse. Ideally, it should. Can you please create an issue for this? We should test this and let other users also know about this

I haven’t used Kafka before but I think decoupling the systems is a good idea. I created the issue <https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/2272|here>. Thank you.
