Delayed Deletion of OMS Data on Archival of order into Order Service

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

As Order Service becomes the primary source of truth for orders, we have been evaluating disaster recovery strategies for Elastic and Cassandra services.
One area of concern is potential data loss during OMS order archival into OS.

Given Cassandra's regular backups and the limitation of restoring only the previous backup data in a disaster, we're proposing a delayed deletion strategy. This would involve retaining OMS order data until after the next Cassandra backup, ensuring recently archived orders aren't lost during a disaster recovery. This approach aims to improve overall data resilience.

How will this idea be used?

Delayed Deletion of OMS Data on Archival of order into Order Service is expected to enhance the overall resilience of our data storage.
