Research direction

Start by tracing KGW's schema polling and the deployment configuration that controls its interval. Confirm the current polling behavior, then verify that the interval is five minutes and that network usage is reduced without changing the documented deployment consequences.

Description

type: goal

detected our network usage was incredibly high (TB/day), and it was increasing proportionally with amount of streams
requests seemed to be coming from KGW since its outgoing data was low while incoming was high (eth0 interface)
Determined that the source is KGW polling all the schemas
We'll temporarily make this poll interval to 5 minutes. Consequence: we'll probably get dataset/schema/procedure not found errors right after creating streams. It only affects deployment. If desired, we can target nodes directly to avoid this error while deploying

Making the network usage lower, will reduce our cost on infrastructure
