I'm with the team that built this. It's actually a new purpose-built engine, optimized for near real-time availability of large scale volumes of log data. It supports an unbounded number of fields across log records, and doesn't require the definition of a schema or dealing with data types at setup/ingestion time. Compute and storage are separate, which is what allows queries to address data from any time window. There is no limit on the data retention period.
