Agreed, it's questionable why a company needs to save raw traffic logs for years.

  Yea, it seems like this project should have started with a cost/benefit analysis. Like what is this data used for, who is using it, how often and how to quantify the benefits the users derive from it. Not sure which the data couldn’t just be compressed into daily summaries in the DB, while the raw logs are stored (Compressed) in the file system in case you ever had to go back.

  Came here for this comment. 4 years of traffic logs... is just plain brutal.

  You say that but people were pretty upset that Google couldn't confirm if anybody exploited the G+ security bug past the last two weeks that it was discovered.

    +1 for them. Pretty cynical, I know. But imagine the request for legal discovery...
