Hi,  
how would you handle the situation  
I have a large data source of 1000tis events/sec, which I need to enrich with data so that I can do analytics on it.

The data source has a small amount of data (i.e. 100bytes) but after enrichment it is huge (1,1kb) per event. Which at 100k events/sec is a significant difference.

Huge amount of data and consumes expensive storage.  
Am I doing data enrichment correctly in processing or is it better to use another storage method for this case?
