My use case is, We have almost 500 gb of logs everyday. We have cluster size in TBs. We want to keep logs on cluster for 7 days after that I want to zip and store it to other storage. Whenever particular date's log is required I will simply unzip and restore it to cluster. But I am unable to take zip of one day(24hr). kindly suggest a way.  
where I can keep 7 days data on cluster and will able to restore one day's unzipped data on cluster
