 为了帮助应用实时获取写入 TDengine 的数据，或者以事件到达顺序处理数据，TDengine提供了类似消息队列产品的数据订阅、消费接口。这样在很多场景下，采用 TDengine 的时序数据处理系统不再需要集成消息队列产品，比如 kafka, 从而简化系统设计的复杂度，降低运营维护成本。
 
-与 kafka 一样，你需要定义 topic, 但 TDengine 的 topic 可以是一张超级表，或一张子表。不仅如此，你可以通过标签、表名、列、表达式等多种方法过滤所需数据，并且支持对数据进行函数变换、预处理（包括标量udf计算）。与其他消息队列软件相比，这是 TDengine 数据订阅功能的最大的优势，它提供了更大的灵活性，数据的颗粒度可以由应用随时调整，而且数据的过滤交给 TDengine，而不是应用完成，有效的减少传输的数据量。
+与 kafka 一样，你需要定义 topic, 但 TDengine 的 topic 是基于一个已经存在的超级表、子表或普通表的查询条件，即一个 SELECT 语句。你可以使用 SQL 对标签、表名、列、表达式等条件进行过滤，以及对数据进行标量函数与 UDF 计算（不包括数据聚合）。与其他消息队列软件相比，这是 TDengine 数据订阅功能的最大的优势，它提供了更大的灵活性，数据的颗粒度可以由应用随时调整，而且数据的过滤与预处理交给 TDengine，而不是应用完成，有效的减少传输的数据量与应用的复杂度。
 
-消费者订阅 topic 后，可以实时获得最新的数据。多个消费者可以组成一个消费者组 (consumer group), 一个消费者组里的多个消费者共享消费进度，便于多线程分布式的消费数据，提高数据通吐率。但不同消费者组即使消费同一个topic, 并不共享消费进度。一个消费者组可以订阅多个 topic。如果订阅的是超级表，数据可能会分布在多个不同的vnode上，也就是多个shard上，这样一个消费组里有多个消费者可以提高消费效率。TDengine 的消息队列提供了消息的ACK机制，在宕机、重启等复杂环境下确保at least once消费。

-为了实现上述功能，TDengine 采用了灵活的 WAL (Write-Ahead-Log) 文件切换与保留机制：可以按照时间或文件大小来保留WAL文件（详见create database语句）。在消费时，TDengine 从 WAL 中获取数据，并经过过滤、变换等操作，将数据推送给消费者。
+为了实现上述功能，TDengine 会为 WAL (Write-Ahead-Log) 文件自动创建索引以支持快速随机访问，并提供了灵活可配置的文件切换与保留机制：用户可以按需指定 WAL 文件保留的时间以及大小（详见 create database 语句）。通过以上方式将 WAL 改造成了一个保留事件到达顺序的、可持久化的存储引擎（但由于 TSDB 具有远比 WAL 更高的压缩率，我们不推荐保留太长时间，一般来说，不超过几天）。 对于以 topic 形式创建的查询，TDengine 将对接 WAL 而不是 TSDB 作为其存储引擎。在消费时，TDengine 根据当前消费进度从 WAL 直接读取数据，并使用统一的查询引擎实现过滤、变换等操作，将数据推送给消费者。
