It affects the disk space. The formula for calculating required disk space is **Replication Factor * Datapoint Size * Ingestion rate * (Retention Period in Seconds +1 Retention Cycle(day or month)) * Free Space for Merges (20%) **. The Retention Cycle is one day or one month. If the retention period is higher than 30 days cycle is a month; otherwise day.
