Configuration for Helix:
Helix is a distributed, configurable, and resilient data structure server. It provides a set of APIs for managing and querying distributed data structures. The configuration of Helix is done through a set of files that are written in the HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) syntax.
The configuration files for Helix include:
- Data Values Schema Documents: These documents define the schema for the data values used in the configuration. They are defined using the @data/values-schema annotation.
