I don't understand the technical details, but look at the blockchain size chart:
https://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size
if all the transactions are recorded in blockchain, it will surely grow out of the capacity of any hard disk in one year, after another year, it will grow out of the capacity of any storage server farm I know. This has to be solved as soon as possible
Any client should only interested in those transactions related to his own account, for other transactions he can use block explorer to search, maybe someone from a bank can explain how bank handle huge amount of transaction records?
