Hi,
(Crossposted at OpenRiak GitHub discussions)
I am evaluating practices for data storage in my Erlang echo system and Riak thus OpenRiak seems really nice. I am both seeking to store Key-Value data and Time Series data.
The documentation of Riak-TS really appeals to me but I cannot find TS among the OpenRiak repos so I wounder what has been decided and if there are any plans for Riak TS to be part of OpenRiak?
Or are there perhaps another strategy for storing Time Series Data using OpenRiak instead?
Thanks in advance,
Erik
On the OpenRiak discuss page at GitHub I got the answer:
There has been no maintenance of the Riak TS branches through the OpenRiak community, and updating Riak TS is not presently part of the community roadmap. There are non-trivial problems to resolve to maintain Riak TS going forward, in particular the dependency on the leveldb fork.
As for a strategy for storing time-series data within Riak KV itself. There have been real-world examples of Riak KV being used at a significant scale for some specific time-series-related requirements, with Riak storing batches of time series data. There has been other interest in seeing this support formalised, and some suggestions put forward as to how the Query API could be expanded to make this more viable. However, there’s no immediate push to prioritise this at the moment, but I’m sure there would be interest within the community in hearing more about potential use cases.
