Is m3ql still being used? And if so any thoughts on how m3ql and promql will respectively be used over time?

  M3QL still is the primary query language internally, however the query service is still being rebuilt in open source M3 - so it’s not available just yet. As to why we’ve kept it, there’s been such a large amount of functions we’ve added over time that don’t really have an alternative in say PromQL, etc - so we aim to offer both PromQL and M3QL in open source land and letting end users use either one. I don’t think either are better than the other one, they’re just different flavors - function expansion vs pipe based, etc. Here’s the list of functions, you can kind of get a sense of what I’m talking about just by looking at the list: http://m3db.github.io/m3/query_engine/architecture/functions/ http://m3db.github.io/m3/query_engine/architecture/functions...

  We are working on making WarpScript (http://www.warp10.io http://www.warp10.io) able to fetch data from M3, so you can benefit from 850+ functions for analyzing your time series data.
