At some point somebody "invents" the circular buffers that have the multiple data resolutions that was RRDtool and maybe we get compact and fast time series storage and reporting again.
- sofixa 5y agoRRD is a terrible format. It's not compact, quickly becomes a burden when you have lots of cardinality, there's no metadata, HA is a joke and visualisation tools are basically non-existent. You basically need a whole set of extra tooling for metadata, visualisation, HA, querying to come even close to anything usable. If RRD wasn't so terrible there wouldn't have been a myriad of replacements.
- dang 5y agoInteresting - it looks like this is the only past HN thread about it: Beyond NoSQL: Using RRD to store temporal data - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2742486 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2742486 - July 2011 (18 comments) I found a few other tiny threads asking about replacements, and that was it.
