Already been done in 2001-2004: Sensage (http://www.sensage.com/ http://www.sensage.com/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensage), followed by Vertica, etc. All the columnar-storage big-table timestamped data collectors and data aggregators. Sensage failed at the market. Splunk succeeded, perhaps with a different underlying data storage model, but certainly with great marketing.
What's different about InfluxDB?
- pauldix 12y agoI'm not familiar with Sensage and I know of Vertica. Open source is a key difference. Developers want to build their products and careers on open tools and we want to help them do it when it comes to time series data. There will be more as we go along. Our project is a year old and had 2-3 people working on it for most of the time.
