Thanks for trying it out! I haven't had time to run any benchmarks, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do this (especially since it took so long!).

Thanks for trying it out! I haven't had time to run any benchmarks, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do this (especially since it took so long!). I'm not sure what the best batch size is at the moment. Timestamps are int64s, and it's up to the user to interpret them as they wish. Partition sizes are in terms of the number of timestamps. If you had timestamps which correspond to seconds, and you wanted each partition to be 1 day, you'd choose 86400. This isn't configurable yet unless you modify the source. I'm not surprised it's that slow. I'm not a storage engine expert, still a college student, and this has my first lock-free list implementation :). There is a lot of silliness going on with inserts, like launching a goroutine for each metric on inserts[0], using lock-free O(n) lists for sources and metrics[1] when I could have used a map, there's still a lock left that should be removed[2], and a bunch of others. On an unrelated note, I see that someone from Prometheus will be at Monitorama. I'll be there too, so I'd love to you guys some more. Thanks again!
