An earlier iteration of our storage was actually based on LevelDB (key-value store), with this kind of key->value layout: [time series fingerprint : time range] -> [chunk of ts/value samples]] At least this scheme performed way w

(Prometheus author here) Yeah, InfluxDB is great, but suits slightly different use cases than Prometheus. That is, monitoring numeric time series vs. event logging, basically. Still, I could well imagine running both in a single organizatio
