Might be worth looking into dalmatiner.io (DalmatinerDB) as an alternative to this. It's also built on riak_core to manage cluster membership and the top-level framework for dealing with routing and rebalancing.

Waited for a long time for Riak TS to come out. Tried KairosDB & Cyanite, but the operational overhead of Cassandra wasn't something I wanted to buy into for such a narrow use case (infrastructure metrics store), and then suddenly out of nowhere DalmatinerDB was released. The code is clean, the architecture is solid, and the ops story is simple.

I don't have any affiliation of any kind with the Dataloop folks. I am however a happy end-user. We do currently use Riak KV due to its CRDT support though.



DalmatinerDB has been around for a while now. I started working on it during the EUC in 2014, and it was released as part of ProjectFiFo the same year I just really suck at marketing ;).

But I'm kind of curious, are you using Dalmatiner directly? And if so what is your use case?


Current deployment is Graphite (Carbon/Whisper) proper due to a lack of time to change it out, but eval'd Dalmatiner and should be migrating to it in the next 6 months (before the year is out). Made it through testing like a champ.

The use case isn't particularly interesting though. Just multi-site machine and application metrics aggregation. Needed something that could work with Graphite tooling, would be highly-available, and be comparatively trivial to operate/maintain.
