InfluxDB - an open source distributed time series database Paul

Time series?
Metrics
Time Series
Analytics
Events
Measurements AND Events Over Time
Data model • Databases • Time series (or tables, but
you can have millions) • Points (or rows, but column oriented)
Data [ { "name": "cpu", "columns": [ "time", "sequence_number", "value",
"host" ], "points": [ [1395168540, 1, 56.7, "foo.influxdb.com"], [1395168540, 2, 43.9, "bar.influxdb.com"] ] } ]
Everything is indexed by series and time.
Simple Install No external dependencies
brew update brew install influxdb
RPM, Debian packages ! http://influxdb.org/download
http://localhost:8083

HTTP API Web services built in
HTTP API (writes) curl -X POST \ 'http://localhost:8086/db/mydb/series?u=paul&p=pass' \ -d
'[{"name":"foo", "columns":["val"], "points": [[3]]}]'
Data (with timestamp) [ { "name": "cpu", "columns": ["time", "value",
"host"], "points": [ [1395168540, 56.7, "foo.influxdb.com"], [1395168540, 43.9, "bar.influxdb.com"] ] } ]
HTTP API (queries) curl 'http://localhost:8086/db/mydb/series?u=paul&p=pass&q=.'
SQL-ish select * from events where time > now() -
1h
SQL-ish select * from “series with weird chars ()*@#0982#$” where
time > now() - 1h
Where Regex select line from application_logs where line =~ /.*ERROR.*/
and time > "2014-03-01" and time < "2014-03-03"
Only scans the time range Series and time are the
primary index
Work with many series…
Select from Regex select * from /stats\.cpu\..*/ limit 1
Downsampling on the fly…
Aggregates select percentile(90, value) from response_times group by time(10m) where
time > now() - 1d
Continuous Downsampling…
Continuous queries (summaries) select count(page_id) from events group by time(1h),
page_id into events.[page_id]
Series per page id select count from events.67 where time
> now() - 7d
Continuous queries (regex downsampling) select percentile(value, 90) as value from
/^stats\.*/ group by time(5m) into percentile.90.5m.:series_name
Percentile series per host select value from percentile.90.stats.cpu.host1 where time
> now() - 4h
Data Collection Client libraries, CollectD, StatsD, Carbon ingestion, OpenTSDB (soon),
Riemann (soon)
Built-in UI
Grafana
Behind the scenes
#golang
Garbage Collector Generational won’t save us
MMAP + Unsafe?
Storage engines LevelDB, RocksDB, HyperLevelDB, LMDB
Range Deletes Wildly Expensive
Shards & Shard Spaces
Query Parser YACC & Bison
Raft Metadata, servers, cluster state
Data replication Not write scalable!
TCP + Protobuf Intra-cluster communication, queries, replication
How data is distributed
Shard type Shard struct { Id uint32 StartTime time.Time EndTime
time.Time ServerIds []uint32 }
Multiple shards per duration Named “split” in the configuration
Data for a series for a given interval exists in
a shard* *by default, but can be modified
hash(database, series) % split
Scale out with many series
Questions?
