Timeseries: a new challenge
3
Timeseries database is the fastest growing
database category for a cause
Everything event based can be stored as timeseries
to observe and analyze change
Timeseries have unique challenges that can’t be
solved by relational databases
The challenge starts at the edge
• Collecting, storing, and indexing the data is a challenge
in itself because of the volume of data per device (jet
engines Paris to NYC: 200 TB)
• You need operational intelligence before the data is in
the datacenter
Most of the data is “uninteresting” but you don’t know
which part
• The database needs to handle write heavy scenarios
• Requires powerful indexing and compression

Timeseries have specific querying needs
• ASOF joins – Merge two different timeseries into one
• Resampling – Aggregate a high frequency timeseries
into a lower frequency timeseries
• Trimming – Remove quickly “old data”
