iksaif / biggraphite

We are experimenting with storing Graphite metric in Cassandra. This repository contains related code. None of it is ready for its premiere yet.

BigGraphite

BigGraphite is a storage layer for timeseries data. It integrates with Graphite as a plugin.

For usage information and how to contribute, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Usage

See USAGE.md and CONFIGURATION.md.

Backends

There is only one supported backend that provides all features: Cassandra, whose design is described in CASSANDRA_DESIGN.md.

Another backend supports metadata only, stored in Elasticsearch, see ELASTICSEARCH_DESIGN.md. Using it, it is possible to use Cassandra to store data points and Elasticsearch to store metrics metadata.

Code structure

• biggraphite.accessor exposes the public API to store/retrieve metrics
• biggraphite.metadata_cache implements a machine-local cache using LMDB so that one does not need a round-trip for each call to accessor
• biggraphite.plugins.* implements integration with Carbon and Graphite
• biggraphite.drivers.* implements the storage backends (eg: Cassandra-specific code)
