[Hawkular-dev] Low-impact clients and never dropping any events

[Randall Hauch]

Just posted today: Parse.ly’s time series backend is log-oriented and uses the same technology I discussed earlier. But they have details about data volumes and how they aggregate/window data. Might be useful.

But it sure seems strange to have the Hawkular engine (for lack of a better term) be a library. Not only is that more complicated to set up, but if you design it to be embeddable then it will be harder to also make it scale.

But that can be easily wrapped up in a Docker image that people download and simply start, pointing via ENV variables to a Cassandra instance/cluster (perhaps also started from a Docker image). Better still is that these Docker images can be wrapped in a Kubernetes pod (that uses a Cassandra pod) and deployed on OpenShift. Now you have Hawkular as a service, but still easily installed on a customer’s network.
