Project name confusion #55

Closed brianhks closed 10 years ago

brianhks commented 10 years ago

Your project name is confusing users of KairosDB (kairosdb.org). And to make it worse both are time series solutions. So can you either make them compatible, change the name or do something to differentiate yourself.

Thanks

Thank you for the feedback, but this project has been around for 2 years now, and I won't be changing the name any time soon. As yours is a java project and this is python, the confusion should be minimal.

Look I'm not trying to be an ass, I only bring this up because we have users who have tried to use your code to talk to our system. At the very least can you add a comment to your readme that differentiates your project from ours. I'd prefer to create an integration so that your code talks to our rest service to ingest data.

I understand, but that's not what kairos is; it's just a library which hooks directly into databases, whereas it appears you have an application more akin to graphite. That's cool, but the two projects are vastly different. At this time I don't plan to proxy cassandra calls through kairosdb but there may be a use case for that in the future.
