tl;dr Influxdb never really existed in Gnocchi. it was never stable and at some point went closed-source.

longer story. this project was initially built to be an API in front of InfluxDB (and other TSDB at the time). this was before InfluxDB v1.0 and we were working with them as they worked on building a stable db. in parallel, we were building tests to verify the API. over time, we realised the mock engine that powered our tests performed good enough (and in some cases, better than any other TSDB) so we continued to build it out. whether any of this is true years later, i have no idea.
