Indexing Method used in Carbon [Q] #925

Closed AKheli closed 2 years ago

AKheli commented 2 years ago

I am trying to find the support of the storage strategy used in Carbon for time-series. That is what types of indexes are supported and how could one configure them?

I am using Graphite and I want to make sure that I want to be able to understand the backend storage of Carbon and wether indexing methods on column fields are supported?

Thanks!

Hi @AbdelouahabKhelifati ,

Whisper is not relational storage and has no indices nor columns. It's simple file based format described in https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whisper.html For metric tree just normal linux file system is used, so, no need to additional indexing either.
