I don't think relay is supposed to be used to do queries other than write queries. If you take a look at the diagram in the readme, you can see that /query goes right to the InfluxDB box and not the relay box.

Yup, @shanab is correct. Relay is only meant to be used on the write path. The load balancer should send queries directly to the InfluxDB instances.

Relay may support some query handling in the future, but no work is planned at the moment.

@shanab @gunnaraasen you are may right. now i am looking for a whole solution with high availability. currently, there is only influxdb-relay which implement write. how to build the load balancer? is there any guidance?

@zhiwzhao I opened up a new issue to track docs around setting up a load balancer for Relay. See https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay/issues/14
