Provide scaler for Riak TS

[kozdincer]

Proposal

Provide scaler for Riak TS to scale on your metrics:

Scaler Source

https://riak.com/products/riak-ts/index.html

Scaling Mechanics

It specifically for IoT and Time Series data. It ingests, transforms, stores, and analyzes massive amounts of time series data.

Authentication Source

TBD

Anything else?

I think riak TS and riak KV should be written as separate scalers (as in redis-lists and redis streams)

Basho, the company behind Riak, has been defunct since 2017. While it does live on a bit via open source I think this is probably too niche for core inclusion and should be a third party plugin. (Sadly)

[kozdincer]

New version for riak kv was released yesterday. But I understand your concerns. maybe 3rd part scaler is the best. I understand. Thank you.

[coderanger]

Yes Riak KV and maybe CS have seen some continued life, I don’t think TS has? I can’t find much info on it post Basho.

[kozdincer]

Yes you are right. I don't even know how suitable the metrics to be taken from kv vs cs for using in keda. Thanks for discussion.

So what I'd propose is to look at an external scaler then and see what the adoption is of it?

We're happy to have a reference to it on https://github.com/kedacore/external-scalers!

@kozdincer Just out of curiosity - Did you take it further with this scaler @kozdincer ?

[kozdincer]

@tomkerkhove No unfortunately

[tomkerkhove]

No problem at all!
