I really dig the line protocol. Pretty simple.

Any HA features? Sharding to look out in 2.0? Or is the general idea to set streaming relays of influxdb tsm's and treat HA as an L7 proxy routing problem (shadow metric traffic using envoy for example). How do people handle this in their production setups. Curious to know.

It would be cool if the query engine could talk to multiple shards spanning multiple machines for dealing with high cardinality series.

Right now we’re prioritizing work on the single open source server and our cloud service, which has a very different design. Flux will be able to query multiple servers and combine their results (in OSS), but that would be a building block for some HA or clustering.

So you could certainly layer in your own HA solution. We’re still working out what if any clustered for federated features will exist in open source.
