Timeseries storage and data compression

Read Original

The article details the evolution of the Gnocchi timeseries database, moving from a naive single-file storage approach to splitting data into smaller chunks for improved speed and parallelism. It also investigates data compression techniques, including delta-of-delta encoding inspired by Facebook's Gorilla paper, to reduce storage size for timestamps and values.
