I'd step in as black guy coming from what I'd qualify as a priviledged background in Africa. So I don't think I can really understand the issues for black communities in America. But in my opinion, what is lacking for black communities is usually a global community strategy that free individuals energy by showing some beaten track they can easily use to reach the position people before them reached and build over this to move higher. Sometimes I have the feeling that black people fight the wrong fight. You can't ask for change without power and in today world it means capital. Black as a "race" is more than 1 billion individuals that's enough to foster anything important for the community as a whole. I don't know for the US but for France very few black people support black initiatives. They usual answer is that they'll do it when they earn more but we all know that money is never enough... In a world where your real voting power is your dollars this can't work. Asians understood this maybe instinctively. You have to build a working community first (paths for education, culture, jobs, households...) so that any average black person get a "good environment" to nurture its growth so he can become a good, balanced, caring adult.

The strategy so far was to publicly and politically fight (which is good) but after each protest the individuals are back to their own struggles with little to no help or care from other black people (again as a community). If everyone cares only for it's own issues it won't work. Our role is to educate young black people. Tell them how the world is but also show them that they have a functional place in it and that they can start to build it from elementary school!

Nice work! For those interested in similar projects, microsoft Orlean (.NET core) and Tarantool Cartdridge (C/lua) were bringing very nice concepts when I searched for a robust distributed platform for applications a few months ago. https://dotnet.github.io/orleans/ https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/2.3/book/cartridge/

Just to point out that there is inverted index implementation of graphite data working on clickhouse.

Regarding the auto-rebalance feature, I cannot much more agree with you. It's something that clickhouse definitely need to handle internally.

You should read the link below [1]. Even if it's not uber scale I suspect yandex to use something similar.

I agree that python implementation of graphite was not particularly fast but there was faster implementation in C that companies used first to significantly increase performance. Then coordination of storage backend becomes complex when you try to scale the initial design. This is where clickhouse really shine. It provide out of the box distributed storage with compaction, rollup and fast querying. The other layers are stateless, which means that they'll scale with your computing ressources.

M3DB is roughly doing the same thing as clickhouse but clickhouse is much more advanced database that has proven records of running at petabyte scale without a sweat. For example they now have tiered storage which means that you can store recent event in nvme and rollup to standard HDD...

I also confirm that. Several companies have successfully transitioned their monitoring stack from graphite initial python implementation to a clickhouse based backend.

Thank you. I'll keep that one. Still looking for something better ;)

It looks like you want to move to africa. Please have a look at my post :)

I have a "similar" idea I've been thinking about for the last few years. I'm not a developer but I know a bit or two about coding. Sent you an email

I'm be based in Paris and working on not the sexiest idea : a graphite/prometheus/influx Saas platform. The goal is to have a robust platform where companies and developers can throw their metrics and use a hosted or on-premise grafana to graph the data. I have other Ideas much more sexy but want to make this work first

Anyone interested ?
