# BigGraphite

BigGraphite is a storage layer for timeseries data. It integrates with Graphite as a plugin.

# Backends

There is only one supported backend that provides all features: Cassandra, whose design is [described in CASSANDRA_DESIGN.md](CASSANDRA_DESIGN.md).

Another backend supports metadata only, stored in Elasticsearch, [see ELASTICSEARCH_DESIGN.md](ELASTICSEARCH_DESIGN). Using it, it is possible to use Cassandra to store data points and Elasticsearch to store metrics metadata.

# Code structure

• biggraphite.accessor exposes the public API to store/retrieve metrics

• biggraphite.metadata_cache implements a machine-local cache using [LMDB](https://lmdb.readthedocs.io) so that one does not need a round-trip for each call to accessor

• biggraphite.plugins.* implements integration with Carbon and Graphite

• biggraphite.drivers.* implements the storage backends (eg: Cassandra-specific code)
