A New Twist: Rapid Loading of Historical Data
Using the extensions to Open TSDB, it is also possible to set up a separate data flow that
loads data in blob-style format directly to the storage tier independently of the TSD. The sep-
arate blob loader is particularly useful with historical data for which there is no need to ac-
cess recent data prior to its insertion into the storage tier. This design can be used at the same
time as either a native or a modified TSD is in use for other data sources such as streaming
data. The use of the separate blob loader for historical data is shown in
Figure 4-3
