Might be worth looking into dalmatiner.io (DalmatinerDB) as an alternative to this.  It&#x27;s also built on riak_core to manage cluster membership and the top-level framework for dealing with routing and rebalancing.<p>Waited for a long time for Riak TS to come out.  Tried KairosDB &amp; Cyanite, but the operational overhead of Cassandra wasn&#x27;t something I wanted to buy into for such a narrow use case (infrastructure metrics store), and then suddenly out of nowhere DalmatinerDB was released.  The code is clean, the architecture is solid, and the ops story is simple.<p>I don&#x27;t have any affiliation of any kind with the Dataloop folks.  I am however a happy end-user.  We do currently use Riak KV due to its CRDT support though.
