Designing a Parquet Catalog for InfluxDB IOx
One of the things we needed to either adopt or build for InfluxDB IOx is a database catalog. If you haven’t heard us talk about it yet, InfluxDB IOx (pronounced eye-ox) is the new in-memory columnar database that uses object storage for persistence. We’re building it as the future core of InfluxDB. A database catalog usually contains the definitions of a database’s structure like schema and indexes.
