Hi all!

Do you know any in-memory column-oriented database to put on top of InfluxDB?

I wonder if the performance will increase with Apache Ignite (as a cache system) compared with InfluxDB only (without caching). Even though it’s row-oriented it may actually help since all data resides on memory.

My guess is that something with a similar structure than InfluxDB would work the best, but I don’t know anything like that.

What do you think? Have you tried caching? What results have you got?

Regards,  
Matt

I think Influxdb has its own cache.
