Time Series Databases

Time series data is of growing importance, especially withthe rapid expansion of the Internet of Things. This concise guide shows youeffective ways to collect, persist, and access large-scale time series data foranalysis. You’ll explore the theory behind time series databases and learnpractical methods for implementing them. Authors Ted Dunning and Ellen Friedmanprovide a detailed examination of open source tools such as OpenTSDB and newmodifications that greatly speed up data ingestion.

You’ll learn:

• A variety of time series use cases
• The advantages of NoSQL databases for large-scale time series data
• NoSQL table design for high-performance time series databases
• The benefits and limitations of OpenTSDB
• How to access data in OpenTSDB using R, Go, and Ruby
• How time series databases contribute to practical machine learning projects
• How to handle the added complexity of geo-temporal data
