Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database

Summary: Facebook's Gorilla is an in-memory time-series DB tuned for high-availability writes and fast aggregate analysis of monitoring data. Delta-of-delta timestamps and XORed floats yield ~10x compression, enabling memory-resident storage with 73x latency reduction and 14x throughput over HBase-backed TSDBs, while tolerating some write loss.
