The next-generation hybrid timeseries/analytics processing database in the cloud
## What is GreptimeDB
GreptimeDB is an open-source time-series database with special focus on
scalability, analytical capabilities and efficiency. It's designed to work on
infrastructure of cloud era, and benefits from its elasticity and commodity
storage.
The core developers of GreptimeDB have been building time-series data platform
for years. Based on their best-practices, GreptimeDB is born to give you:
- A standalone binary that scales to highly-available distributed cluster, with transparent experience from user's perspective
- Columnar data layout optimised for time-series, compacted, compressed, stored on various storage backends
- Flexible index options, tackling high cardinality issues down
- Distributed parallel query execution, leveraging elastic computing resource
- Native SQL, and Python scripting for advanced analytical scenarios
- Widely adopted database protocols and APIs
- Extensible table engine architecture for extensive workloads
## Getting Started
### Prerequisite
To compile GreptimeDB from source, you'll need the following:
- Rust
- Protobuf
#### Rust
The easiest way to install Rust is to use [`rustup`](https://rustup.rs/), which will check our `rust-toolchain` file and install correct Rust version for you.
#### Protobuf
`protoc` is required for compiling `.proto` files. `protobuf` is available from
major package manager on macos and linux distributions. You can find an
installation instructions [here](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/).
### Build the Docker Image
```
docker build --network host -f docker/Dockerfile -t greptimedb .
```
## Usage
### Start in standalone mode
```
// Start datanode and frontend with default options.
cargo run -- --log-level=debug standalone start
OR
// Start with `http-addr` option.
cargo run -- --log-level=debug standalone start --http-addr=0.0.0.0:9999
OR
// Start with `mysql-addr` option.
cargo run -- --log-level=debug standalone start --mysql-addr=0.0.0.0:9999
OR
// Start datanode with `log-dir` and `log-level` options.
cargo run -- --log-dir=logs --log-level=debug standalone start --mysql-addr=0.0.0.0:4102
```
Start with config file:
```
cargo run -- --log-dir=logs --log-level=debug standalone start -c ./config/standalone.example.toml
```
Start datanode by running docker container:
```
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
-p 3001:3001 \
-p 3306:3306 \
greptimedb
```
### SQL Operations
1. Connecting DB by [mysql client](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/):
```
# The standalone instance listen on port 4002 by default.
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 4002
```
2. Create a database;
```SQL
CREATE DATABASE hello_greptime;
```
2. Create table:
```SQL
CREATE TABLE hello_greptime.monitor (
host STRING,
ts TIMESTAMP,
cpu DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
memory DOUBLE,
TIME INDEX (ts),
PRIMARY KEY(host)) ENGINE=mito WITH(regions=1);
```
3. Insert data:
```SQL
INSERT INTO hello_greptime.monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host1', 66.6, 1024, 1660897955000);
INSERT INTO hello_greptime.monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host2', 77.7, 2048, 1660897956000);
INSERT INTO hello_greptime.monitor(host, cpu, memory, ts) VALUES ('host3', 88.8, 4096, 1660897957000);
```
4. Query data:
```SQL
mysql> SELECT * FROM hello_greptime.monitor;
+-------+---------------------+------+--------+
| host | ts | cpu | memory |
+-------+---------------------+------+--------+
| host1 | 2022-08-19 08:32:35 | 66.6 | 1024 |
| host2 | 2022-08-19 08:32:36 | 77.7 | 2048 |
| host3 | 2022-08-19 08:32:37 | 88.8 | 4096 |
+-------+---------------------+------+--------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)
```
You can delete your data by removing `/tmp/greptimedb`.
