Sink for TimescaleDB

Open ilveroluca opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

it would be great to have a Cygnus sink for TimescaleDB (https://docs.timescale.com/latest/introduction). TimescaleDB is an extension for PostgreSQL that brings advantages to the handling of time series data.

At first glance, it looks support for TimescaleDB could be implemented as a simple variation to the PostgreSQL sink. The basic behaviour is identical: only the table creation statement needs to be modified.

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback! I think it could be a good addition to the sinks ecosystem in Cygnus. We would be more than happy to review any pull request contributing with this new sink.

Maybe you can carry out that contribution, please? I guess that if you have proposed this issue you have a clear idea in mind on how to implement it and test it, so you are probably the best candidate to do it ;)

:-D I have no direct experience with Cygnus development and I have never even built it from source, so I was hoping to find an eager adopter of the idea. I'll have a look at your development docs...
