English | 简体中文

CnosDB is a high-performance, high-compression, and easy-to-use open-source distributed time-series database. It is primarily used in fields such as IoT, industrial internet, connected cars, and IT operations. All of the code is open-sourced and available on GitHub.

In its design, we fully utilize the characteristics of time-series data, including structured data, non-transactions, fewer deletions and updates, more writes and less reads, etc. As a result, CnosDB has a number of advantages that set it apart from other time-series databases:

• High performance: CnosDB addresses the issue of time-series data expansion and theoretically supports unlimited time-series data. It supports aggregate queries along the timeline, including queries divided by equal intervals, queries divided by enumeration values of a column, and queries divided by the length of the time interval between adjacent time-series records. It also has caching capabilities for the latest data and the cache space can be configured for fast access to the latest data.
• Easy to use: CnosDB provides clear and simple interfaces, easy configuration options, standard SQL support, seamless integration with third-party tools, and convenient data access functions. It supports schema-less writing mode and supports historical data supplement(including out of order writing).
• Cloud native: CnosDB has a native distributed design, data sharding and partitioning, separation of storage and computing, Quorum mechanism, Kubernetes deployment and complete observability, ensuring final consistency. It can be deployed in public clouds, private clouds, and hybrid clouds. t also supports multi-tenancy and has role-based permission control. The computing and storage nodes support horizontal scaling.

Write data

• SQL
• influxdb line-protocol
• bulk loading
• telegraf

The following will show an example of using cli to write data by SQL

1. CREATE TABLE

CREATE TABLE air (
    visibility DOUBLE,
    temperature DOUBLE,
    pressure DOUBLE,
    TAGS(station)
);

public ❯ CREATE TABLE air (
    visibility DOUBLE,
    temperature DOUBLE,
    pressure DOUBLE,
    TAGS(station)
);
Query took 0.063 seconds.

1. Insert a row

INSERT INTO air (TIME, station, visibility, temperature, pressure) VALUES
                (1673591597000000000, 'XiaoMaiDao', 56, 69, 77);

public ❯ INSERT INTO air (TIME, station, visibility, temperature, pressure) VALUES
                (1673591597000000000, 'XiaoMaiDao', 56, 69, 77);
+------+
| rows |
+------+
| 1    |
+------+
Query took 0.032 seconds.

1. insert multiple rows

INSERT INTO air (TIME, station, visibility, temperature, pressure) VALUES
                ('2023-01-11 06:40:00', 'XiaoMaiDao', 55, 68, 76),
                ('2023-01-11 07:40:00', 'DaMaiDao', 65, 68, 76);

public ❯ INSERT INTO air (TIME, station, visibility, temperature, pressure) VALUES
                ('2023-01-11 06:40:00', 'XiaoMaiDao', 55, 68, 76),
                ('2023-01-11 07:40:00', 'DaMaiDao', 65, 68, 76);
+------+
| rows |
+------+
| 2    |
+------+
Query took 0.038 seconds.

Query data

• SQL, compatible with SQL standard.
• Prometheus remote read.

The following will show an example of SQL query using cli

-- query table data
SELECT * FROM air;

public ❯ -- query table data
SELECT * FROM air;
+---------------------+------------+------------+-------------+----------+
| time                | station    | visibility | temperature | pressure |
+---------------------+------------+------------+-------------+----------+
| 2023-01-11T06:40:00 | XiaoMaiDao | 55         | 68          | 76       |
| 2023-01-13T06:33:17 | XiaoMaiDao | 56         | 69          | 77       |
