InfluxDB 3.x "IOx" Community

Community Builds and Containers for InfluxDB 3.0 IOx (eye-ox) aka Edge

Motivation

😄 You want to try and experiment with IOx low-cost storage, unlimited cardinality and flight sql
🥵‍ The IOx project is in "Cloud Only" mode and InfluxDB is not producing builds yet...
😄 No problem! Meet the unofficial InfluxDB 3.0 "IOx" musl + docker builder for early adopters

Nightly Builds

amd64/musl

docker: docker pull ghcr.io/metrico/influxdb-edge-musl:latest
binary: github.com/metrico/iox-community/releases/latest/download/influxdb3

Preparation

Before proceeding further, familiarize with the IOx/InfluxDB 3.0 design concepts and components

Loading

Get Started

This guide uses Docker and docker-compose. You can run locally using a static build.

Static

curl -fsSL github.com/metrico/iox-builder/releases/latest/download/influxdb3 -O \
&& chmod +x influxdb3

Docker

The default compose uses local filesystem. Use the full recipe for Object Storage and Postgres Catalog.

docker-compose up -f docker-compose.yml -d

Your local IOx endpoint should be ready on port 8086

Health

Check the instance health:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8086/health

The expected response is OK

IOx Settings

Deploy IOx using different settings

This demo will launch IOx router, querier, ingester and compactor on the same host using local storage:

Each service uses a dedicated port for scaling and distribution. In this demo, nginx will proxy traffic between services.

      - INFLUXDB_IOX_OBJECT_STORE=file
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_DB_DIR=/data
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_BUCKET=iox
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_CATALOG_DSN=sqlite:///data/catalog.sqlite
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_ROUTER_HTTP_BIND_ADDR=iox:8080
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_ROUTER_GRPC_BIND_ADDR=iox:8081
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_QUERIER_GRPC_BIND_ADDR=iox:8082
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_INGESTER_GRPC_BIND_ADDR=iox:8083
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_COMPACTOR_GRPC_BIND_ADDR=iox:8084

Each server needs an identifier for writing to object storage and as an identifier that is added to replicated writes, Write Buffer segments and Chunks. Must be unique in a group of connected or semi-connected IOx servers. Must be a number that can be represented by a 32-bit unsigned integer.

      - INFLUXDB_IOX_ID=1

The demo catalog uses sqlite by default. To enable persistent catalog using postgres, use the following:

      - INFLUXDB_IOX_CATALOG_DSN=postgres://postgres@localhost:5432/postgres

The demo stores to filesystem. To enable S3/R2/Minio object storage use the following parameters:

      - INFLUXDB_IOX_OBJECT_STORE=s3
      - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=access_key_value
      - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret_access_key_value
      - AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2
      - INFLUXDB_IOX_BUCKET=bucket-name
      - AWS_ENDPOINT = http://minio:9000

For other storage options refer to env example

API Proxy

To emulate InfluxDB3.0 Cloud works, an nginx proxy is included to serve all IOx services from a single endpoint.

events {}
http {
  server {
    listen 8086;
    http2 on;
    location /api {
       proxy_pass_request_headers on;
       proxy_pass http://iox:8080;
    }
    location /health {
       proxy_pass http://iox:8080;
    }
    location / {
       proxy_pass_request_headers on;
       if ($http_content_type = "application/grpc") {
            grpc_pass iox:8082;
       }
       proxy_pass http://iox:8082;
    }
  }
}

Query

Let's launch the sql client using the querier gRPC API on port 8082

Using Binary: ./influxdb3 --host http://localhost:8082 sql
Using Docker: docker run -ti --rm ghcr.io/metrico/iox:latest --host http://iox:8082 sql

Flight SQL

The first requirement is to choose a namespace (or bucket) from the available ones:

> show namespaces;

+--------------+-----------------+
| namespace_id | name            |
+--------------+-----------------+
| 1            | company_sensors |
+--------------+-----------------+

> use company_sensors;
You are now in remote mode, querying namespace company_sensors

Once a namespace is selected, we can display any contained tables:

company_sensors> show tables;

+---------------+--------------------+-------------+------------+
| table_catalog | table_schema       | table_name  | table_type |
+---------------+--------------------+-------------+------------+
| public        | iox                | cpu         | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | disk        | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | diskio      | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | mem         | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | net         | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | processes   | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | swap        | BASE TABLE |
| public        | iox                | system      | BASE TABLE |
| public        | system             | queries     | BASE TABLE |
| public        | information_schema | tables      | VIEW       |
| public        | information_schema | views       | VIEW       |
| public        | information_schema | columns     | VIEW       |
| public        | information_schema | df_settings | VIEW       |
+---------------+--------------------+-------------+------------+

From any of the available tables, we can select data:

company_sensors> select count(*) from cpu;

+-----------------+
| COUNT(UInt8(1)) |
+-----------------+
| 248             |
+-----------------+
