Eric Yang commented on CHUKWA-307:
----------------------------------

Chukwa records are not uniform.  For example, let's say top, iostat, sar are 
groupped into "system metrics".  Chukwa records may contain only metrics from 
iostat and sar for one record, then another record contains top.  Records are 
arriving at different demux which prevent this to possible.  In addition, 
relational database has fixed schema, it's hard to add additional columns into 
database due to the fact that adding columns are time consuming process.  The 
real fix is to serve data from HDFS with index (CHUKWA-22), or use a column 
stored system like hbase.

The goal of this jira is to focus on small deployment to reduce the complexity 
of deploy chukwa without having to carry the weight of mysql.

> Refactor database to use lightweight scheme
