Hi all, I finished the implementation to store images in files instead of base 64 Strings in InfluxDB.
For the first version I mounted a local volume and added the images in a folder in this volume. I think this is a good starting point because the images are stored in a local volume on the same host as the sink. Now the question is how can users access those images? I would suggest to extend the data lake REST API for that. Therefore, the backend must mount the same volume as the internal sink container with the data lake sink. Does anyone of you have an alternative solution? @Dominik, you implemented already an StreamPipes internal file storage. Could we use that for the images as well or would the frequency be too high? @all What about HDFS. We could set up HDFS, for files. Similar to InfluxDB as a shared service between multiple containers Philipp
