With clustering being removed from influx, we are facing a problem with viability of continuing with InfluxDB. We are still running a cluster, but we want updates and some of the newer features not available in older releases. I am curious as to what are our options, since outsourcing it is not really an option in our environment.
As I understand, the recommended tool is InfluxDB Relay, but that appears far from being production ready and is missing much of the functionality to make it true "HA". For one, it allows very easily to get data to get out of sync between two instances and as far as I see, does not offer any easy way to re-sync the instances without taking everything offline, backing both instances up and re-starting them from a matched set. I thought I saw some non-cluster replication settings in the documentation, but i am not finding it anymore, I am guessing this got removed with clustering. Are there any other options? Ideally I would love to see something like a transaction log that can be replayed on a replica - so that I can take a snapshot of the box and then restore it onto another instance and resume transaction log playback from the moment of the snapshot - but any other ideas or ways to have at least a hot-standby would be appreciated.
