Thanks Rob for putting this proposal together, I think it highlights some features of what we want metadata RW and remote write in general to look like in the future. As others have pointed out (thanks Björn for giving such a detailed description) there's issues with the way Prometheus currently handles metadata that need to be thought about and handled differently when storing metadata in the WAL or in long term storage. I didn't make many more comments as most of what I wanted to say had already been mentioned by others.
As part of thinking about how to get metadata and exemplars into remote write, some of us have been discussing what we've been calling 'the future of remote write'. While there's nothing formal yet, I will be starting a brainstorming/design doc soon and would appreciate your input there Rob. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
