Overview of Time Series Storage and Processing in a Cloud Environment

In this paper we provide a short overview of Time Series Storage and Processing in a Cloud Environment. We focus on four main developments: Chukwa, OpenTSDB, TempoDB and Squwk. We compare them in terms of storage infrastructure, data acquisition, GUI and support for advanced analysis. In this comparison OpenTSDB emerges as the most interesting option for projects requiring support for advanced analysis. At the same time, TempoDB offers all the necessary basic functionality and can be a better option for many project which lack full IT support. We also describe other works in the field that have not yet developed in full frameworks. Some of them can significantly contribute to the existing platforms.
