Summary

The InfluxDB team has released an early alpha of a new query language and engine called Flux, which is designed to work with InfluxDB 1.4 and is compatible with the latest version. Flux is based on JavaScript and is intended to be more natural for time series data than SQL. It features a functional paradigm, named parameters, and a special expression language for specifying predicates. The goal of Flux is to decouple the query engine from the storage tier, allowing for future work on workload isolation and data science tasks. Flux is open-sourced under an AGPL V3 license or commercial license, and the team plans to continuously add features and release them regularly.
