InfluxDB v0.5.0 is ready for production, but users should be aware that there are still issues and features to address. The release adds support for clustering, allowing data to be split across multiple servers for high availability or scalability. Continuous queries have been implemented, enabling interpolation of column values into resulting series names. However, some key features, such as node replacement and database backup, are not yet available. The development team plans to prioritize addressing these issues in upcoming point releases, with a focus on stability and compatibility. Users can expect regular updates and support from the InfluxDB community and developers, who will also be updating documentation to make it easier to use the software.
