InfluxDB v0.9.0 release update 3` The development team has reworked the clustering and write path of InfluxDB, marking this as a major step forward in the 0.9.0 release, with significant improvements to stability and performance. This release introduces a new line protocol for writing data, which is vastly more performant than the previous JSON protocol. The changes will require users to blow away old data and config files, but future updates can be made without requiring migrations. A single server version of 0.9.0 with clustering marked as alpha will be released, followed by a stable release with regular point releases every three weeks.
