The wiki states that random reads are not needed for a time series database[0]. I think they are, at least for the use case I'm interested in.<p>Let's say I have 1000 different metrics at 1-second resolution for a day. That's 1000 * 86400 values. Now suppose I want to get the points for a single metric for the entire day. Won't that require a scan of the entire data set (in other words, will this read 999 * 86400 values I'm not interested in)? How is this different from a table in an RDBMS that's only indexed by a timestamp?<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/akumuli/Akumuli/wiki/How-it-works" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/akumuli/Akumuli/wiki/How-it-works</a>
