The Bucketizer
Overview
The Trisul Bucketizer tool is a performance optimization feature that enables Trisul to efficiently handle high-resolution time series data. It achieves this by: Maintaining Multiple Resolutions of Data.
Functionality
Trisul stores time series data at multiple resolutions, including:
- High-resolution data (example, 1-minute intervals): Detailed data suitable for short-term analysis.
- Lower-resolution data (example, 5-minute, 15-minute intervals): Aggregated data suitable for long-term analysis.
When querying large time windows, Trisul automatically switches to lower-resolution data.
Configuration
The Bucketizer tool can be configured using the following parameters:
Figure: Sample of Bucketizer Configuration
Configuration Parameters
BucketSize: The bucket size in seconds.
TopperBucketSize: The Topper bucket size in seconds.
ThresholdDays: The number of days to count in that bucket size before switching to a lower resolution.
Example Configuration
<BucketSize>300</BucketSize>
<TopperBucketSize>900</TopperBucketSize>
<ThresholdDays>29</ThresholdDays>
This configuration sets the bucket size to 5 minutes (300 seconds) and switches to a lower resolution after 30 days.
