Does OpenTSDB support modifying data?

Went through the docs. Did not find much info about this but :

  1. Does OpenTSDB over Hbase support modifying values? ( I know it does not make much sense as it is usually used for monitoring )

  2. Does it support adding a new tag to an existing metric value?

I need to do some analysis and modification on my time series data stored in OpenTSDB.Wanted to know if OpenTSDB provides a functionality to achieve that. Something like labelling a data point "useless" , so that next time i query data and i get the datapoint , I can easily filter it checking either tag or value.

Solution

  • What I have finally decided to do is :

    1. Analyse and classify the point as useless or useful.
    2. Retrieve the point with it's TSUID
    3. Use the api/annotation end point to add a local annotation to it using the TSUID
