Up until that announcement, InfluxDB was planning on supporting all their clustering and HA capabilities in the open-source version, which is one of the reasons we had added it to Monasca.

There are several reviews to look at if you are interested at, https://review.openstack.org/#/q/monasca+cassandra. Shinya Kawabata has been looking into Cassandra most recently.

I'm sad that InfluxDB has decided to turn Open Core - but I'm glad that
work was already underway to look at Cassandra. Well done.

If you already have Hadoop, HDFS and Hbase deployed then OpenTSDB is an incremental addition, but if you don't, it is a significant investment. At the time that I had evaluated OpenTSDB performance was not on-par with the other alternatives I considered.
