Raijin has announced the release of version 1.1 of its powerful, schemaless SQL-like database engine. Many new features have been added to version 1.1.

Let’s take a look at the highlights.

Prometheus exporter improvements

  • Introduced disk usage statistics - Disk usage statistics about free space availability and file system size were introduced.

  • Introduced query statistics - Event and query statistics were introduced in the Prometheus exporter. The following statistics can be queried:

    • The number of events per second ingested by the database

    • The total number of events ingested by the database

    • The number of queries per second performed by the database

    • The total number of queries performed by the database

Group records based on arbitrary time intervals

Data grouping support was introduced in the query language using arbitrary time chunks. It allows you to use arbitrary time interval-based groupings to render responsive timeline charts from the data.

New REST API functionalities

The Raijin REST API now provides endpoints for database management and health monitoring. The API comes with a Swagger UI that you can use to explore and interact with the API.

The REST management API includes the following features:

  • Manage databases

  • Manage tables

  • Manage table partitions

  • Check the Raijin server health status

Switched to AVX2-optimized binaries by default

AVX2 instructions are enabled by default in the Raijin packages. This allows you to take advantage of modern CPU instructions without needing to enable them explicitly.

Improved HTTP 1.1 support

Added support for persistent connections via HTTP 1.1.

Collect logs with NXLog

As a database engine, Raijin is geared towards semi-structured data, making it a perfect solution for log storage. Log data is notoriously unstructured, making it hard to store in rigid table structures like traditional SQL systems.

Raijin complements NXLog’s powerful log collection and centralization solutions. With NXLog Enterprise Edition’s Raijin integration, you can seamlessly and easily send logs from NXLog Enterprise Edition to a Raijin database instance. The two fit hand in glove, providing the methods of capturing, processing, and storing log data for a complete log management solution.
