Every major release of InfluxDB have been a rewrite.

While 3. looks impressive, it seems like most of the interesting features are closed source, so not a 1:1 replacement for version 1.

InfluxDB Edge is open-source, but you need to depend on InfluxDB Community which is free, but closed source, to get things like include functionality like a compactor, which will add capabilities for deletes and re-organizing files to optimize for queries on longer time ranges.

They also need to resurrect all their old 1.* Client libraries for 3.*.

I love InfluxDB, but I’m not hopeful for its future.
