The record

Product: LinDB is an open-source, cloud native, horizontally scalable distributed time-series database.
Use cases: The documentation describes LinDB for IoT and IT operations monitoring, including metric storage and analysis for IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and application layers.
Data model: LinDB uses a schema-free multidimensional data model with metrics, tags, and fields.
Performance: The product page says a single server could support more than one million write transactions per second.
Availability and scale: LinDB supports multiple replicas, horizontal scaling, and operation across multiple IDCs.
Automatic rollups: LinDB automatically supports rollups at minute, hour, and day intervals after database creation.
Data and time limits: LinDB currently supports numeric time-series data with time accuracy up to the second; the documentation says it is unsuitable for text records or finer time accuracy.
Architecture and dependency: LinDB separates computation and storage, and its documentation identifies ETCD as its only external dependency.
Connections: LinDB provides an admin console, client connections, and an HTTP REST API for inserting and querying data.
Integrations and protocols: The documentation describes client libraries including Go and Java, and an HTTP write endpoint that accepts InfluxDB Line Protocol.
Deployment platforms: The package guide documents installation on Linux, Windows, and macOS; the product also provides a Docker deployment guide for Linux.
Support: The product page links to GitHub channels for feature requests, bug reports, and questions.
Storage model: LinDB uses a schema-free multidimensional data model with metrics, tags, and fields.
Query language: LinQL provides SQL-like syntax for querying data and performing cluster or database operations.
