Riak KV performance in sensor data storage application

A sensor data storage system is an important part of data analysis systems. The duty of sensor data storage is to accept time series data from remote sources, store them and provide access to retrospective data on demand. As the number of sensors grows, the storage system scaling becomes a concern. In this article we experimentally evaluate Riak KV—a scalable distributed key-value data store as a backend for a sensor data storage system.
