Yesterday I posted about why we decided to make the switch to TimescaleDB and then later in the day we actually made the switch!
We are now running a copy of InfluxDB and a copy of TimescaleDB at the same time — in case we find problems with the new TimescaleDB database, we can revert to the InfluxDB database.
In the process of migrating we got rid of a pile of nasty duplicates that used to be created by importing from last.fm. We also got rid of some bad data (timestamp 0 listens) that were pretty much useless and were cluttering the data. If you find that you are missing some data besides some duplicates, please open a ticket.
The move to TimescaleDB allows us to create new features such a deleting a listen (which should be released later this summer) and various other features that because the underlying DB is much more flexible than InfluxDB. However, right this second there are no real new features for end users — more new features are coming soon, we promise!
Thank you to shivam-kapila, iliekcomputers and ishaanshah — thanks for helping with this rather large, long running project!
