During the last years, Big Data technologies, and in particular Hadoop and HBase, have enabled us to expand enormously the information that we collect and store from all our servers and infrastructures. We no longer need to discard old data using round-robin-databases or restrict the number of active nagios-style checks.
Now we can take full advantage of a metric collection infrastructure...
