Usage

Start by installing biggraphite:

$ pip install -U https://github.com/criteo/biggraphite/archive/master.zip

Configure Cassandra (you will probably want to tweak the keyspace).

$ ${CASSANDRA_HOME}/bin/cqlsh < share/schema.cql

Carbon plugin

In carbon.conf set the following settings:

BG_CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE = biggraphite
BG_CASSANDRA_CONTACT_POINTS = 127.0.0.1
DATABASE = biggraphite

You can optionally use whisper+biggraphite or biggraphite+whisper to enable double writes.

In local_settings.py set the following settings:

STORAGE_FINDERS = ['biggraphite.plugins.graphite.Finder']
BG_CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE = 'biggraphite'
BG_CASSANDRA_CONTACT_POINTS = '127.0.0.1'

You can optionally keep the StandardFinder to enable double reads from whisper and biggraphite.
