carbon-clickhouse is a production-grade Graphite metrics receiver and storage gateway written in Go. It ingests time-series data over multiple protocols (plain text TCP, UDP, Pickle, gRPC, Prometheus Remote Write, Telegraf HTTP JSON) and persists it to ClickHouse using the efficient RowBinary format. The system is architecturally split into receivers, a writer that rotates and compresses data files, and uploaders that batch-insert data into ClickHouse tables. Receivers handle protocol-specific parsing and drop rules; the writer manages chunking, interval-based rotation, and optional LZ4 compression; uploaders support points, index (hierarchical metric trees), tagged metrics (sorting, dedup, and URL encoding), and points-reverse storage. External dependencies include ClickHouse (HTTP interface), Prometheus protobuf definitions, gRPC, and common Go libraries. The codebase is well-tested, includes end-to-end integration tests with actual ClickHouse containers, and is actively maintained with CI/CD pipelines producing DEB/RPM packages.
