Hi Gnocchi Devs,

We have been using gnocchi for a while now with the influxDB driver and are 
keen to get the influxdb driver back into upstream.

However looking into the code and how it’s arranged it looks like there are a 
lot of assumptions that the backend storage driver is carbonara based.

Is gnocchi an API for time series DBs or is it a time series DB itself? 

In saying that we have resurrected the driver in the stable/2.1 branch and it 
works great. 

Running tox I get:

======
Totals
======
Ran: 2655 tests in 342.0000 sec.
 - Passed: 2353
 - Skipped: 293
 - Expected Fail: 0
 - Unexpected Success: 0
 - Failed: 9
Sum of execute time for each test: 1135.6970 sec.

The tests that are failing are due to the way carbonara and influx handle the 
retention and multiple granularities differently. (which we can work around 
outside of gnocchi for now)

So I guess I’m wondering if there will be support for other drivers apart from 
carbonara?

We use influx because we already use it for other stuff within our organisation 
and don’t want to set up ceph or swift (which is quite an endeavour) to support 
another time series DB.

Thanks,
Sam
