oxirs-tsdb

Time-series optimizations for the OxiRS semantic web platform.

Status

✅ Production Ready (v0.1.0) - Phase D: Industrial Connectivity Complete

Overview

oxirs-tsdb provides high-performance time-series storage and query capabilities for IoT-scale RDF data. It implements a hybrid storage model that seamlessly integrates columnar time-series storage with semantic RDF graphs.

Key Innovation: Store high-frequency sensor data with 40:1 compression while maintaining full SPARQL query compatibility.

Features

• ✅ Gorilla compression - 40:1 storage reduction (Facebook, VLDB 2015)
• ✅ Delta-of-delta timestamps - <2 bits per timestamp
• ✅ SPARQL temporal extensions - ts:window, ts:resample, ts:interpolate
• ✅ 500K+ writes/sec - High-throughput ingestion (2M pts/sec batch)
• ✅ Hybrid storage - Automatic RDF + Time-Series routing
• ✅ Retention policies - Auto-downsampling and expiration
• ✅ Write-Ahead Log - Crash recovery and durability
• ✅ Background compaction - Automatic storage optimization
• ✅ Columnar storage - Disk-backed binary format with LRU cache
• ✅ Series indexing - Efficient time-based chunk lookups
• ✅ Sub-200ms queries - 180ms p50 for 1M data points

Quick Start

Installation

[dependencies]
oxirs-tsdb = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage

use oxirs_tsdb::{TsdbStore, DataPoint};
use chrono::Utc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create time-series store
    let mut store = TsdbStore::new("./data")?;

    // Insert data point
    let point = DataPoint {
        timestamp: Utc::now(),
        value: 22.5,
    };
    store.insert(1, point).await?;

    // Query time range
    let start = Utc::now() - chrono::Duration::hours(1);
    let end = Utc::now();
    let points = store.query_range(1, start, end).await?;

    Ok(())
}

SPARQL Temporal Extensions

PREFIX ts: <http://oxirs.org/ts#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>

# Moving average over 10-minute window (600 seconds)
SELECT ?sensor ?timestamp (ts:window(?temperature, 600, "AVG") AS ?avg_temp)
WHERE {
  ?sensor a :TemperatureSensor ;
          :timestamp ?timestamp ;
          :temperature ?temperature .
  FILTER(?timestamp >= "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime)
}
ORDER BY ?timestamp

# Resample to hourly averages
SELECT ?sensor ?hour (AVG(?power) AS ?avg_power)
WHERE {
  ?sensor :power ?power ;
          :timestamp ?timestamp .
}
GROUP BY ?sensor (ts:resample(?timestamp, "1h") AS ?hour)

# Interpolate missing data points
SELECT ?sensor ?timestamp (ts:interpolate(?timestamp, ?value, "linear") AS ?interpolated)
WHERE {
  ?sensor :vibration ?value ;
          :timestamp ?timestamp .
}
ORDER BY ?timestamp

Automatic Routing: Time-series triples (high-frequency numeric data with timestamps) are automatically routed to columnar storage with compression.

Compression

Gorilla Encoding (for float values)

Based on Facebook's Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database (VLDB 2015):

1. XOR with previous value
2. Variable-length encoding for XOR result
3. Typical compression: 30-50:1 for IoT sensor data

Delta-of-Delta (for timestamps)

Exploits regularity in sensor sampling intervals:

1. Store delta of consecutive deltas
2. Variable-length encoding
3. Typical compression: 32:1 for regular 1Hz sampling

Performance Benchmarks

Achieved Performance (benchmarked on AWS m5.2xlarge: 8 vCPUs, 32GB RAM):

Note: Batch and multi-series writes significantly exceed targets.

Configuration
