Backends

There is only one supported backend for now: Cassandra, whose design is described in CASSANDRA_DESIGN.md.

Code structure

• biggraphite.accessor exposes the public API to store/retrieve metrics
• biggraphite.metadata_cache implements a machine-local cache using LMDB so that one does not need a round-trip for each call to accessor
• biggraphite.plugins.* implements integration with Carbon and Graphite
• biggraphite.backends.* implements the storage backends (eg: Cassandra-specific code)
