Very tasteful way to handle the parent comment :)

Does Todd Persen talk about durability testing in the video or is more about performance benchmarking? I haven't watched yet.

Thanks :). He talks about doing kill nines on the process while doing a bunch of writes, trying to corrupt the DB, and perf testing. In addition to a little bit of talk about what came before and some lessons learned.

Have you had a chance to throw Influx through the paces of Kyle Kingsbury's Jepsen distributed data store tester?

Not yet, but it's on our TODO list. However, we have to finish the clustering implementation before we bother going through that testing. At this point we're telling people it's experimental and not meant for production use.
