Sandy: quick question - The event table you are adding in, how you are going to store the data? via normal pipleline(MQ) or via UDP publisher/Collector ? and is it going to share the same schema with Meter? -Shengjie

Hey Shengjie! It'll be something like the schema outlined here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/Supporting-rich-data-types .. the events will be those coming in from the Collector (aka the Nova event notifications). The raw json of the event will also be stored, but this will likely be done in a separate table. Meters will point to the underlying Event (if available). Events are different than Meters in that they generally aren't measurements, they're just points in time where things happened ... but Meters can be derived from Events. Hope it helps! -S
