Dendrite Library

[Ben Johnson]

Dendrite looks awesome! Even better that it's in Go.

Are there any docs on creating new destinations? Also, I was going to write something similar for an importer for my database (http://skydb.io/) but it'd be nice to leverage code in Dendrite. Are there any plans to move the Dendrite core into its own library?

Destinations are in the files io.go (for the transport protocols) and encoder.go (for the map->string encoding).  It's not terribly well documented, but you basically need to just create an io.ReadWriteCloser and a dendrite.Encoder, which is an interface for the single method: Encode(out map[string]Column, writer io.Writer).

You guys look like you might be similar to librato (json over http, with possible batching).  I have a pull request for librato that you could cargo-cult:  https://github.com/onemorecloud/dendrite/pull/21/files

I haven't really thought much about making dendrite-core as a library.  What are the use cases?
