HistoryGluon
=====

HistoryGluon provides functions for storing/getting history data
into/from various DBs (mainly NoSQL) with a simple way from some programming
languages.

Currently supported databases:
 - HBase
 - Cassandra
 - Riak
 - Mem (mainly for test)

Currently supported client libraries:
 - C/C++
 - PHP

HistoryGluon was originally developed for storing history data of
ZABBIX (http://www.zabbix.com/) into NoSQL DBs. However, now it can be used
in other applications, because the APIs are general for the history data.
