It isn't near as scalable as Riak, as the so-called clustering tops out at 3 nodes, but Influx is very very nice if you don't put gobs of data at it:

Riak is one of those systems, where it really does scale out linearly.

Things are actually about to get dramatically better for InfluxDB: https://influxdb.com/blog/2015/10/07/the_new_influxdb_storag...
I'm not sure how that helps fix the HA/FT clustering setup?

I can hurl more data at the system and have it go unavailable during a partition or lose updates when it heals?

Thanks for the heads up. As a current influx (and cassandra) user, I'm painfully aware of the limitations at "scale". Influx seems to be the best long term play, but still has some growing up to do.
