The problem is the definition of high cardinality, the Gorilla paper talks about 2B metrics at FB but the hardware sizing page for influx shows a scary graph which basically kills any series cardinality above a million
InfluxData is a single server app with zero failover and zero sharding.
There is no "billion" metrics going in there. The architecture (or lack thereof) is not intended for that.
You can try vertical scaling (if you're not in the cloud), you'll squeeze more metrics until you overflow your network cards or your hard drives or your CPU.
