Jonathan A. Sternberg 0b7c56bcd8 Update the zap logger dependency
The previous sha was taken from a revision on a devel branch that I
thought would continue staying in the tree after it was merged. That
revision was rebased away and the API was changed for the logger.

This updates the usage of the logger and adds a simple package for
constructing the base logger.

The 1.0 version of zap changed the format of the default console logger
so this change moves over to this new logger instead of attempting to
retain backwards compatibility with the old format.

OpenTSDB Input

InfluxDB supports both the telnet and HTTP OpenTSDB protocol. This means that InfluxDB can act as a drop-in replacement for your OpenTSDB system.

Configuration

The OpenTSDB inputs allow the binding address, target database, and target retention policy within that database, to be set. If the database does not exist, it will be created automatically when the input is initialized. If you also decide to configure retention policy (without configuration the input will use the auto-created default retention policy), both the database and retention policy must already exist.

The write-consistency-level can also be set. If any write operations do not meet the configured consistency guarantees, an error will occur and the data will not be indexed. The default consistency-level is ONE.

The OpenTSDB input also performs internal batching of the points it receives, as batched writes to the database are more efficient. The default batch size is 1000, pending batch factor is 5, with a batch timeout of 1 second. This means the input will write batches of maximum size 1000, but if a batch has not reached 1000 points within 1 second of the first point being added to a batch, it will emit that batch regardless of size. The pending batch factor controls how many batches can be in memory at once, allowing the input to transmit a batch, while still building other batches.
