Extending the webapp to gather data from remote hosts

 

I'm currently collecting data on 20k+ points per minute on two machines and have hit an IO wall. I'd like to move the data out of whisper but in order to make use of this the webapp is going to need to be able to discover data trees over a remote connection.
It seems like the best way to do this would be to extend carbon-cache to 
also describe the sources it contains.  I wanted to reach out before I 
started implementing a protocol to get this information from 
carbon-cache. Ideally I will replace carbon-cache with a java app that 
will handle the storage and data serving.
In question 59255 
(https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/59255) I see that some 
thought has already gone into this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
