Question #159969 on Graphite changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Dave Rawks proposed the following answer:
the pickle format is quite a bit more efficient in on the carbon side of
things, but if you are writing your metric collector or proxy in perl
I'm thinking pickle is not what you want to do. At any rate in python
you want something like


        data = [ metric_name, [(timestamp,value) for record in records] ]
        serializedData = pickle.dumps(data, protocol=-1)
        prefix = struct.pack("!L", len(serializedData))
        message = prefix + serializedData

then use socket comms to send the message object.
