Thanks Chris,
That was exactly what I was looking for.  I'm not going to be using a
database, other than using a standard naming convention off the filesystem
tree (solaris 8 ufs).  I know using a database might improve performance,
but the sheer amount of data we are dealing with really prohibits this esp.
from a maintain-ability standpoint.  Luckily, my employer has dedicated a
significant amount of hardware for this task, including 2 SunV880's with
NetApps and a GIGE backbone.  I'll be using perl to generate the data
points and to populate the filesystem tree, then using a scheduling servet
and the new java 1.4 nio features to read-in the data and gen the graphs.
Once we can get a proof-of-concept platform going, maybe we could use some
optimization consultancy from the developers.  Keep those opts rolling
Nathaniel!
