Based on https://github.com/appcelerator/docker-influxdb-relay
Relay allows for a somewhat highly avaliable influxdb setup by duplicating writes to one or more standalone influxdb instances.
Relay sits in front of each influxdb instance, recieves a request and writes to one of the influxdb instances, returning a successful write acnowledgement. The write is then replicated on the other instances managed by Relay. Read requests are directed to the influxdb instances using a load balancer. This work allows the Relay element of the stack to be run from within a Docker container.
A load balancer implementation, based on haproxy and used to test this project can also be found at https://github.com/ahibbitt/influxdb-proxy
