PROFILE
Will Zahary Henderson
Worked on the databricks/thanos repository to deliver multi-tenant data management and observability features for cloud-native time series storage. Developed tenant-aware object storage path prefixing, dynamic tenant discovery from S3, and weighted shard-based partitioning to improve data isolation and scalability. Refactored the compactor for modularity, introduced tenant-specific compaction handlers, and enhanced error handling for stability. Implemented YAML-driven tenant attribution, metrics filtering with blocklist support, and robust end-to-end testing. Leveraged Go, Prometheus, and cloud storage integration to ensure maintainable, testable code. The work focused on scalable multi-tenant architecture, efficient data processing, and operational reliability in production environments.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 - Databricks Thanos: Focused on stabilizing and scaling the multitenant compactor in multi-tenant deployments. Implemented error handling improvements, removed redundant path prefixes, and strengthened tenant management for object storage. A targeted fix addressed issues in the multitenant compactor (commit e87483207ee7f55b21a1b722fd1d638c1d89b1cf; relating to #321). These changes reduce runtime errors, simplify maintenance, and improve throughput in multi-tenant scenarios.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for databricks/thanos focusing on feature delivery and impact. Delivered a blocklist-based metrics filtering feature to improve data quality and reduce noise in the metrics pipeline. The change includes negation-pattern support, dynamic reloading of blocklist rules, and integration into the metrics receiving process. This work is documented in commit 3a563512404ee6ef96d715247702c9a0073c0fa1 (Implement metrics blocklisting in thanos with negation pattern support).

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for databricks/thanos: Delivered multi-tenant attribution features and observability enhancements that enable scalable, accurate tenant routing and attribution for time series data. Key work includes: (1) Tenant Attribution System and Filtering for Time Series Data with dynamic tenant attribution controlled by YAML configuration and rules-based categorization/verification modes; (2) Tenant Attribution Metrics Enhancements adding tenant labels to attribution mismatch metrics and expanding coverage to more granular tenant attributes; (3) Thanos Write and Tenant Attribution Metrics introducing new metrics for tenant attribution and write requests to improve observability across read/write paths; (4) End-to-End Tests Adaptation for Tenant Label Changes updating tests to the new tenant label structure and ensuring safe fallback when labels are absent. Business value: improved data isolation and correctness across tenants, faster detection/ remediation of attribution mismatches, and more reliable CI coverage for scalable multi-tenant deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: YAML-driven dynamic routing, metrics instrumentation and labeling, enhanced observability for Thanos integration, robust E2E testing and test reliability.
