[tor-relays] CollecTor has been rewritten in Rust and is now live

["Silvia Puglisi [Hiro] via tor-relays" <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

We've rewritten CollecTor from the ground up in Rust, replacing the 
legacy Java service that has been increasingly unstable over the past 
months. The new service, collector-rs, was deployed yesterday and is now 
live.

You can find the source at: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/collector-rs

Shoutout to Juga who has been the main developer behind the redesigned 
service.

A couple of things to be aware of:

- Data continues to be available in the usual folders, so existing 
workflows should not be affected.
- You may notice some folders are temporarily duplicated as part of the 
transition. This is cosmetic and the underlying data is consistent.
- The instability of the old CollecTor may have affected services that 
depend on it as an upstream data source, including Onionoo, Tor Weather, 
the metrics website, and any community-run services or apps that consume 
CollecTor data. The new deployment should resolve these issues going 
forward.

If you run into any issues or notice anything unexpected, please don't 
hesitate to reach out or open an issue on the GitLab repo.

Cheers,
hiro
