Key characters:

   Store time series data:  

• Data volume is large
• High number of concurrent reads/writes
• Optimized for (C)reate, (R)ead:    TSM Tree
• Limited support for (U)pdate, (D)elet  

Serial data is more important than single data point:

• No traditional id, data identified by series and timestamp   
• Good support for aggregation

Schemaless

• New tags can be added to new data record on demand

Key concept:

Measurement:

• Similar to SQL table

Tag:

•       Searchable
•       Indexed
•       Value must be string  
•       Cardinality limitation: (memory)
•       Optional
•       Support group by

Field:

•       Searchable (full scan)
•       Not indexed
•       Value can be string, float, integer, boolean
•       Can apply aggregation function
•       At least one field in measurement (table)
•       Support aggregation functions

Retention policy:

• Two key parts:
  Duration: how long data is kept  
  Replication: replication factor
• One measurement can have many retention policies  
• Default retention policy: duration = infinite and replication factor = 1
• Can be altered at runtime

Series:

The collection of data in the InfluxDB data structure that share a measurement, tag set, and retention policy. (not including fields)

Shard:

• Mapped to a TSM file
• Belongs to a single shard group
• A shard group can have multiple shards, each belongs to different series
• A shard group has shard duration, determine the duration of data span
• Default shard group duration can be deduced from retention policy duration

Special Features:

Continuous query:

Recommendation:

• Adding data in time ascending order is significantly more performant.
• Limit tag cardinality for optimal memory usage
• Use SSD for storage  
  https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/guides/hardware_sizing/#general-hardware-guidelines-for-a-single-node
• Use long shard duration for better query performance
• Use short shard duration for more efficient data deletion
• Shard groups should be twice as long as the longest time range of the most frequent queries
• Shard groups should each contain more than 100,000 points per shard group
• Shard groups should each contain more than 1,000 points per series
• When writing historical data, it is recommended to temporarily setting a longer shard group duration to avoid lots of shard

Limitations:

• Unable to store duplicated data.
• Query might not see most recently written data  (trade off consistency for performance)
• Only able to update field value with same measure + tag set + timestamp
• Unable to update tag value
• Unable to delete tag value
• Cannot delete a single point (workaround: delete base on time), can only drop/delete series
• No join table is supported

Commandline:  
./usr/bin/influx -username 'admin' -password 'password'

Issues:

If data point's time is before retention policy's valid time range, inserting it will show error:  "partial write: points beyond retention policy dropped=1"

If data point is inserted with retention policy, querying the data should also set retention policy. Eg  "select * from ninetyday.test1", otherwise, no record will be found 

Batch processing uses a separate thread pool and data is send to server if data is accumulated until flush duration (1s) or buffer limit exceeded (10000 records).   Need to call InfluxDB.close after batch processing to ensure proper resource reclamation 

max-values-per-tag limit exceeded (100000/100000):   /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf  max-values-per-tag = 0    or docker environment variable:  INFLUXDB_DATA_MAX_VALUES_PER_TAG: 0

Performance: 

Insertion: 

• 100000 records with sequential timestamp takes about 4 seconds
• 100000 records with random timestamp takes about 4.4 seconds

Query:

• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() limit 100  takes about 1.1 seconds
• select count(eventtype) from ninetyday.test1 where time < now()  takes about 1.2 seconds
• select count(eventtype) from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() group by userId  takes about 1.5 seconds
• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() and transactionId = 'transaction1'  takes about 106 ms
• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() and userId = 'user1'    takes about 130ms

Insertion:

•     1000000 records with random timestamp takes about 37 seconds

Query: 

• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() limit 100  takes about 8.3 seconds
• select count(eventtype) from ninetyday.test1 where time < now()  read timeout
• select count(eventtype) from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() group by userId  read timeout
• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() and transactionId = 'transaction1'  takes about 70 ms
• select * from ninetyday.test1 where time < now() and userId = 'user1'   takes about 130ms
