Allow retention policy to be specified for write #34
Conversation
According to the InfluxDB docs, when writing, the retention policy can be specified with a URL parameter named `rp`: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.2/guides/writing_data/#writing-data-using-the-http-api I was thinking that perhaps the retention policy name could be specified in the Series definition. Then multiple points could be written, each of which could have its own retention policy. In communicating with Influx support, I heard back this: "There is currently no way to specify the database or retention policy directly in the point at this time. Although a per-point retention policy option is already a proposed feature for the next version of the line protocol format." So, we can specify the retention policy name as an option to the `write` function alongside other options like `precision`.

Sounds great! I wasn't sure about the UDP side so that's good to know. It sure is encouraging to see those hearts in an email client, btw. 😺 I wonder if there's a name for that sequence. José hearts? Hearts of Valim? |
