[influxdb] How to update record in Influxdb 0.9

[s***@redblink.com]

Hi ,

I was trying to play with latest version after a year.

Just wondering , how we can update data points?

I fired below commnads and it just worked fine

INSERT cpu,host=serverB,region=us_west sequence_number=11111,value=0.73,browser="IE" 1443447407236000000
INSERT cpu,host=serverB,region=us_west sequence_number=11111,value=0.73,browser="FF" 1443447407236000000

But when i remobed one of the tag, it created new records. I was expecting it to just update record without touching host tag.

INSERT cpu,host=serverB,region=us_west sequence_number=11111,value=0.73,browser="IE" 1443447407236000000
INSERT cpu,region=us_west sequence_number=11111,value=0.73,browser="FF" 1443447407236000000

Also i don't find any reference to sequence_number in v.9 documentation?

Just to clarify, you CAN update points in 0.9+ by writing a point with the same measurement names, tag set, and timestamp. Correct?

The behaviour you are seeing is by design -- you can't currently update points in the 0.9 version. Sequence numbers have also been removed and are not present in the 0.9 version.
