[influxdb] Update or tag values already in database.

[d***@gmail.com]

For those who land here from a web search, please note that sequence_numbers were removed in v0.9.

There is (still) no way to change the value of a tag but you can, however, write a client script to do that - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41990346/change-tag-value-in-influxdb/48075134#48075134

Please also vote for the feature request to rename tags and especially to allow changing tag values based on WHERE queries - https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/4157#issuecomment-354939104

Hi Michael,
Yes you should be able to update a data point by setting the two fields "time" and "sequence_number". In order to get those values you'll have to query the time series first and make sure you query the data with microsecond precision since the timestamp must match exactly. See this conversation on irc https://botbot.me/irc.freenode.net/influxdb/search/?q=doobeh as well as these sections in the docs for more information http://influxdb.com/docs/v0.8/api/reading_and_writing_data.html#time-precision-on-returned-results
Cheers,

I would like to geocode entries already in the database. Is this possible?
Is there an update method?
