[influxdb] Rename Tag values in influxdb

[Ashish Rathore]

Actually previously i was using some another tag value and now its been
modified.

What should be best strategy to rename/update tag values in influxdb.

[Ashish Rathore]

If i want to delete old tag values can i use drop series with that
particular tag values as it removes it from index too.

There is currently no way to rename a tag except to rewrite the data with
the new tag value. https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/4157 is
the feature request to enable this, but it is not a priority for the 1.0
release. I hope that it will be part of 1.1 or 1.2. We are also working on
some bulk export/import tools so that you could read and rewrite the data
in an automated way.

As Sean said in August 2016, there is (still) no way to change the value of a tag.

You can, however, write a client script to do that - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41990346/change-tag-value-in-influxdb/48075134#48075134

Yes, DROP SERIES or DELETE SERIES will remove the tags from the index as well.
