influxdb-client-java

This repository contains the Java client library for use with InfluxDB 2.x and Flux. Currently, Java, Reactive, Kotlin and Scala clients are implemented. InfluxDB 3.x users should instead use the lightweight v3 client library. InfluxDB 1.x users should use the v1 client library.

For ease of migration and a consistent query and write experience, v2 users should consider using InfluxQL and the v1 client library.

Clients

The Java, Reactive, OSGi, Kotlin and Scala clients are implemented for the InfluxDB 2.x:

There is also possibility to use the Flux language over the InfluxDB 1.7+ provided by:

The last useful part is flux-dsl that helps construct Flux query by Query builder pattern:

Flux flux = Flux
    .from("telegraf")
    .window(15L, ChronoUnit.MINUTES, 20L, ChronoUnit.SECONDS)
    .sum();

How To Use

This clients are hosted in Maven central Repository.

If you want to use it with the Maven, you have to add only the dependency on the artifact.

InfluxDB 1.8 API compatibility

InfluxDB 1.8.0 introduced forward compatibility APIs for InfluxDB 2.x. This allow you to easily move from InfluxDB 1.x to InfluxDB 2.x Cloud or open source.

The following forward compatible APIs are available:

For detail info see InfluxDB 1.8 example.

            System.out.println(record.getTime() + ": " + record.getValue());

        }, error -> {

Build Requirements

• Java 17+ (tested with JDK 17)
  • :warning: If you want to use older version of JDK, you have to use the 6.x version of the client.
• Maven 3.0+ (tested with maven 3.5.0)
• Docker daemon running
• The latest InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB 1.X docker instances, which can be started using the ./scripts/influxdb-restart.sh script

Once these are in place you can build influxdb-client-java with all tests with:

$ mvn clean install

If you don't have Docker running locally, you can skip tests with the -DskipTests flag set to true:

$ mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

If you have Docker running, but it is not available over localhost (e.g. you are on a Mac and using docker-machine) you can set optional environment variables to point to the correct IP addresses and ports:

• INFLUXDB_IP
• INFLUXDB_PORT_API
• INFLUXDB_2_IP
• INFLUXDB_2_PORT_API

$ export INFLUXDB_IP=192.168.99.100
$ mvn test

If you would like to contribute code you can do through GitHub by forking the repository and sending a pull request into the master branch.
