Add support for InfluxDB 0.9.0 #7

Open Glavin001 opened 9 years ago

Glavin001 commented 9 years ago

Support multiple (older) versions as well as 0.9?

Since the upgrading from 0.8 to 0.9 process is currently in progress, some users may still be using <= 0.8 until they are ready to upgrade. Should we support both? Or have a release point for the old, deprecated version that supports 0.8 and all future development is for 0.9?

Which methods to add

See https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/concepts/api.html

JSON protocol is deprecated. Let's use the Line Protocol

@Glavin001 thanks for opening this issue! All our time series servers are running on influxdb > 0.9.0. Therefore, from my perspective, there is no real need to support both. And as far as I know, the influx guys are also working on an upgrade path from 0.8 to 0.9. Thus, having a release point for the old one sounds to me quite fair. However, I can only speak for myself and would be interested what the others say. Cheers!

Once an upgrade path is developed for 0.8 to 0.9 then this is a moot point. Having a release point should be sufficient. I agree with you, let's focus on 0.9.0 compatibility.
