I set out to convert a stream of json objects that are plumbed to my shiny new influxdb 9.0 cluster and reached for my favorite tool: heka.
Influxdb 9.0 RC32 and later want a new line protocol specific to Influx. I as thinking that I would keep the original json format around until the last hop before writing to influx as a useful data exposition format that other tools could read ie. heka and friends of heka. Given that the new line protocol needs string representations of numbers to infer types, lua is really screwing me here: > print(cjson.encode(6.0)) 6 Influx won't take a row that was originally typed as a float if it sees an integer next. Any suggestions?
