             Summary: Tag aggregation
                 Key: IOTDB-3784
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IOTDB-3784
             Project: Apache IoTDB
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core/Query
            Reporter: Zhong Wang


Tags and levels of a path represent some dimensions of a timeseries. While the 
levels are anonymous, tags has the tag key as their name. Since the path of a 
timeseries is hard to change once it is created, tags are more flexible and can 
be added or dropped easily.

IoTDB now supports level aggregation. But tags are used only to filter out 
timeseries in  `SHOW TIMESERIES` statement, and that's why tags are not widely 
used.

Supporting tag aggregation allows users to store the dimensions as tags and 
provides the ability to do complex analysis over their timeseries data.
