Is there a current method to alter the values of a tag? Currently, I query the measurement, store the data locally, drop the series, push the data back with a new tag value. This is an extremely expensive operation when there are millions of data points. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
Example: > SELECT * FROM test name: test ---------- time pv value 1474328511474971500 changeme 2 > INSERT test,pv=changed value=2 1474328511474971500 > DROP SERIES FROM test WHERE pv='changeme' > SELECT * FROM test name: test ---------- time pv value 1474328511474971500 changed 2 Is there a way to utilise 'INTO' for this operation? > SELECT value INTO "test,pv=changedbyinsert" FROM test WHERE pv='changeme' >From the API docs, this creates a new measurement called 'test,pv=changedbyinsert'. Is it possible to SELECT ... INTO the same measurement but a different SERIES? Then, I can simply drop the old series. No large network traffic. This is not a feature request, nor is it critical to a project I'm working on. I'm just curious. However, this would be extremely useful for the case of individuals poorly inserting into the database. That data will still be important, but the tags may be messed up.
