Hi, 

It seems that the old issue might have surfaced again (#3349) in v1.0.

I tried to insert a large number of records (3913595) via a script, inserting 
10000 rows at a time. 

After a while I received 

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: application/json
Request-Id: ac8ebbbe-8f70-11e6-8ce7-000000000000
X-Influxdb-Version: 1.0.0
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 05:12:02 GMT
Content-Length: 20

{"error":"timeout"}
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

I killed the process, after which the whole box became pretty much unresponsive.

There is nothing in the logs (i.e. sudo ls /var/log/influxdb/ gives me nothing) 
although the setting for http logging is true:

[http]
  enabled = true
  bind-address = ":8086"
  auth-enabled = true
  log-enabled = true

I tried to restart influx, but got the following error:

Failed to connect to http://localhost:8086
Please check your connection settings and ensure 'influxd' is running.

Although I can see that influxd is up an running:

> systemctl | grep influx
influxdb.service                                                                
          loaded active running   InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time 
series database

What do I do now? 

I tried the same import over the weekend, then the script timeout happened 
eventually but the result was the same unresponsive, unusable server. We 
rebuilt the box and started again.

Perhaps it is worthwhile mentioning that the same measurement already contained 
about 9 million records. Some of these records had the same timestamp as the 
ones I tried to import, i.e. they should have been merged.

Interestingly enough the same amount of data was fine when I forgot to add 
precision in ms, i.e. all records were imported as nanoseconds, but in fact 
they "lacked" 6 zeroes.

Please advise what kind of action I can take.

Thanks a lot!
Tanya
