So something I keep stumbling across in various places is other
people/applications/whatever writing points with different field schemes to one
measurement.
For example:
foo,bartag=barval aaa=111i,bbb=222i,ccc=333i
foo,baztag=bazval ddd=444i,eee=555i,fff=666i
So that when you do a query like `select * from foo` you get:
name: foo
time aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff mytag

2017-02-03T19:50:38.132224142Z 444 555 666 baz
This to me feels like a bad idea. I'm not sure how InfluxDB internally stores
and manages the data, but I would think that within a measurement, all your
points should use the same set of fields. And that if you have points with
different field schemes, they should be in a different measurement.
Is there really any problem here? Aside from just the user experience aspect of
having to deal with a bunch of empty fields on a lot of the points?
Would the answer to this question change if the above example had the same tag
names on both points? Or the same tag names and same tag values?
