Hello Andrei,

thanks for the answer. It is good news that 1.5 will get the ODER BY and LIMIT 
functionality.
Unfortunately the current AVG implementation is not exactly what we are looking 
for. The current implementation will sum up all points in the time range and 
will it divide by the number of points. Currently Riak TS return 4.5 for my 
example. We are looking for an average which takes into account how long a 
value was persistent.

Kind Regards,
Jan Paulus

Betreff: Re: Query data with Riak TS

Hello Jan,

R​eplying to your questions inline:​​
​
 Hi,
we are testing Riak TS for our Application right now. I have a couple of 
question how to query the data. We are measuring electric power which comes in 
in odd time intervals.

1. Is it possible to query the value which has been received bevor at a given 
time? In other words: Get the current / last value of a series.

In Riak TS 1.4 (the latest release), you still have to specify the exact range 
​in the WHERE clause.  Because of that, if you are only interested in a single 
record that was added last before a certain time, you have to do some guesswork 
to arrive at the suitable boundaries.  Depending on the rate of data ingress, 
the selection returned may contain one, a few, too many, or no results at all.  
One workaround is to issue a sequence of SELECTs, starting from a small range, 
with the lower boundary of the range progressively moved back until you have 
the last record included (and hopefully not many previous records which you are 
going to discard anyway).

In 1.5, we will support ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses which will allow a much 
simpler solution, e.g.:

 SELECT value FROM table
 WHERE time > 0 AND time < $now
 ORDER BY value DESC LIMIT 1

2. Is it possible to query the average in respect to time?
For instance you have such a measurement reading:
time    | value
-----------------
09:31   |  4
10:02   |  6
10:05   |  3
And you want to query the average from 10:00 to 10:10. I would expect a value 
of 4.1
4 * 20% + 6 * 30% + 3 * 50% = 4.1

​It is definitely possible:​

 ⁠⁠⁠⁠SELECT AVG(val
​ue​
) FROM
​table
​
 WHERE time >
​=​
​'​2016-11-22
10
​:00'​
AND time <
​'2016-11-22 ​
​10:10'​

​Note that you can specify timestamp values in ISO8601 format: 
http://docs.basho.com/riak/ts/1.4.0/using/timerepresentations

​
3. Is it possible to query 15 minutes average values for the last day? I would 
expect 96 values with the average as described in question 2.

No, you will have to issue 96 separate queries, each similar to the one in (2) 
but with a different 15-min range.​


Thanks a lot.
Jan Paulus
