```go

// keyBuffer and dataBuffer have to be recreated since we are
// batching the writes, otherwise new writes will override the
// old writes that are still in memory
keyBuffer := bytes.NewBuffer(make([]byte, 0, 24))
dataBuffer := proto.NewBuffer(nil)
var err error

binary.Write(keyBuffer, binary.BigEndian, &id)
timestamp := self.convertTimestampToUint(point.GetTimestampInMicroseconds())
// pass the uint64 by reference so binary.Write() doesn't create a new buffer
// see the source code for intDataSize() in binary.go
binary.Write(keyBuffer, binary.BigEndian, ×tamp)
binary.Write(keyBuffer, binary.BigEndian, point.SequenceNumber)
pointKey := keyBuffer.Bytes()
