Description
A community user is struggling with overwriting data points. We should provide guide for how to do this.
- Each data point is uniquely identified by its timestamp, tag set, and field key. To overwrite a point, you must provide an updated point with a matching timestamp, tag set, and field key.
- You cannot change the field type in the overwrite process. This will result in a type conflict. The only way to change the field type is to write updated data to a new bucket and delete the old bucket.
