seen one measurement which has garbage values
```
> show field keys from /.*I.*/
name: ����?I[O��QJ3�:���E��Qv��:L�Q

__Performance:__
Generate profiles with the following commands for bugs related to performance, locking, out of memory (OOM), etc.

```sh
# Commands should be run when the bug is actively happening.
# Note: This command will run for ~30 seconds.
curl -o profiles.tar.gz "http://localhost:8086/debug/pprof/all?cpu=30s"
iostat -xd 1 30 > iostat.txt
# Attach the `profiles.tar.gz` and `iostat.txt` output files.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed `show measurements`, `show field keys from /.*I.*/`, and `show tag keys from /.*I.*/` commands against InfluxDB v1.8.4 on Linux. Read the surrounding database and query behavior after confirming the garbage measurement; done means the same data no longer produces an unreadable measurement name and the behavior is covered by a reproducible check.
