Snapshot summary built from the project's own GitHub metadata — there's no written TopGit review yet. The page will update automatically when a full review is published.
WHY NO REVIEW YET
TopGit writes full reviews for the most-starred, most-requested repositories. This page is a snapshot until then — see the READ ME tab for the original README in full.
This is the official (and community-maintained) Java client library for InfluxDB (1.x), the open source time series database that is part of the TICK (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf, Kapacitor) stack.
For InfluxDB 3.0 users, this library is succeeded by the lightweight v3 client library.
Note: This library is for use with InfluxDB 1.x and 2.x compatibility API. For full supports of InfluxDB 2.x features, please use the influxdb-client-java client.
Adding the library to your project
The library artifact is published in Maven central, available at https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.influxdb/influxdb-java.
Influx Query Language (InfluxQL), with support for bind parameters (similar to JDBC PreparedStatement parameters);
it's own QueryBuilder, as you would do with e.g. EclipseLink or Hibernate;
Message Pack (requires InfluxDB 1.4+);
Writing data using:
Data Point (an object provided by this library that represents a ... data point);
Your own POJO (you need to add a few Java Annotations);
InfluxDB line protocol (for the braves only);
UDP, as supported by InfluxDB;
Support synchronous and asynchronous writes;
Batch support configurable with jitter interval, buffer size and flush interval.
Quick start
// Create an object to handle the communication with InfluxDB.
// (best practice tip: reuse the 'influxDB' instance when possible)
final String serverURL = "http://127.0.0.1:8086", username = "root", password = "root";
final InfluxDB influxDB = InfluxDBFactory.connect(serverURL, username, password);
// Create a database...
// https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/query_language/database_management/
String databaseName = "NOAA_water_database";
influxDB.query(new Query("CREATE DATABASE " + databaseName));
influxDB.setDatabase(databaseName);
// ... and a retention policy, if necessary.
// https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/query_language/database_management/
String retentionPolicyName = "one_day_only";
influxDB.query(new Query("CREATE RETENTION POLICY " + retentionPolicyName
+ " ON " + databaseName + " DURATION 1d REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT"));
influxDB.setRetentionPolicy(retentionPolicyName);
// Enable batch writes to get better performance.
influxDB.enableBatch(
BatchOptions.DEFAULTS
.threadFactory(runnable -> {
Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
thread.setDaemon(true);
return thread;
})
);
// Close it if your application is terminating or you are not using it anymore.
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(influxDB::close));
// Write points to InfluxDB.
influxDB.write(Point.measurement("h2o_feet")
.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.tag("location", "santa_monica")
.addField("level description", "below 3 feet")
.addField("water_level", 2.064d)
.build());
influxDB.write(Point.measurement("h2o_feet")
.time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.tag("location", "coyote_creek")
.addField("level description", "between 6 and 9 feet")
.addField("water_level", 8.12d)
.build());
// Wait a few seconds in order to let the InfluxDB client
// write your points asynchronously (note: you can adjust the
// internal time interval if you need via 'enableBatch' call).
Thread.sleep(5_000L);
// Query your data using InfluxQL.
// https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/query_language/data_exploration/#the-basic-select-statement
QueryResult queryResult = influxDB.query(new Query("SELECT * FROM h2o_feet"));
System.out.println(queryResult);
// It will print something like:
// QueryResult [results=[Result [series=[Series [name=h2o_feet, tags=null,
// columns=[time, level description, location, water_level],
// values=[
// [2020-03-22T20:50:12.929Z, below 3 feet, santa_monica, 2.064],
// [2020-03-22T20:50:12.929Z, between 6 and 9 feet, coyote_creek, 8.12]
// ]]], error=null]], error=null]
