- measurements ~ table
- fields are non-indexed columns
- If you are using a field & tag that are the same, use a different name eg fields: {class: 1, sn: 23434, cpu 0.232}, tags: {class:1} vs tags:{pclass:1} makes querying easier
- tags are indexed columns and should be used on columns that don't have lots of unique values make filtering faster (~10x)
- tune precision (seconds, minutes, etc)
- values default to int
- types are bool, int, float, str and after the first record the field to type mapping is set
