Batch-write historized time-series data to points via the Haystack hisWrite op
domain: project-haystack.org · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
For a single point, send a grid to the hisWrite op with grid meta id set to the point's Ref and rows of ts/val pairs to append
For a batch write across multiple points, omit the meta id and instead define multiple value columns (v0, v1, ...), each with column meta specifying its point's id, sharing a common ts column
Ensure every point in one batch request shares the same configured timezone, since batch hisWrite does not perform timezone conversion
Match each posted value's kind and unit exactly to the point's configured kind/unit - unit conversion is explicitly disallowed by the spec
Expect an empty grid response on success; servers must gracefully absorb any duplicate or out-of-order samples you resend
Known gotchas
A batch write across points with different timezones is rejected - split into separate per-timezone requests
Duplicate/out-of-order writes are tolerated server-side, but clients should still avoid relying on that as a sync strategy
hisWrite only appends historized samples - it does not change a point's live current value (use pointWrite for that)
