Even though this thread seems to be quite old, I want to add my findings since I have experienced similar problems. When I try to import larger line protocol files, I get strange error messages (as with test0and1.line.txt). The error disappears if I split the file into two files (test0.line.txt, test1.line.txt) and import both files independently.
I use this command to import the files:
influx write --bucket test2 --file "test0and1.line.txt" --rate-limit "1MB/s" --debug --skipRowOnError --errors-file errors.txt --format=lp
Actually I wanted to upload 3 example files but as a new user I’m not allowed to do it. Therefore I created 3 pastebins:
- test0.line.txt: test0.line.txt - Pastebin.com
- test1.line.txt: test1.line.txt - Pastebin.com
- test0and1.line.txt: https:// pastebin .com/DcjBzGA5
What might be interesting is that the smaller files (that are working well) are all below 4.098bytes in size. If I add just one more character/digit to the file, I get an error like this:
2024/01/10 15:28:11 invalid point on line 77: unable to parse '0': missing fields
0 is the first character behind the 4098 byte - if I change that to 1, the error message changes accordingly! So to me it seems that all files with 4099 bytes or more are just not properly parsed and the error is completely independend of the actual content of the file.
Can anybody confirm this? How can we proceed with this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Michael
