Errors when loading a batch of Continuous Queries

Store

When I start up influxdb, I try to load all my continuous queries in batches (in order to downsample the many metrics we have).

Originally I tried to POST one query with about 1,000 CREATE CONTINUOUS QUERY statements, and that would fail, so I started sending them in batches of 250, but still occasionally see a failure.

The failures do not happen at a consistent query number, and seem to be some back-pressure mechanism.

Q: Are there any best practices for loading many Continuous Queries?
Q: Is this a bug that influx doesn’t successfully handle all of the queries?

Here’s some of the influx responses from my latest run:

Batch 1 (success)

{
  "results" : [
    {
      "statement_id" : 0
    },
    {
      "statement_id" : 1
    },
    ...
    {
      "statement_id" : 248
    },
    {
      "statement_id" : 249
    }
  ]
}

Batch 2 (failure)

{
  "results" : [
    {
      "statement_id" : 0
    },
    {
      "statement_id" : 1
    },
    ...
    {
      "statement_id" : 220
    },
    {
      "statement_id" : 221
    },
    {
      "error" : "not executed",
      "statement_id" : 222
    }
  ]
}
