Is the query performance linear to the number of fields?

1

Hey guys,

Currently I am evaluating InfluxDB, and just have a question for the query performance: is the query performance linear to the number of query fields? Is there a way to avoid this?

The thing is usually we will have a few thousands sensors to collect time series data. For my current project, I need to query a lot of sensors for each query. To test this, I build a simple measurement with about 6k fields, each field has 86k points. I am using a script to generate a long SQL to query 2000 fields, which takes 90sec on my mac. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

@aaronk9 Query performance is linear to the number of fields returned. I would bet there is a way to optimize your query to return faster. Are you performing any aggregates on the data? Can you share your the approximate shape of your schema and the query you are running?
