Hello,  
I’m in need of help with a query that has been working fine for months but then suddenly stopped.  
I’m running Influx 1.8 with a “influxdb-client-java” connector. Thus I’m limited to Flux as a query language, A query I had working is:

> import “influxdata/influxdb/v1”  
> v1.measurementTagValues(bucket: “mydb/autogen”, measurement: “marketData”, tag: “symbol” )

Data is still there is I query the database with

> show tag values from marketData with key=“symbol”

But Flux query returns empty. What could go wrong ? Direction to investigate

Hey! Thanks for attention to the matter.  
I did some more research and found that  
function “v1.measurementTagValues” is essentially

> tagValues(  
> bucket: bucket,  
> tag: tag,  
> predicate: (r) =\> r.\_measurement == measurement  
> )

“start” param is omitted and seems to default to “-30d”, So I have changed to a call

> import “influxdata/influxdb/v1”  
> v1.tagValues(  
> bucket: “mydb/autogen”,  
> tag: “symbol”,  
> predicate: (r) =\> r.\_measurement == “marketData”,  
> start: -10y)

That worked like a charm, looks like “v1.measurementTagValues” isn’t designed for older measurements but seems wrong and unexpected.  
Anyways, would you like to get a ticket for this issue still ?
