Automated split of large number of points into smaller chunks

[powersj]

In Python 2.x client library: Automated split of large number of points into smaller chunks where minimal chunk size is user-defined batch size, for synchronous WriteAPI.

@bednar I've converted this into an issue so we can track our conversation about this.

I am still not convinced that this makes sense doing. The current library has batching already. We even have an example that shows using the rx library to do sync writes with batching as well. Having compatibility with the previous library is not necessary something we guarantee. I am inclined to close this as won't fix.

Thoughts?

@powersj the main reason for this is simplify the usage of client for python beginners.

The import_data_set_sync_batching.py example works well but from my POV something like following code will be pretty useful:

write_api = client.write_api(write_options=WriteOptions(write_type=WriteType.synchronous, batch_size=5_000))

try:
    write_api.write(bucket='my-bucket', record=csv_to_generator('vix-daily.csv'))
except ApiException as e:
    print(f"Something is wrong: {e}")

I am inclined to close this as won't fix.

We can do it that way and refer users to import_data_set_sync_batching.py
