CLI - Write for GZIP

Open suyashcjoshi opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)?

Users want to write large amount of data specially when they export it out of InfluxDB v2 as gzip directly into InfluxDB v3 without decompressing the file.

Describe what you want. For the influxdb3 cli write, support ability to write gzip files as it exists for cloud serverless: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/cli/influx/write/#write-line-protocol-from-a-compressed-file

Describe other solutions or features you considered.

Other solution is to use HTTP endpoint as that supports gzip format to be written to InfluxDB v3

On hold for now, as we'll have work for migrations incoming. That will solve a problem this also solves, but won't do everything gzip solves, so keeping on the LTR.
