| **commentPrefix** | String prefix to identify a comment. Always added to annotations. | `#` |
### Annotations
## Annotations
Annotation rows describe column properties, and start with `#` (or commentPrefix value).
The first column in an annotation row always contains the annotation name.
Subsequent columns contain annotation values as shown in the table below.
| Annotation name | Values | Description |
|:-------- |:--------- | :------- |
| **datatype** | a [valid data type](#valid-data-types) | Describes the type of data. |
| **group** | boolean flag `true` or `false` | Indicates the column is part of the group key. |
| **default** | a [valid data type](#valid-data-types) | Value to use for rows with an empty string value. |

To encode a table with its group key, the `datatype`, `group`, and `default` annotations must be included. If a table has no rows, the `default` annotation provides the group key values.

### Valid data types
### Annotated CSV with linepart annotations
The `linepart` annotation tells the [`influx write` command](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/write/)
how to parse the annotated CSV into line protocol when writing to InfluxDB.
| Datatype | Flux type | Description |
| :-------- | :--------- | :---------- |
| boolean | bool | a truth value, one of "true" or "false" |
| unsignedLong | uint | an unsigned 64-bit integer |
| long | int | a signed 64-bit integer |
| double | float | an IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point number |
| string | string | a UTF-8 encoded string |
| base64Binary | bytes | a base64 encoded sequence of bytes as defined in RFC 4648 |
| dateTime | time | an instant in time, may be followed with a colon : and a description of the format |
| duration | duration | a length of time represented as an unsigned 64-bit integer number of nanoseconds |

#### Line protocol and linepart annotations
| Linepart key | Description |
|:------------ |:----------- |
| `measurement` | column value parsed as the measurement |
| `field` (default) | column header parsed as field key, column value parsed as field value |
| `tag` | column header parsed as tag key, column value parsed as tag value |
| `time` | column value parsed as timestamp |
| `ignore` or`ignored` | column is not included in line protocol |
##### Example linepart annotations
```
#linepart measurement,tag,tag,field,field,ignored,time
m,cpu,host,time_steal,usage_user,nothing,time
cpu,cpu1,host1,0,2.7,a,1482669077000000000
cpu,cpu1,host2,0,2.2,b,1482669087000000000
```
Resulting line protocol:
```
cpu,cpu=cpu1,host=host1 time_steal=0,usage_user=2.7 1482669077000000000
cpu,cpu=cpu1,host=host1 time_steal=0,usage_user=2.2 1482669087000000000
