When a downstream server such as a proxy or loadbalancer between
influxdb and the client produces an error, the client currently does
not make this very obvious.
This change introduces checks on both the content type and the
influx version header to identify whether a request was served by
influxdb itself and returns a more appropriate error in the cases
where it can be determined a downstream issue is at play.
The v2 UDP client will attempt to split points that exceed the
configured payload size. It will only do this for points that have a
timestamp specified.
This makes error handling easier across clients and more consistent.
Also eliminates the need for users to parse their own URLs first,
because that doesn't even guarantee the URLs will be correct http URLs
Float values are not supported in the existing engine and the tsm1
engines. This changes NewPoint to return an error if a field value
contains a NaN field. It also allows us to validate fields to prevent
other unsupported types from sneaking in through other input plugins.
