influx-tools import

The import tool consumes binary data produced by influx-tools export -format binary to write data directly to disk possibly under a new retention policy. This tool handles the binary format only - exports of line protocol data should be handled using the existing endpoints. Influx should be offline while this tool is run.

If the target retention policy already exists, the tool will error out if you attempt to change the retention policy settings. However, it is possible to replace on disk shards with the -replace option.
