`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. |
