Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a project where I have to use the new Time Series collection of MongoDB, which has been working so far, but I’m curious about one aspect of it.
Currently I’m getting around a thousand new inserts every 10 minutes, but only around 5% of those inserts are actually different than their previous insert. Is it possible or practical within the Time Series collection to only insert the changed data, and not the unchanged data? I know that way of storing is possible, but how would one go over the querying and getting averages? Is there a way to fill in the “gaps”, which is essentially the document that comes before the requested timestamp, and all the timestamps in between.
Let me know if someone already has figured this out, thanks in advance!
