Bulk Insert: How to Append Time Series

BulkInsert.TimeSeriesFor

public TimeSeriesBulkInsert TimeSeriesFor(string id, string name)

There are two TimeSeriesFor.Append overloads:

// Each appended entry has a single value.
public void Append(DateTime timestamp, double value, string tag = null)

// Each appended entry has multiple values.
public void Append(DateTime timestamp, 
    ICollection<double> values, string tag = null)

• Document ID
• Time series name

• The entry's Timestamp
• The entry's Value or Values
• The entry's Tag (optional)

In this sample, we append two entries to a time series.

// Use BulkInsert to append 2 time-series entries
using (BulkInsertOperation bulkInsert = store.BulkInsert())
{
    using (TimeSeriesBulkInsert timeSeriesBulkInsert = bulkInsert.TimeSeriesFor(documentId, "HeartRates"))
    {
        timeSeriesBulkInsert.Append(baseline.AddMinutes(2), 61d, "watches/fitbit");
        timeSeriesBulkInsert.Append(baseline.AddMinutes(3), 62d, "watches/apple-watch");
    }
}

In this sample, we append a hundred entries to a time series.

// Use BulkInsert to append 100 time-series entries
using (BulkInsertOperation bulkInsert = store.BulkInsert())
{
    using (TimeSeriesBulkInsert timeSeriesBulkInsert = bulkInsert.TimeSeriesFor(documentId, "HeartRates"))
    {
        for (int minute = 0; minute < 100; minute++)
        {
            timeSeriesBulkInsert.Append(baseline.AddMinutes(minute), new double[] { 80d }, "watches/fitbit");
        }
    }
}

In this sample, we append two sets of values to a time series.

// Use BulkInsert to append 2 sets of time series entries
using (BulkInsertOperation bulkInsert = store.BulkInsert())
{

    ICollection<double> ExerciseHeartRate = new List<double>
    { 89d, 82d, 85d };

    ICollection<double> RestingHeartRate = new List<double>
    {59d, 63d, 61d, 64d, 64d, 65d };

    using (TimeSeriesBulkInsert timeSeriesBulkInsert = bulkInsert.TimeSeriesFor(documentId, "HeartRate"))
    {
        timeSeriesBulkInsert.Append(baseline.AddMinutes(2), ExerciseHeartRate, "watches/fitbit");
        timeSeriesBulkInsert.Append(baseline.AddMinutes(3), RestingHeartRate, "watches/apple-watch");
    }
}
