title: Can an array be the value for an influxdb entry?
body: <p>I am trying to write an influxdb query such that a measurement looks like</p>
  
  <p><code>dummydata value=1,2,3,4</code></p>
  
  <p>and influxdb doesn't like this format.  I'm guessing influxdb cannot do this, but I can't find any documentation that says it cannot, nor do I see a feasible workaround.  I have to write 500 points per timestamp: it seems to me that 500 separate measurements per timestamp would get hairy quick.</p>
  
  <p>So:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Can influxdb accept an array/list as a value</li>
  <li>If not, is there a workaround</li>
  <li>Or is influxdb just the wrong tool for this job?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
