title: influxdb date format when entering/displaying data
body: <p>I wrote a <code>python</code> program to enter historical data into influxdb.</p>
  
  <p>Everything seems to be ok, but I am not sure if the time field is incorrect. The time is supposed to be YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM as integers.</p>
  
  <p>This is an example of the <code>json</code> that I am sending to <code>influxdb</code>,</p>
  
  <pre><code>[{'fields': {'High': 72.06, 'Close': 72.01, 'Volume': 6348, 'Open': 72.01, 'Low': 72.01}, 'tags': {'country': 'US', 'symbol': 'AAXJ', 'type': 'ETF', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ'}, 'time': datetime.dat
  e(2017, 9, 7, 15, 35), 'measurement': 'quote'}]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I query the data, I get a strange number for the time like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>time                Close    High    Low      Open   Volume country exchange symbol type
  ----                -----    ----    ---      ----   ------ ------- -------- ------ ----
  1504798500000000000 144.46   144.47  144.06   144.1  112200 US      NYSE     IBM    STOCK
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seems like either the <code>json</code> time format is wrong, or the number displayed by the query is an encoded date representation?</p>
