If we want to analyze the relation between the wind speed and the generated energy, we have to know the values of both at the same time. That is to say, we have to align the two time series in the time dimension.</p><p>So, the result should be:</p><table><thead><tr><th>timestamp</th><th>wind speed</th><th>generated energy</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>5.0</td><td>13.1</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>6.0</td><td>13.3</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>null</td><td>13.1</td></tr></tbody></table><p>or,</p><table><thead><tr><th>timestamp</th><th>series name</th><th>value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>wind speed</td><td>5.0</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>generated energy</td><td>13.1</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>wind speed</td><td>6.0</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>generated energy</td><td>13.3</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>generated energy</td><td>13.1</td></tr></tbody></table></li>",1),D=a('<p>Though the second table format does not align data by the time dimension, it is easy to be implemented in the client-side, by just scanning data row by row.</p><p>IoTDB supports the first table format (called align by time), InfluxDB supports the second table format.</p><ul><li><p>Downsampling:</p><p>Downsampling is for changing the granularity of timeseries, e.g., from 10Hz to 1Hz, or 1 point per day.</p><p>Different from other systems, IoTDB downsamples data in real time, while others serialized downsampled data on disk.<br> That is to say,</p><ul><li><p>IoTDB supports <strong>adhoc</strong> downsampling data in <strong>arbitrary time</strong>. e.g., a SQL returns 1 point per 5 minutes and start with 2020-04-27 08:00:00 while another SQL returns 1 point per 5 minutes + 10 seconds and start with 2020-04-27 08:00:01. （InfluxDB also supports adhoc downsampling but the performance is ..... hm)</p></li><li><p>There is no disk loss for IoTDB.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Fill:</p><p>Sometimes we thought the data is collected in some fixed frequency, e.g., 1Hz (1 point per second). But usually, we may lost some data points, because the network is unstable, the machine is busy, or the machine is down for several minutes.</p><p>In this case, filling these holes is important. Data scientists can avoid many so called dirty work, e.g., data clean.</p><p>InfluxDB and OpenTSDB only support using fill in a group by statement, while IoTDB supports to fill data when just given a particular timestamp. Besides, IoTDB supports several strategies for filling data.</p></li><li><p>Slimit:</p><p>Slimit means return limited number of measurements (or, fields in InfluxDB). For example, a wind turbine may have 1000 measurements (speed, voltage, etc..), using slimit and soffset can just return a part of them.</p></li><li><p>Latest value:</p><p>As one of the most basic timeseries based applications is monitoring the latest data. Therefore, a query to return the latest value of a time series is very important. IoTDB and OpenTSDB support that with a special SQL or API, while InfluxDB supports that using an aggregation function. (the reason why IoTDB provides a special SQL is IoTDB optimizes the query expressly.)</p></li></ul><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>:</p><p>Well, if we compare the basic features, we can find that OpenTSDB and KairosDB somehow lack some important query features. TimescaleDB can not be freely used in business.

IoTDB has the minimal write latency. The larger the batch size, the higher the write throughput of IoTDB. This indicates that IoTDB is most suitable for batch data writing scenarios. In high concurrency scenarios, IoTDB can also maintain a steady growth in throughput. (12 million points per second may have reached the limit of gigabit network card) In raw data query, as the query scope increases, the advantages of IoTDB begin to manifest. Because the granularity of data blocks is larger and the advantages of columnar storage are used, column-based compression and columnar iterators will both accelerate the query. In aggregation query, we use the statistics of the file layer and cache the statistics. Therefore, multiple queries only need to perform memory calculations (do not need to traverse the original data points, and do not need to access the disk), so the aggregation performance advantage is obvious. Downsampling query scenarios is more interesting, as the time partition becomes larger and larger, the query performance of IoTDB increases gradually. Probably it has risen twice, which corresponds to the pre-calculated information of 2 granularities(3 hours and 4.5 days). Therefore, the queries in the range of 1 day and 1 week are accelerated respectively. The other databases only rose once, indicating that they only have one granular statistics.</p><p>If you are considering a TSDB for your IIoT application, Apache IoTDB, a new time series database, is your best choice.</p><p>We will update this page once we release new version and finish the experiments. We also welcome more contributors correct this article and contribute IoTDB and reproduce experiments.</p>',7);function O(q,F){const n=s("ExternalLinkIcon");return o(),d("div",null,[l(`
