to transform time series data application scenarios into IoTDB time series mode.</p><h2 id="_1-time-series-data-mode" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#_1-time-series-data-mode"><span>1. Time Series Data Mode</span></a></h2><p>Before designing an IoTDB data mode, it's essential to understand time series data and its underlying structure. For more details, refer to: <a class="route-link" href="/UserGuide/latest-Table/Background-knowledge/Navigating_Time_Series_Data.html">Time Series Data Mode</a></p><h2 id="_2-tree-table-twin-mode-in-iotdb" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#_2-tree-table-twin-mode-in-iotdb"><span>2. Tree-Table Twin Mode in IoTDB</span></a></h2><p>IoTDB offers tree-table twin mode, each with its distinct characteristics as follows:</p><p><strong>Tree Mode</strong>: It manages data points as objects, with each data point corresponding to a time series. The data point names, segmented by dots, form a tree-like directory structure that corresponds one-to-one with the physical world, making the read and write operations on data points straightforward and intuitive.</p><p><strong>Table Mode</strong>: It is recommended to create a table for each type of device. The collection of physical quantities from devices of the same type shares certain commonalities (such as the collection of temperature and humidity physical quantities), allowing for flexible and rich data analysis.</p><h3 id="_2-1-mode-characteristics" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#_2-1-mode-characteristics"><span>2.1 Mode Characteristics</span></a></h3><p>Tree-table twin mode syntaxes have their own applicable scenarios.</p><p>The following table compares the tree mode and the table mode from various dimensions, including applicable scenarios and typical operations. Users can choose the appropriate mode based on their specific usage requirements to achieve efficient data storage and management.</p><table style="text-align:center;"><tr><td>Dimension</td><td>Tree Mode</td><td>Table Mode</td></tr><tr><td>Applicable Scenarios</td><td>Measurements management, monitoring scenarios</td><td>Device management, analysis scenarios</td></tr><tr><td>Typical Operations</td><td>Read and write operations by specifying data point paths</td><td>Data filtering and analysis through tags</td></tr><tr><td>Structural Characteristics</td><td>Flexible addition and deletion, similar to a file system</td><td>Template-based management, facilitating data governance</td></tr><tr><td>Syntax Characteristics</td><td>Concise and flexible</td><td>Rich analysis</td></tr><tr><td>Performance Comparison</td><td colspan="2">Similar</td></tr></table><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><ul><li>Both mode spaces can coexist within the same cluster instance. Each mode follows distinct syntax and database naming conventions, and they remain isolated by default.</li></ul><h2 id="_2-2-model-selection" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#_2-2-model-selection"><span>2.2 Model Selection</span></a></h2><p>IoTDB supports model selection through various client tools.
