Hi all.
I’d like to verify/validate the following statement:
with regards to time series data…

It does introduce a concept that needs to be consider, every record is primarily comprised out of 3 components.

- timestamp of the event
- metadata about the event
    this can be a array of key/value pairs.
- measurement/value of the event

   {
	  "timestamp" : "2024-09-27T20:23:14.869Z",
	  "metadata" : {
		"siteId" : 1009,
		"deviceId" : 1042,
		"sensorId" : 10180,
		"unit" : "Psi"
	  },
	  "measurement" : 1015.3997
	}

Would everyone agree that this is correct,
For me a a record/payload that have multiple key’s with measurement/values is not a time series specific record, it falls under data that sits better in a normal collection.

guess this is also a valid structure.

{
  timestamp: 2024-10-01T02:00:00.000Z,
  metadata: {
    deviceId: 1002,
    sensorId: 90005,
    siteId: 1001,
    unit: 'celcius'
  },
  symbol: 'BTC-USD',
  price: 34104.1145,
  measurement: 12
}

implying multiple values for the time stamp and the metadata set provided.
