Enhancement: examples with line protocol could show use of all data types.

[karel-rehor]

Use Case

Users new to line protocol can run into gotcha's when using it for the first time. For example long/integer fields need to have a trailing "i" and string fields need to have values enclosed in quotes.

e.g.

birds,location=marsh value=49.935626,count=20i,species="duck"

If the measurement is created without the trailing "i" for count the field type in IOX will be float and not long. This can lead to schema conflict issues on later writes, for example when using Point instead of line protocol.

Expected behavior

Examples should at least provide hints for how to implement solutions that have special criteria in the line protocol language.

Actual behavior

The current Java example shows how to write only a field of type float.

            //
            // Write by LineProtocol
            //
            String record = "temperature,location=north value=60.0";
            client.writeRecord(record);
