java.lang.RuntimeException: bad timestamp

[tecbea]

This code with the tag "host" it gives an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: bad timestamp
at org.influxdb.impl.InfluxDBErrorHandler.handleError(InfluxDBErrorHandler.java:19)

Point point1 = Point.measurement(metric)
                        .time(time, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .field("value", cnt)
                            .tag("host", host)
                            .tag("region", region)                          
                        .build();

If i just remote the tag("host", host), it works.

Influxdb 0.9
with java client 2.0-SNAPSHOT

Hi,

just wrote a small test for that:

        String dbName = "ticket38_" + System.currentTimeMillis();
        this.influxDB.setLogLevel(LogLevel.FULL);
        this.influxDB.createDatabase(dbName);
        Point point1 = Point
                .measurement("metric")
                .time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .field("value", 5)
                .tag("host", "host")
                .tag("region", "region")
                .build();
        this.influxDB.write(dbName, "default", point1);
        this.influxDB.deleteDatabase(dbName);

And i can not reproduce it, can you please add the
this.influxDB.setLogLevel(LogLevel.FULL);
and show me

• the output of the logs and what version of influxdb are you using

One note, is it possible that your value of the host tag includes a "-" or " " or any similar, not yet to known one of the characters which have to be escaped ?
because i do not escape tag values for the moment because for me its not clear at all how to.

try a region with spaces, you will get the error

    Point point1 = Point.measurement("metric")
            .time(System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
            .field("value", 5)
            .tag("host", "host")
            .tag("region", "region with spaces")
            .build();

You should reopen this.
Your sanitizing change (65c5281) only sanitizes the tag.value.
In my case I needed to sanitize the this.measurement as well as tag key/value and field key/values.
Also as well as replacing ' ' with '\ ' I also had to replace commas (in my place I replaced them with underscores).
I will try to read up on influxdb and their wire protocol and see what the correct approach is.

I hopefully covered all the escape issues with this last commit ( 82d32cb )

So please test with your code an report back.
