Please review continuous queries

[wildchild]

There are just 2 tests for CQ: create and show https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/cmd/influxd/server_integration_test.go#L1260

A lot of pending issues for such core feature indicates that CQ is far from being usable. Please cover at least querying and deletion. I can't get select from measurement created by CQ working, so I can't write it myself. Docs are outdated, creation how it's described in docs does not work at all.

@wildchild CQs were unhooked for a significant part of 0.9.0 development. They have only recently been re-enabled and there is a lot of known work to cover before they are back to parity or better than 0.8.8, documentation included.

Just wanted to +1 this, as I'm unsuccessfully trying to apply "old style" continuous queries from 0.8.8 to my 0.9.0 DB and I'm not sure what the correct syntax is here. Thanks!

@mbaron007 CQ's are unusable at this moment in 0.9. However if you want to check the syntax to create them you should use the Influxql(https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/influxql/INFLUXQL.md) as a reference

@marcosnils Great, thanks! Just to clarify: even if I construct and submit a continuous query to my 0.9 DB, you'er saying I currently shouldn't expect that to work, correct? Thanks again.

[marcosnils]

Exactly. They most likely don't work

This is almost certainly fixed by #2552, which is included in RC30.
