The result is that InfluxDB is not a full CRUD database but more like a CR-ud,
prioritizing the performance of creating and reading data over update and destroy,
and preventing some update and destroy behaviors to make create and read more performant.
For more information on why InfluxDB made these architectural decisions [Paul Dix](https://github.com/pauldix)
has an excellent [blog post](https://influxdata.com/blog/influxdb-clustering-design-neither-strictly-cp-or-ap/)
with more explanation.

1. No one point is too important.
* *Pro:* InfluxDB has very powerful tools to deal with aggregate data and large data sets
* *Con:* Points don't have IDs in the traditional sense, they are differentiated by timestamp and series

## Querying outside the min/max time range
Queries with a time range that exceeds the minimum or maximum timestamps valid for InfluxDB currently return no results, rather than an error message.

Smallest valid timestamp: `-9023372036854775808` (approximately `1684-01-22T14:50:02Z`)

## Querying a time range that spans epoch 0
Currently, InfluxDB can return results for queries that cover either the time range before epoch 0 or the time range after epoch 0, not both.
A query with a time range that spans epoch 0 returns partial results.

Values close to but within those limits may lead to unexpected results; some functions and operators convert the int64 data type to float64 during calculation which can cause overflow issues.

In InfluxDB, epoch 0 (`1970-01-01T00:00:00Z`) is often used as a null timestamp equivalent.
If you request a query that has no timestamp to return, such as an aggregation function with an unbounded time range, InfluxDB returns epoch 0 as the timestamp.

## Getting large query returns in batches when using the HTTP API
InfluxDB returns large query results in batches of 10,000 points unless you use the query string parameter `chunk_size` to explicitly set the batch size.
