rc28 panic -- interface conversion: interface is string, not float64

[ecables]

Perhaps I'm doing something silly, but a simple sum() or mean() query against a measurement's values is causing a panic in rc28. I have the full panic output, if that's of interest.

The following query works fine:
SELECT value FROM output_bps limit 5;
time value
2015-04-28T15:56:02Z 837367639
2015-04-28T15:56:02Z 269102821
2015-04-28T15:56:02Z 393390752
2015-04-28T15:56:02Z 169437859
2015-04-28T15:56:02Z 1067908009

If I issue a sum(value) for the same query above, influx panics, and crashes.

Example:
SELECT sum(value) FROM output_bps limit 5;

Error in influxd.log:
panic: interface conversion: interface is string, not float64
<followed by 1,000 lines of debug output>

i'm going to bet that you inserted "value": "837367639" rather than "value": 837367639. can you possibly show the JSON response of SELECT value FROM output_bps limit 5?

Please be sure not to quote your numeric values when sending them into InfluxDB as they will then be interpreted as string.
