[Request] Enable point batching by default

[jackzampolin]

InfluxDB is significantly more performant when points are written in batches. Making the default behavior of the client point batching should help increase performance for people unfamiliar with InfluxDB.

@majst01, Please consider making the following setting enabled by default:

# Enabled by default
influxDB.enableBatch(2000, 100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

# Disable batching
influxDB.disableBatching();

# Change batching config
influxDB.configureBatching(10000, 200, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

We will leave the decision to the developer, as he understands exactly how to act on the data.

[jackzampolin]

Writing many small requests is a common performance issue that new users run into. Enabling batching by default will eliminate these issues for new users. Please reconsider changing the defaults.

[majst01]

And what should be sensible defaults for amount, time, and so forth

[jackzampolin]

I think the following would be sensible defaults.

pointsPerBatch: 2000
batchTime: 1s

[majst01]

Ok, but if someone wants different settings, what would be the workflow ? stop the already running batchprocessor and create a new one with the desired settings.
Im still against this idea

@jackzampolin agree with @majst01, every developer should set their batch parameter. if provide batch used hard code parameters, it may cause issue not easy to be found. So I also think this issue should be closed. WDTY?

[majst01]

As i already said, this is the wrong idea.
