Manage time series through the wire listener

You can create and manage time series through the wire listener. You interact with time series data through a virtual table.

You can create, load, and query time series through the MongoDB API. Because you act on a virtual table, the TimeSeries row type does not need to contain a BSON column.

The following restrictions apply when you create a time series through the wire listener:

  • You cannot define hertz or compressed time series.
  • You cannot define rolling window containers.
  • You cannot load time series data through a loader program. You must load time series data through a virtual table.
  • You cannot run time series SQL routines or methods from the time series Java™ class library. You operate on the data through a virtual table.
