This command creates the `meters` supertable in the `test` database. In the `meters` supertable, it then creates 10,000 subtables named `d0` to `d9999`. Each table has 10,000 rows and each row has four columns: `ts`, `current`, `voltage`, and `phase`. The timestamps of the data in these columns range from 2017-07-14 10:40:00 000 to 2017-07-14 10:40:09 999.
