- `INTERP` is used to get the value that matches the specified time slice from a column. If no such value exists an interpolation value will be returned based on `FILL` parameter.
- The input data of `INTERP` is the value of the specified column and a `where` clause can be used to filter the original data. If no `where` condition is specified then all original data is the input.
- `INTERP` must be used along with `RANGE`, `EVERY`, `FILL` keywords.
- The output time range of `INTERP` is specified by `RANGE(timestamp1,timestamp2)` parameter, with timestamp1 < timestamp2. timestamp1 is the starting point of the output time range and must be specified. timestamp2 is the ending point of the output time range and must be specified.
- The output time range of `INTERP` is specified by `RANGE(timestamp1,timestamp2)` parameter, with timestamp1 <= timestamp2. timestamp1 is the starting point of the output time range and must be specified. timestamp2 is the ending point of the output time range and must be specified.
- The number of rows in the result set of `INTERP` is determined by the parameter `EVERY(time_unit)`. Starting from timestamp1, one interpolation is performed for every time interval specified `time_unit` parameter. The parameter `time_unit` must be an integer, with no quotes, with a time unit of: a(millisecond)), s(second), m(minute), h(hour), d(day), or w(week). For example, `EVERY(500a)` will interpolate every 500 milliseconds.
- Interpolation is performed based on `FILL` parameter. For more information about FILL clause, see [FILL Clause](./distinguished/#fill-clause).
- Interpolation is performed based on `FILL` parameter. For more information about FILL clause, see [FILL Clause](../distinguished/#fill-clause).
- `INTERP` can only be used to interpolate in single timeline. So it must be used with `partition by tbname` when it's used on a STable.
- Pseudocolumn `_irowts` can be used along with `INTERP` to return the timestamps associated with interpolation points(support after version 3.0.1.4).
- Pseudocolumn `_isfilled` can be used along with `INTERP` to indicate whether the results are original records or data points generated by interpolation algorithm(support after version 3.0.2.3).
