<p>Inside TDengine shell, you can use the command "show streams" to list the ongoing continuous queries, the command "kill stream" to kill a specific continuous query. </p>
<p>If you drop a table generated by the continuous query, the query will be removed too.</p>
<p>Time series data is a sequence of data points over time. Inside a table, the data points are stored in order of timestamp. Also, there is a data retention policy, the data points will be removed once their lifetime is passed. From another view, a table in DTengine is just a standard message queue. </p>

<p>To reduce the development complexity and improve data consistency, TDengine provides the pub/sub functionality. To publish a message, you simply insert a record into a table. Compared with popular messaging tool Kafka, you subscribe to a table or a SQL query statement, instead of a topic. Once new data points arrive, TDengine will notify the application. The process is just like Kafka. </p>
<p>The detailed API will be introduced in the <ahref="https://www.taosdata.com/en/documentation/advanced-features/">connectors</a> section. </p>

<p>By this design, caching tool, like Redis, is not needed in the system. It will reduce the complexity of the system. </p>
<p>TDengine creates one or more virtual nodes(vnode) in each data node. Each vnode contains data for multiple tables and has its own buffer. The buffer of a vnode is fully separated from the buffer of another vnode, not shared. But the tables in a vnode share the same buffer. </p>
<p>System configuration parameter cacheBlockSize configures the cache block size in bytes, and another parameter cacheNumOfBlocks configures the number of cache blocks. The total memory for the buffer of a vnode is $cacheBlockSize \times cacheNumOfBlocks$. Another system parameter numOfBlocksPerMeter configures the maximum number of cache blocks a table can use. When you create a database, you can specify these parameters. </p><ahref='../index.html'>Back</a></section></main></div><?php include($s.'/footer.php'); ?><script>$('pre').addClass('prettyprint linenums');PR.prettyPrint()</script><script src='lib/docs/liner.js'></script></body></html>
