Need ability to explicitly define int field values passed to #write_point(s) about influxdb-ruby

[dmke]

I've run into the same issue. Based on the suggestion by @jimryan, I currently use this workaround:

class InfluxDB::Int64 < Struct.new(:to_i)
  def to_s
    "#{to_i}i"
  end

  alias inspect to_s
end

def int64(value)
  InfluxDB::Int64.new value.to_i
end

# ...

client.write_point series: "foo", values: { bar: int64(42) } 

But I'm all for a generic "i" suffix for Integers. This would be consistent with the other official client implementations:

• Python
• PHP
• Java

This should be fixed now with #131, which I just merged. Let me know if additional support is needed. Thanks!
