Batch write multiple points

See original GitHub issue

Influx supports writing multiple points at once and we would probably get much better performance with such batching.

I think the easiest is to rewrite writePoint so that it can take an array of points. The code should not be much different.

You can provide an array of points to .writePoints… https://node-influx.github.io/class/src/index.js~InfluxDB.html#instance-method-writePoints

@bencevans thank you for the support, but now it works as expected. The error message *.forEach is not a function was just a little confusing to me, i did not pass the data in the right format.

After adjusting the points data to objects inside an array (not nested arrays) and adjusting the schema for it, it batch writes to influxdb. As expected this is a lot faster.

Edit: btw. I had to set max-body-size = 0 in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf to prevent the error 413 request entity too large error
