interpolate fails if there are string fields

sayu-agiliad opened this issue · 1 comments

Influx allows for "fields" of type "string" especially when using telegraf json parser with json_string_fields,
However when I try to use interpolate on such a measurement, I get the below error
" runtime error @6:6-6:35: linear: cannot interpolate string values; expected float values"

It would be helpful if interpolated string fields behave like "fill" and get the last value.
