Enjoyed this post! Djk447 would love to ask a question as well.

We've started working with Timescale to process historical time series data. However there is so much of it that we chose which parts we process.

It's possible that in the future we may need to go back and reprocess the dataset to add something we decided we want after all.

In your post it seems like this is handled automatically on a smaller time scale, meaning you could insert into the past without doing anything special.

What happens if you need to insert data at numerous points across two years worth of data instead? Do you have to use backfilling as described in your documentation? Or is it better to maybe rebuild the entire hypertable?
