# Examples
Input series:
+-----------------------------+---------------+
| Time|root.test.d3.s1|
+-----------------------------+---------------+
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.001+08:00| 1.0|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.002+08:00| 2.0|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.003+08:00| 3.0|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.004+08:00| 1.0|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.005+08:00| 2.0|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.006+08:00| 3.0|

|1970-01-01T08:00:00.009+08:00| 3.0|
+-----------------------------+---------------+
SQL for query:
select period(s1) from root.test.d3
Output series:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
| Time|period(root.test.d3.s1)|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.000+08:00| 3|
