AWS Timestream - Delete/Mutate record

Question

I'm using boto3/python to try and update a record via 'write_records(...)'.  In response I get 'A record already exists with the same time, dimensions, and measure name. Updating measure value is not supported.'  There is no boto3 api to delete or update a record.  
  
Is there anyway to either delete a record or mutate a record? I'm storing user data and would like to delete user data upon a GDPR request.  
  
I get the feeling that a record is immutable by design however the documentation doesn't say it is, at least that I could find.

Answer

As of 11/24 Amazon Timestream supports the ability to upsert records. Please see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/timestream/latest/developerguide/getting-started.java-v1.code-samples.write-to-table.html for details.

Answer

In this video(Getting started with Amazon Timestream) they say you can only append to the table     
Also, abstract from docs  :   
"RejectedRecordsException  
WriteRecords would throw this exception in the following cases:  
- Records with duplicate data where there are multiple records with the same dimensions, timestamps, and measure names but different measure values."

Answer

Thanks for reaching out. Amazon Timestream currently does not support deleting and updating of existing records. We will add this feature asks to our list of feature requests.
