Can you explain what is meant by the TSM system and how it works?

TSM (Time Series Management) is a system for managing time series data. In the context of programming and databases, TSM usually refers to specialized solutions for storing, processing, and analyzing data that change over time, such as sensor readings, financial quotes, or performance metrics.

How TSM works:

• Data is recorded with a timestamp.
• Storage is optimized for quick access to data over specific time intervals.
• Aggregation, compression, and indexing by time are often supported.

Example: In Java, libraries for working with time series can implement TSM concepts, such as storing data in databases like InfluxDB or TimescaleDB, which support efficient time-based queries.
