in most recent projects the adapter type has been kafka and the message contain an array of data points (e.g stock quotes, sensor values, data points). These noramly arrive as an array of data points. To add tehse to the data streams cacahe it is necessary to unpack and iterate over the entire extent of data points and insert them in the cache one at a time. Would be easier of there was some form of batch insert into a cache so all data points can be added in a single insert like in DBs and other caches (AS etc)
