merging via regex appears broken

[joemiller]

tested in master, commit 9b5027a

merging multiple series via regex appears broken. The docs http://influxdb.org/docs/query_language/ specify an example like select * from merge /stats.*/ which should merge rows from all series matching stats.*.

This does not appear to work, however:

> select * from merge /pageviews.*sitename.*/;
InfluxDB::Error: Error at 1701869940:808464960. syntax error, unexpected MERGE, expecting TABLE_NAME or SIMPLE_NAME or REGEX_STRING or INSENSITIVE_REGEX_STRING

specifying two specific series (but not more than 2) does work though:

select * from pageviews_host.www.sitename.com merge pageviews_host.sitename.com;
6819 results found for pageviews_host.www.sitename.com_merge_pageviews_host.sitename.com
