1. A method for processing time series data comprising: receiving a time series data set, wherein each element of the time series data set contains a timestamp and an original value associated with the timestamp, and times represented by all timestamps constitute a time series having fixed time intervals; converting each original value into a coded value occupying a smaller storage space according to a predetermined monotone numerical compression coding scheme; dividing the times represented by all timestamps into a plurality of time intervals having a predetermined length; assembling coded values corresponding to all timestamps within each time interval into one of a plurality of data packages, such that each data package contains a plurality of coded values arranged in an order of timestamps; and storing in a database record each data package and its associated identification of a time interval, wherein each data package containing a plurality of coded values is stored in the database record in association with a single respective identified time interval; wherein the storing in a database record each data package and its associated identification of a time interval further comprises storing in the database record a count value of a number of coded values contained in the data package.
