Buckets

Buckets are a new data storage concept for InfluxDB. A bucket is a named location where data is stored that has a retention policy. It’s similar to an InfluxDB v1.x “database,” but is a combination of both a database and a retention policy. When using multiple retention policies, each retention policy is treated as is its own bucket.
