Previously, meta.Client would drop the default retention policy when trying to create a database with a retention policy. The RPC has now been modified to include the desired retention policy in the CreateDatabase command and have it use that retention policy information instead of the default configuration when provided. This also lowers the number of RPC calls for CreateDatabaseWithRetentionPolicy to only a single RPC call instead of two. Protections have also been included so creating a retention policy with different parameters will return an error similar to if you tried to modify the retention policy separately. Fixes #5696. |

InfluxDB 
An Open-Source, Distributed, Time Series Database
InfluxDB is an open source distributed time series database with no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics, events, and performing analytics.
Features
- Built-in HTTP API so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and running.
- Data can be tagged, allowing very flexible querying.
- SQL-like query language.
- Clustering is supported out of the box, so that you can scale horizontally to handle your data. Clustering is currently in an alpha state.
- Simple to install and manage, and fast to get data in and out.
- It aims to answer queries in real-time. That means every data point is indexed as it comes in and is immediately available in queries that should return in < 100ms.
Installation
We recommend installing InfluxDB using one of the pre-built packages. Then start InfluxDB using:
service influxdb startif you have installed InfluxDB using an official Debian or RPM package.systemctl start influxdbif you have installed InfluxDB using an official Debian or RPM package, and are running a distro withsystemd. For example, Ubuntu 15 or later.$GOPATH/bin/influxdif you have built InfluxDB from source.
Getting Started
Create your first database
curl -G 'http://localhost:8086/query' --data-urlencode "q=CREATE DATABASE mydb"
Insert some data
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' \
-d 'cpu,host=server01,region=uswest load=42 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' \
-d 'cpu,host=server02,region=uswest load=78 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' \
-d 'cpu,host=server03,region=useast load=15.4 1434055562000000000'
Query for the data
curl -G http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM cpu WHERE host='server01' AND time < now() - 1d"
Analyze the data
curl -G http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT mean(load) FROM cpu WHERE region='uswest'"
