0.9.0-RC6: Create Infinite Retention Policy

[Sineos]

Creating an Infinite Retention Policy seems not possible. Both "0" or "INF" is rejected:

curl -G http://localhost:8086/query --data-urlencode "q=CREATE RETENTION POLICY blubb ON test DURATION 'INF' REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT"
{"error":"error parsing query: found INF, expected duration at line 1, char 47"}

curl -G http://localhost:8086/query --data-urlencode "q=CREATE RETENTION POLICY blubb ON test DURATION 0 REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT"
{"error":"error parsing query: found 0, expected duration at line 1, char 48"}

Strange enough following is accepted:

curl -G http://localhost:8086/query --data-urlencode "q=CREATE RETENTION POLICY blubb2 ON test DURATION 0h REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT"
{"results":[{}]}

In addition it would be nice if the web ui offers to

• edit retention policies
• remove retention policies

Would it be possible that the default retention policy for all databases is infinite if not specified?

I agree that it would be nice both to have infinite retention policy and inifinite as default behaviour.

We have had discussions about this, which are relevant.

Pass INF for infinite retention policies.
