I love InfluxDB, apart from the need to have separate retention policies when reducing granularity over time.

Are there any plans for a more unified method of performing continuous queries - so that we can query high granularity and older, downsampled data at the same time?

That would be a killer feature for me.

Absolutely. We won't address that in the initial release of 2.0, but there will be ways to get it done. The eventual solution will probably revolve around using the tasks system to downsample into buckets of different retention. Then using a function in Flux at query time to look at the metadata of buckets in the query and the time range and selecting the precision based on that. We should be able to show examples of how to do this in Flux later this year.

Awesome, I'll look forward to it. Thanks Paul!
