Cool! Will that be continuous queries that can be used for downsampling?

I'm working on load testing and monitoring tools. Since either can produce enough metrics to overflow available storage, the downsampling story ends up as important as write speed for me. I imagine that's true of a lot of metric database scenarios--what happens if they go on...forever?
