// DatabaseInfo represents information about a database in the system.
type DatabaseInfo struct {
    Name                   string
    DefaultRetentionPolicy string
    RetentionPolicies      []RetentionPolicyInfo
    ContinuousQueries      []ContinuousQueryInfo
}
RetentionPolicyInfo 定义:
// RetentionPolicyInfo represents metadata about a retention policy.
type RetentionPolicyInfo struct {
    Name               string
    ReplicaN           int
    Duration           time.Duration
    ShardGroupDuration time.Duration
    ShardGroups        []ShardGroupInfo
    Subscriptions      []SubscriptionInfo
}
ShardGroupInfo 定义:
// ShardGroupInfo represents metadata about a shard group. The DeletedAt field is important
// because it makes it clear that a ShardGroup has been marked as deleted, and allow the system
// to be sure that a ShardGroup is not simply missing. If the DeletedAt is set, the system can
// safely delete any associated shards.
type ShardGroupInfo struct {
    ID          uint64
    StartTime   time.Time
    EndTime     time.Time
    DeletedAt   time.Time
    Shards      []ShardInfo
    TruncatedAt time.Time
}
ShardInfo 定义:
// ShardInfo represents metadata about a shard.
type ShardInfo struct {
    ID     uint64
    Owners []ShardOwner
}
ShardOwner 定义:
// ShardOwner represents a node that owns a shard.
type ShardOwner struct {
    NodeID uint64
}
ShardOwner主要用于集群,其中NodeId用于标识集群的节点ID,在InfluxDB 1.1社区版本中集群已经不支持了,该字段无效。
SubscriptionInfo 定义:
// SubscriptionInfo hold the subscription information
type SubscriptionInfo struct {
    Name         string
    Mode         string
    Destinations []string
}
ContinuousQueryInfo 定义:
// ContinuousQueryInfo represents metadata about a continuous query.
type ContinuousQueryInfo struct {
    Name  string
    Query string
}
UserInfo 定义:
// UserInfo represents metadata about a user in the system.
type UserInfo struct {
    Name       string
    Hash       string
    Admin      bool
    Privileges map[string]influxql.Privilege
}
