Hi!

The current version of blueflood can be configured to reject metrics a older than a particular amount, or more than a particular amount in the future. By modifying these values your deployment could accept data 30 years old.

The settings are:

- BEFORE_CURRENT_COLLECTIONTIME_MS - any timestamps more than this amount of time in the past are rejected

- AFTER_CURRENT_COLLECTIONTIME_MS - any timestamps more than this amount of time in the future are rejected

The defaults are at: https://github.com/rackerlabs/blueflood/blob/master/blueflood-core/src/main/java/com/rackspacecloud/blueflood/service/CoreConfig.java#L174

This was introduced in commit 0ae8d1443c97a30d10c83a16f721083dd2b7361e. Before this, all timestamps were accepted.
