Panic when trying to set retentionPolicy to inf

[neuroid]

Hi,

I get a panic when trying to create a database with the following config:

[
  {
    "database": "test",
    "spaces": [
      {
        "name": "default",
        "retentionPolicy": "inf",
        "shardDuration": "7d",
        "regex": "/.*/",
        "replicationFactor": 1,
        "split": 1
      }
    ]
  }
]

Here's the error:

According to the docs inf is a valid retentionPolicy value. As a side note, what is the default retentionPolicy when creating a database using the web gui? I was loading historical data points spanning over six months and noticed that shards were being dropped.

I'm running 0.8.0-rc.3.

769 might explain why the shards are being dropped even though retentionPolicy is set to inf.
