tbh, i'm not entirely sure how many buckets we need either so i doubt 
users will know how many buckets they need.lol Ceph has that calculator 
to tell you ratio of of placement groups to OSD but i'll be honest, even 
when i use that, i'm just blindly typing numbers in.

also, if we make it configurable, then we need to add code in that 
rearranges buckets when it's changed... so... i'm hoping for something 
static if possible (although probably not?)

i imagine we want less than 1K metrics/bucket? assuming it ends up being 
maybe 5 objects/metric?... seems we need some calculator here. :(

cheers,
