@wmedeiros, you can use dbinspect command to perform this analysis on volume/age by buckets:

Thanks.
I have this bucket "db_1467575622_1467543210_820". I understood that the newest_time=1467575622 and oldest_time=1 467 543 210.
This time are in seconds, but how to transform this time in Date?

1 day has 87400 seconds (24*60*60).
1 year has 31536000 seconds (87400*365)
1467575622 seconds are 46.53 years (1467575622/31536000)

How to determine the age of these events ?
