what is DBCount vs Buckets.

[davecroto]

Looking at the conf file we see “maxHotBuckets“ and “maxWarmDBCount”. What is the difference between a “Bucket” and a “DBCount”? Looking for a better explanation than doc

check this http://wiki.splunk.com/Deploy:BucketRotationAndRetention

buckets in the homePath = hot + warm, controlled by “maxHotBuckets“ and “maxWarmDBCount”

buckets in the coldPath = the rest of the buckets
