The time bucketing I have in mind is a feature supported by an existing SQL
client for Druid, it would be used with GROUP BY:

https://github.com/implydata/plyql

An example of it would be:

plyql -h 10.20.30.40 -i P1D -q "
SELECT
SUM(tweet_length) as TotalTweetLength
FROM twitterstream
GROUP BY TIME_BUCKET(__time, PT1H, 'Etc/UTC')
"

The "GROUP BY TIME_BUCKET(__time, PT1H, 'Etc/UTC')" would be equivalent to
specifying the following within the Druid query JSON:

...
"granularity": {"type": "period", "period": "PT1H", "timeZone": "Etc/UTC"}
...
