@jihoonson currently, we can edit a `PeriodDropRule` like this:
```json
{
  "type" : "dropByPeriod",
  "period" : "P1D"
}
```
The period is from some time in the past to the current time, so this example 
will drop last one day data. I think `PeriodDropRule` is a impractical rule for 
it will always drop recent data. So people who want to retain the last 30 days 
data, they can not use this `PeriodDropRule` but have to do like this: load 30 
days, drop forever. Then because of `drop forever` cause issues that @gianm 
have listed above.

Maybe we can remove the `PeriodDropRule` because I think few people would like 
to use it. Then add a new drop rule which will drop data older than a 
configured date.
