I've searched for an answer to this specific question, but turned up 
nothing specific.

Is series cardinality affected by actual use, or by combinatorial math 
alone?

For example:

metric,asset_id=abc,geohash=gbsuv7ztq
metric,asset_id=xyz,geohash=gbsuv7ztr

... in this schema, a series will have been generated by some asset 
(important information), and that asset will have a location associated 
with it. But, the location of each asset will be unique to that asset 
alone. Asset 'abc' will never be located somewhere else and therefore will 
only ever have that one geohash. This is relational data, of course, which 
I am trying to shoehorn into a time-series database - but only for the sake 
of getting data plotted in Grafana's new WorldMap panel.

Any clarification of cardinality in this situation would be helpful. I'm 
expecting to have ~200k assets (and therefore ~200k geohashes) at maximum. 
Alternatively, if anyone has more experience with geohashing for grafana or 
can point me to resources, I'd be very grateful.
