thanks for expanding on that, here's my (as the person who's been looking after 
our graphite stack) opinion:

- graphite isn't really data warehouse, thus I wouldn't recommend it as the 
primary storage for the verbatim/authoritative data
  - though saving data in graphite for graphing/etc and archived elsewhere too 
I think would cater in this case
- it is possible as @addshore suggests to not downsample daily data for a 
really long time, e.g. keeping a daily metric for e.g. 100y takes 438028 bytes 
on disk for each metric
- an analytics graphite instance could help, it means maintenance of that too 
of course.
- if the volume of metrics isn't very high (no idea on the order of magnitude 
though) then using the main graphite is certainly less overhead. To give an 
example, if we're talking about 10k distinct metrics that'd be no problem, 100k 
would be ATM.

hope that helps!
