Whiteboard

Some db backends can directly handle the ttl:
- mongodb >= 2.2 can set db.meter.ensureIndex( { expireAfterSeconds: 3600 } )
- hbase can set "time_to_live" in families of the tables (in seconds)

For mongodb < 2.2 and other backends, a the periodic job can be done by the collector (or a other daemon ?)

So the first draft will do, on the collector, a period task will call a new function in the DB api that cleanup meter.
If the backend handled the ttl natively if will configure it at __init__ time and the function called by the collector just do nothing.
