| ts-compaction-policy | string | Default compaction rules. This default value is applied to each new time series upon its creation |
| ts-retention-policy | integer (range: 0-9223372036854775807) (default: 0) | Default retention period, in milliseconds. This default value is applied to each new time series upon its creation, but if COMPACTION_POLICY is specified, it is overridden for created compactions as specified in COMPACTION_POLICY. |

| "FIRST" | ||
| "LAST" | ||
| "MIN" | ||

| ts-encoding | "COMPRESSED" | |
| "UNCOMPRESSED" | ||
| (default: "COMPRESSED") | Default chunk encoding for automatically-created compacted time series. This default value is applied to each new compacted time series automatically created due to the creation of a new time series when COMPACTION_POLICY is specified. | |
| ts-chunk-size-bytes | integer (range: 48-1048576) (default: 4096) | Default initial allocation size, in bytes, for the data part of each new chunk. This default value is applied to each new time series upon its creation. |
