You want to keep the amount of different data that you are indexing/tagging on low. As an example with my situation, I was tracking what could be amounted to connections between nodes in a very large tree. I had a lot of distinct pairs, which means that I had a high cardinality. When the cardinality increases a query that used to take a millisecond to load could move to a couple seconds.

So InfluxDB v1.0 has issues with the cardinality of the "primary key" (or candidate keys) gets high?

At what level of keys or tags did you start to see query performance become problematic?
