Specifying <database>.<retention_policy> does not work as expected.

I have a database EMR3 which has three retention policies.

I wanted to store the points in the appropriate one. As a normal database CLI operation you would specify this as "EMR3"."save_for_28_days".

Whatever you put in the database field in the YAML file, a new database is created instead of storing it as expected. I tried the database both with and without quotes (") to no avail.

I also found that strings are not handled at all. If you enter type: "string" you get an error like below:
ERROR: parse json: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) topic: emr3/startup payload: b'EMR3 - V1.0'

@dgoadby Thanks for the suggestion. I believe this resolves on its own since today we migrated to InfluxDB v3, which does not have that retention policy parameter.

The new version is not yet on PyPI. Can you provide some feedback?

Thank you. P.

Now, the v2 is live on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mqtt2influxdb/

Feedback is welcome!
