      There are a few places in the code which assume that a collection name with 'system.buckets' prefix implies that, the collection is a time-series collection. But we do allow users to create a regular collection with 'system.buckets' prefix. This might lead to some inconsistent behaviour. We generally don't allow users to create a collection with 'system.' prefix, so we should not treat 'system.buckets' prefix differently.
