I would like to know if there is a general estimate as to when the tsdb import functionality <https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/tree/tsdb-import-csv> will be merged into master and made available in a release? I have a use case where I need to import large batches of metrics at the end of every day. I was initially planning on using Postgres with TimescaleDB along with the Promscale connector <https://github.com/timescale/promscale> as this would be suitable due to the fact we can simply do bulk inserts of the metrics and specify value of the time field <https://docs.timescale.com/latest/tutorials/prometheus-adapter>. I would much rather stick with simply using Prometheus as we can avoid creating yet another database to manage.
On another note, I'm trying to get an understanding of how the TSDB import feature would work with setup running with Thanos? I imagine that once the blocks are imported into the local Prometheus instance, the thanos sidecar would simply read the block(s) and upload them to the configured storage bucket? I realize this touches on a different application not directly part of Prometheus so if I'm best asking this in the Thanos group, please let me know.
