What do you mean by not meeting desired performance characteristics? Is it the write conflicts, file/block size limiations, etc.. eventually over time, or is it with a high ingestion load? Do we have similar problems if we deploy Prometheus in Agent mode (data streamed to a remote location) but still need WAL storage to handle receiver connection failures?
