In that sense, InfluxDB will start to have a decent amount of overlap with something like Snowflake or Redshift.

Yes, this will likely be the case, but it's not a specific goal. We're focusing our efforts right now on the InfluxDB time series use cases we see most. More general data warehousing work isn't our focus, but we expect to pick up quite a bit of that along the way as we develop and as the underlying Arrow tools develop.
Snowflake was actually specifically mentioned as an example of who else is doing this in the blog post
It looks like InfluxDB is going to target general-purpose analytical workloads. It would be interesting to look at how InfluxDB will compete with ClickHouse in this space.
