do you expect any of your work on this to end up as rust libraries that can be used on their own?

Yes, absolutely. There are the Arrow libraries in Rust that we're already contributing to. DataFusion, for example is an SQL execution engine.

We'll be publishing crates for parsing InfluxDB Line Protocol, Reading InfluxDB TSM files (for conversion into Parquet and other formats), and client libraries as well.

The entire project itself will also be published as a crate. So you can use any part of the server in your own project.

cool. interested to see the TSM library.

if it's any use to you, here's an unpublished rust influx client crate I've been using for a few years. the main point of interest is an ergonomic macro to construct measurements, `measure!`. https://github.com/jonathanstrong/influx-writer
