https://github.com/greptimeteam/greptimedb relies on changes in the v2.2 branch to access the pgwire and other postgres underpinnings. Support the prometheus endpoint / PromQL. For this, the Trickster prometheus package should be adjusted for reuse by exposing a SupportedPaths() method that returns a deep clone of the prom paths, that GrepTimeDB can alter as needed (e.g., add new cache key inputs like db name, prepend paths for proper touting, etc.). Both prom and greptimedb's DefaultPathConfigs() can call SupportedPaths() so that everything uses the same source of truth. Support the PostgresQL endpoint / SQL syntax. Support the MySQL endpoint / SQL syntax. defer support for other protocols (gRPC, etc) proxy-only for non-TSDB HTTP endpoints like Jaeger and Loki update developer environment to run a GrepTimeDB all-in-one container and add a seeder task container New branch for this work should be created from the repo's v2.2 branch, and PR will go into v2.2 instead of main.
