Support for influxdb 2.0 metrics
Influx recently released 2.0 version of their database. It brings some major changes (like dropped support for udp protocol).
With new version they released a new golang client. Can we add support for this new client?
I would be happy to implement it. But I wanted to find out if it is desired.
I don't think code like this needs to live in the Go kit repo. Do you agree? If so, I would be happy to link to your implementation.
There is metrics package for influx 1.x so I thought it would be nice if we had similar wrapper for influx 2.x
I agree with @peterbourgon: the core is large enough as it is. As part of #843 things like metrics should probably be moved out of the core repo.
