This proposes Remote Write API directly in client_golang main module. No dependency added (some new small packages are added under the internal vendored code).

Old attempt: #1656

Both API (client) and handler supports 1.0 and 2.0 Proto messages, but I intentionally only host writev2.Request generated Go code as we plan to deprecate 1.0 and users should use writev2 now. Both API and handler also will work against protobuf message types that use custom generators e.g. with gogoproto or anything else.

TODO:

  • Add examples, documentation
  • Open PR that uses it on Prometheus

//
// It is not safe to use the returned API from multiple goroutines, create a
// separate *API for each goroutine.
func NewAPI(c api.Client, opts ...APIOption) (*API, error) {

We could consider removing error from here and from APIOption as we don't have any option with validation or so. However I added it for future compatibility (we won't be able to easily extend it without breaking compatibility). Note: Currently api/ is experimenta... 🙈 I think I will remove error here and hope for the best, YAGNI.

Suggested change
func NewAPI(c api.Client, opts ...APIOption) (*API, error) {
func NewAPI(c api.Client, opts ...APIOption) *API {

}

yeah I just ran into DesymbolizeLabels not being public in prometheus codebase here open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#35751 (comment)

Do you use labels.Labels or some other struct (for labels in Otel)

It's bit inconsistent with NewRemoteAPI in terms of options, let's unify one to one or another 🤔

// WriteProtoFullName represents the fully qualified name of the protobuf message
// to use in Remote write 1.0 and 2.0 protocols.
// See https://prometheus.io/docs/specs/remote_write_spec_2_0/#protocol.
type WriteProtoFullName protoreflect.FullName

nit: Change to string, bit too hard to use

const (
// WriteProtoFullNameV1 represents the `prometheus.WriteRequest` protobuf
// message introduced in the https://prometheus.io/docs/specs/remote_write_spec/.
// DEPRECATED: Use WriteProtoFullNameV2 instead.

For receivers who wants to support it for longer, deprecation might cause some friction, but maybe worth it? 🤔

Given that the spec is only just finalized recently and (afaik) still no receivers like Mimir support v2, we should include v1 request code imo.

this should be configurable imo, not all remote write receivers use the same endpoint

should we only try to get write response stats/log a warning if the request type was v2?

return &handler{logger: logger, store: store}
}

a comment with an example of what the string might look like would be useful for people who haven't read or fully understood the v2 spec

should we be pulling this via go.mod as opposed to having copies of the files? or is this the way we include dependencies for the client library?

We try as hard as we can to avoid dependencies. I'm in favor of copying other libraries code (respecting copyright) if possible
