"Minimum Virus": Please Support 1.22 Without Patch Version Requirement

[majew7]

Please direct all support questions to slack or the forums. Thank you.

ISSUE Described

On Nov 11, 2024, influxdb3-go began requiring a minimum of Go v1.22.7, and even a toolchain minimum of v1.22.9.

This repo by itself should not be enforcing minimum on other repositories importing it. Stop spreading "minimum virus"

• Stop spreading "minimum virus"
• cmd/go: toolchain directive in go.mod being updated unnecessarily #65847

The issue is that our team must now make too many changes on our side unnecessarily, including CI.

Context: An Story of Unlucky Timing

• Sept 12, 2024 grpc-go; deps: update dependencies for all modules
• Nov 11, 2024 influxdb3-go; chore(deps): bump google.golang.org/grpc from 1.67.1 to 1.68.0
• Nov 12, 2024 grpc-go; deps: Remove Go minor version from go.mods

Conclusion: I think influxdb3-go go upgraded right before grpc-go dropped their minimum version back down to Gov1.22. If Influx had waited ~24 hours, the "minimum virus" wouldn't have formed.

Version Request

1. Would you please reduce the minimum Go version just as grpc-go did on Nov 12, 2024?
2. Would you please drop the toolchain directive, unless it's necessary?

Hi @majew7,

Thank you for reporting this.

All your requirements are reasonable. Are you able to create a PR for this? I can review it quickly.

Best regards

Thanks for your reply Bednar!

I would, unfortunately, my company cannot commit to OSS w/o obtaining approval from legal first. Thus another Influx community member would need to initiate it.

@majew7, it’s okay. I’ve prepared this PR: #134. Can you please take a look and leave comments if it works for you?
