[Bug] Binary Data Misinterpreted as UTF-8 in Zenoh Storage for InfluxDB 2

[czarekk215]

Describe the bug

When attempting to store binary data in Zenoh storage configured for InfluxDB 2, the system incorrectly interprets the binary data as UTF-8. If the binary data does not represent a valid UTF-8 string, the operation fails, and the database stores an invalid record. The stored record is a base64-encoded string indicating that it failed to interpret the data as UTF-8.

To reproduce

1. Set up Zenoh storage configured for InfluxDB.
2. Create a publisher and use it to write a binary value (e.g., a value that is not a valid UTF-8 string).
3. Try to retrieve the value using:
   • Zenoh client.
   • InfluxDB client by querying: SELECT * FROM path/to/something.

System info

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
• Architecture: AMD64 (x86_64)
• Zenoh Version: 1.1.0
