Summary

The InfluxDB 3.0 client libraries available are v1, v2, and v3 Lightweight Client Library, each with its own strengths and weaknesses depending on the version of InfluxDB used, query language required, and administrative APIs needed. The v3 Lightweight Client Libraries are recommended for new customers or those using InfluxDB 3.0, as they provide a simple and efficient way to write to and query from InfluxDB without relying on administrative APIs. Apache Arrow Flight is another option for querying InfluxDB 3.0, offering high performance and support for SQL, InfluxQL, and other languages. Existing customers using v1 or v2 client libraries can continue to use them with InfluxDB 3.0, but may need to consider upgrading to the v3 Lightweight Client Library or Apache Arrow Flight for future applications.
