How to import old data to Thanos (back-filling)

Short version

Now it is possible to backfill any custom data in prometheus text format to Thanos via my cli tool https://github.com/sepich/thanos-kit and it's import command.

Long version

Input data should be in prometheus text format with timestamps, lines sorted by time. Let's prepare some test data:
Format is [metric]{[labels]} [number value] [timestamp ms]
$ cat gen.sh
#!/bin/bash
ts_start=`date +%s -d '2020-09-11'`
ts_end=`date +%s -d '2020-09-12'`
scrape=15  # interval, sec

i=$ts_start
while [ $i -le $ts_end ]; do
  echo "test_metric_one{label=\"test1\"} ${RANDOM} ${i}000"
  echo "test_metric_two{label=\"test2\"} ${RANDOM} ${i}000"  
  i=$((i+scrape))
done

$ get.sh > test.prom
$ head test.prom
test_metric_one{label="test1"} 10057 1599771600000
test_metric_two{label="test2"} 9341 1599771600000
test_metric_one{label="test1"} 24268 1599771615000
test_metric_two{label="test2"} 15110 1599771615000
test_metric_one{label="test1"} 26687 1599771630000
So we have two metrics with label "label" and timestamp (ms) is increasing by 15s. To import this to Thanos object storage we would also need to set additional Thanos Metadata Lables, which you are setting on Prometheus as external_lables. We usually set prometheus and location for Prometheuses in Thanos cluster.
$ docker run -it --rm \ 
    -v `pwd`:/work -w /work \
    -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/work/svc.json \ 
    sepa/thanos-kit import \
        --objstore.config='{type: GCS, config: {bucket: bucketname}}' \
        --input-file test.prom \
        --label=prometheus=\"prom-a\" \ 
        --label=location=\"us-east1\"
        
Let's check imported data on object storage side:
$ docker run -it --rm \ 
    -v `pwd`:/work -w /work \
    -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/work/svc.json \ 
    sepa/thanos-kit inspect
    --objstore.config='{type: GCS, config: {bucket: bucketname}}' \
    --selector=prometheus=\"prom-a\"

These 2h block would be merged to larger one via your compactor running on object storage, after default --consistency-delay=30m pass (which is based on file upload time, not ULID)
Now let's try to query our metric for specified date:
