* fix/filter-empty-batch-in-bulk-insert-api: **Add Early Return for Empty Record Batches in `bulk_insert.rs`** - Implemented an early return in the `Inserter` implementation to handle cases where `record_batch.num_rows()` is zero, improving efficiency by avoiding unnecessary processing. Signed-off-by: Lei, HUANG <mrsatangel@gmail.com> * fix/filter-empty-batch-in-bulk-insert-api: **Improve Bulk Insert Handling** - **`handle_bulk_insert.rs`**: Added a check to handle cases where the batch has zero rows, immediately returning and sending a success response with zero rows processed. - **`bulk_insert.rs`**: Enhanced logic to skip processing for masks that select none, optimizing the bulk insert operation by avoiding unnecessary iterations. These changes improve the efficiency and robustness of the bulk insert process by handling edge cases more effectively. Signed-off-by: Lei, HUANG <mrsatangel@gmail.com> * fix/filter-empty-batch-in-bulk-insert-api: ### Refactor and Error Handling Enhancements - **Refactored Timestamp Handling**: Introduced `timestamp_array_to_primitive` function in `timestamp.rs` to streamline conversion of timestamp arrays to primitive arrays, reducing redundancy in `handle_bulk_insert.rs` and `bulk_insert.rs`. - **Error Handling**: Added `InconsistentTimestampLength` error in `error.rs` to handle mismatched timestamp column lengths in bulk insert operations. - **Bulk Insert Logic**: Updated `handle_bulk_insert.rs` to utilize the new timestamp conversion function and added checks for timestamp length consistency. Signed-off-by: Lei, HUANG <mrsatangel@gmail.com> * fix/filter-empty-batch-in-bulk-insert-api: **Refactor `bulk_insert.rs` to streamline imports** - Simplified import statements by removing unused timestamp-related arrays and data types from the `arrow` crate in `bulk_insert.rs`.

Introduction
GreptimeDB is an open-source, cloud-native database purpose-built for the unified collection and analysis of observability data (metrics, logs, and traces). Whether you’re operating on the edge, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments, GreptimeDB empowers real-time insights at massive scale — all in one system.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Observability Data | Store metrics, logs, and traces as timestamped, contextual wide events. Query via SQL, PromQL, and streaming. |
| High Performance & Cost Effective | Written in Rust, with a distributed query engine, rich indexing, and optimized columnar storage, delivering sub-second responses at PB scale. |
| Cloud-Native Architecture | Designed for Kubernetes, with compute/storage separation, native object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.) and seamless cross-cloud access. |
| Developer-Friendly | Access via SQL/PromQL interfaces, REST API, MySQL/PostgreSQL protocols, and popular ingestion protocols. |
| Flexible Deployment | Deploy anywhere: edge (including ARM/Android) or cloud, with unified APIs and efficient data sync. |

Troubleshooting:
- Cannot connect to the database? Ensure that ports
4000,4001,4002, and4003are not blocked by a firewall or used by other services. - Failed to start? Check the container logs with
docker logs greptimefor further details.
