// the general approach to process the influxdb response is:
// - for columns with data, we convert them to grafana dataframes
// - for columns with tags, we convert them to labels for the dataframes
//
// we also try to detect some often used patterns in the data,
// and make the data easier to graph in the browser for such cases:
// - if there is only one timestamp-column and it's named "_time",
// we will not add the labels to this data-column, because timestamp
// columns usually do not have labels in grafana.
// we use the `columnInfo.shouldGetLabels` attribute to handle this.
// - if there is only one timestamp-column and it's named "_time",
// and there is only one non-timestamp-column and it's named "_value",
// we rename "_time" to "Time" (using `columnInfo.isTheSimpleTime`),
// and we rename "_value" too (using `columnInfo.isTheSimpleValue`):
// if there is a tag called "_field" we use it's value as the name
// (because that's the usual approach in influxdb), and if there is not,
// we name it "Value". with these new names, they are more compatible
// with the visualizations in grafana.
