Hi, has the tsfile submodule planned to provide the native interface for 
prevalent analytical frameworks or programming languages? Especially, the 
Python community. The Python community consists of many packages powerful on 
time series data analysis, such as the sktime for Machine Learning and PyTorch 
for Deep Learning, which highly relies on training on a huge amount of time 
series data.


As we develop the native AI engine for IoTDB (AINode). We find that the tsfile, 
which takes advantage of the fast reading and dense compression of tsfile 
organization, may further benefit the incorporation of the DB and AI System 
with authority management and free from numerous and costly data transfers 
compared with loading from the local file system. And there are still some open 
problems as loading the data for training deep models in iterations and 
inference of the data as the stream, which pose novel challenges to the 
operator supported by the native interface.



Perhaps a good starting point would be to implement a PyTorch-like dataloader, 
where the data source could support the tsfile.
