 - **Deprecations**
   - Legacy index and chunk stores that are not "single store" (such as `tsdb`, `boltdb-shipper`) are deprecated. These storage backends are Cassandra (`cassandra`), DynamoDB (`aws`, `aws-dynamo`), BigTable (`bigtable`, `bigtable-hashed`), GCP (`gcp`, `gcp-columnkey`), and gRPC (`grpc`). See https://grafana.com/docs/loki/<LOKI_VERSION>/configure/storage.md for more information.
