Description
There is a use case with clickhouse as a timeseries DB when metrics/events are stored in the following format:
timestamp, ["key1", "key2"], ["value1", "value2"]
original event:
{"timestamp": <>, "event": {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
These allows us to send events with arbitrary fields. Do you think vector can support this sink?

Research direction
The issue describes a ClickHouse sink for events represented as a timestamp plus arrays of field names and values, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing ClickHouse sink and clarify the expected schema, supported event shapes, and acceptance tests before implementation. Done means the requested arbitrary-field events can be sent and are covered by tests.
