backport of exporting data in #58423

[fingolfin]

Didn't we just recently discuss that merging directly into a release branch without a backports-release-x.y is problematic because no NanoSoldier is run and regressions can creep in undetected?

[wsmoses]

There's no backports branch atm and had to make a PR somewhere

[gbaraldi]

Billy can you target a back ports branch here? If it doesn't exist create one

[wsmoses]

Yeah can do, just make another pr/branch off the current release and call it backports?

[DilumAluthge]

Retargeting to target the backports branch.

[DilumAluthge]

Alright, looks goods - now it's targeting the current branch.

I'm seeing a failure two times in a row in the Windows tests, in the threads tests. I've triggered another retry. Any chance the failure could be caused by this PR?

[wsmoses]

I don't think so, this Pr shouldn't impact any existing code as it just adds a new symbol

[DilumAluthge]

Let's just merge into backports then, and work on fixing the CI in the backports PR (#60692).

[vchuravy]

@wsmoses in the future please add a description to your PR (and perhaps open one PR first instead of three backport PRs at once).
