When Prometheus and Thanos sidecar are launched simultaneously, should the Thanos sidecar launch configuration tsdb.path point to the Prometheus storage.tsdb.path-defined TSDB database data directory?

What architecture are you using?

None

What steps will reproduce the bug?

I am using Bitnami's Helm Chart to install Prometheus + Thanos sidecar, but I found that the default Prometheus uses the tsdb data directory path of --storage.tsdb.path=/bitnami/prometheus/data, while the Thanos sidecar points to the Prometheus tsdb data directory of --tsdb.path=/prometheus/. It's strange that the sidecar can work normally and upload tsbd data blocks to Minio, which is confusing. Am I misunderstanding the meaning of the tsdb.path parameter, or does the sidecar not need to access the Prometheus tsdb data directory to upload data blocks?

What is the expected behavior?
