Plans for SQL Layer?

[fire]

What are the current plans for the SQL layer?

[ngaut]

It's possible to use TiDB as the SQL layer. The architecture of TiDB is highly leveled, the storage engine in TiDB is pluggable. Currently TiDB uses TiKV as a distributed storage engine and goleveldb as a local storage engine for testing.

It'd be great to get community feedback on layer needs more generally, including SQL. I'd encourage you to kick off a discussion on the forums: https://forums.foundationdb.org.

As we note in our Contributors Guide our hope is to make forums the place where most development and user discussion takes place, instead of GitHub issues. "GitHub Issues should be used for tracking tasks. If you know the specific code that needs to be changed, then it should go to GitHub Issues. Everything else should go to the Forums."

Hope it's OK that I close this issue for now, in hopes of the discussion migrating to the forums. It'd also be good to circle back here with a link to wherever the discussion migrates. Thanks!

There is a simple SQL layer on FoundationDB, https://github.com/opentradesolutions/opentick

Actually, four year ago, there's already a sql layer for FDB: https://github.com/jaytaylor/sql-layer.
