>The higher order bit is to use SQL catalog (not necessarily duckdb, it supports postgres and mysql as well) for metadata instead of json/yaml. Within a single system, using a catalog clearly offers advantages. However, GAR is designed for cross-system interoperability, and YAML is universally readable, even by humans. Given that we cannot require users to adopt any specific catalog implementation (such as DuckLake’s or Kuzu’s). I don't know if there is a public SQL structure for creating catalog tables. And many systems don't support SQL and don't want to import it. We can support catalog-based metadata in systems that provide a catalog (e.g., Kuzu, DuckDB, etc.), while also fully supporting the generic YAML format for import and export to ensure broad interoperability. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
