Ok, since there’s a lot of agreement and no concerns, I’ll go ahead.
Thanks,

Hi,
as you know AsterixDB supports 2 query languages (AQL and SQL++)
and many
output formats (ADM, clean JSON, lossless JSON, CSV). Our current
defaults
for these options (at least on the web interface) are AQL and ADM.
I’d like to propose to change those defaults to be SQL++ and
(clean)
JSON.
The reason for wanting them to change, is that I think that these
choices
are more attractive to new users of the system and thus can help to
increase
the adoption of AsterixDB. A user with some database experience is
much
more
likely to have previous SQL experience and to feel at home with
SQL++
than
having XQuery experience and feeling at home with AQL. Similarly,
most
users
will want to use the data that they get out of AsterixDB in an
application
and it will be a lot easier to consume JSON than it is to consume
ADM.
I've prepared a (tiny) change to change the defaults [1] and I'm
wondering
if there are concerns that should keep us from making this change.
Cheers,
Till
