As AsterixDB evolves, and additional features are added - e.g., DISTINCT aggregate support, or properly implemented query-bodied functions, supporting two query languages is hugely expensive: Updating two grammars, parsers, rules, tests, ... IMO it is time to let go of AQL as an externally supported interface to AsterixDB and only have SQL++ going forward. I think "everyone" has migrated - and if not we should force that migration. (Cloudberry is on SQL++ nowadays, BAD is on SQL++ nowadays, ...) Any objections? If not, I think we should make this decision officially and stop putting energy into carrying the AQL legacy around with us. Thoughts?
