Hi Edmon, Nice to meet you and welcome to the community!
I don't have enough context to throw some well-bounded problems at you (I tend to do most of my work on Avatica rather than Calcite directly), but I thought it would be nice to say hello anyways :)
Your aspirations and ambition sound great. I look forward to your contributions in both code and literature form.

Hello, I want to introduce myself as a possible new member of the Calcite team (I know some of you from the Drill team, etc.) I am a practicing researcher with an interest and the expertise in advanced data structures, and databases in general (grammars, architecture, etc.) I would like to start making contributions, particularly in the applications of algorithms, or new language formalisms in the areas that could benefit from those - performance improvements, new grammatical constructs, parsing, etc. To this end -- please share with me if there are areas where you feel Calcite could benefit from new features, or the optimizations. I do not have time to do lots of heavy lifting coding, but I have plenty of research and development time and expertise, specially if you throw a concrete problem at me. Thank you, Edmon P.S. I will start with contributions with the documentation, papers, presentations, which will allow me to learn the architecture in more details.
