Luis, I am a committer on Apache Calcite and we have received a pull request to add Chinook as a test data set[1]. Rather than add Chinook to Calcite, I am proposing to package the data set as a mavenized jar and publish it on maven central[2]. I have done the same in the past for other data sets[3][4], and it has proven quite popular. Java projects are able to include them as test data sets with low friction.
Before I take the step of publishing to Maven Central, I wanted to find out what you think. As you are the original author, I believe you should have the right to do this, and all of us wish to avoid unnecessary forks. Here are some of the options I see. If you would like to own this project, you are most welcome — in fact I would prefer it. Also, let me know if you would prefer an organization name instead of net.hydromatic. (You would have to get permission from Sontatype to publish artifacts of that organization.) And, let me know if there are changes I should make to the README.md, NOTICE to give you due credit. Please let me know, either by replying to this email or by commenting on the GitHub issue[5]. If I don’t hear from you, my plan would be to release net.hydromatic:chinook-data-hsqldb:0.1 on Maven Central in the next few days.
