Hi, everyone: Glad to see a lot of old friends here. Quicksql is a project born in early 2019. It was designed to solve the problem of long and complex work flow in the big data field with many data sources, many compute engines, and many types of syntax. The core idea is `Connect All Data Sources with One Extra Parsing Cost`.
Because it involves standard SQL parsing, we finally chose Calcite as the parsing engine that has the best SQL compatibility. Thanks to the excellent architecture and toolkits provided by Calcite, Quicksql has made some extensions on this basis and made more logical plans Rich definitions enable single data source and multi-source queries to be described. For single data sources, an end-to-end connection query is directly established, and for multiple data sources, logical plans are divided and pushed down, final interpreted as the code of the compute engine (such as Spark, Flink) with distributed computing capabilities for data merge. Based on this design, Quicksql makes extensive use of the ability of Calcite Adapter \ Dialect \ UDF to provide syntax adaptation compatibility for various data sources and compute engines, and also uses Avatica as a JDBC protocol. We are very grateful for the excellent artwork provided by the Calcite community. At the beginning of the project, Quicksql was confused about the application areas. After one year of polishing, Quicksql has successfully applied two areas: 1. Interactive Query Engine: Provides big data interactive query and BI analysis with standard SQL syntax, and response time is in seconds to minutes. 2. ETL Compute Engine: SQL-based ETL for multi-data source, which can use optimization capabilities of SQL for data cleaning \ transformation \ join, etc. In the future, we will also focus on dynamic engine selection, so that engines such as Hive, Spark, and Presto can run more suitable SQL. Looking forward to working with the Calcite community to do some interesting things and explore the unlimited possibilities of SQL Siyuan Liu On Mon, Mar 2, 2020 at 3:45 PM Francis Du <fran...@francisdu.com> wrote: > Hi everyone: > > Allow me to introduce my good friend Siyuan Liu, who is the leader of > Quicksql project. > > I CC to him and ask him to introduce the project to us.Here is the > documentation link for > > Quicksql [1]. > > [1]. https://quicksql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ > > Regards, > Francis > > Juan Pan <panj...@apache.org> 于2019年12月23日周一 上午11:44写道： > >> Thanks Gelbana, >> >> >> Very appreciated your explanation, which sheds me some light on exploring >> Calcite. :) >> >> >> Best wishes, >> Trista >> >> >> Juan Pan (Trista) >> >> Senior DBA & PPMC of Apache ShardingSphere(Incubating) >> E-mail: panj...@apache.org >> >> >> >> >> On 12/22/2019 05:58，Muhammad Gelbana<m.gelb...@gmail.com> wrote： >> I am curious how to join the tables from different datasources. >> Based on Calcite's conventions concept, the Join operator and its input >> operators should all have the same convention.
