Thanks for the pointers. We're building a system that lets you register
multiple DBs (SQL & NoSQL) and compose queries graphically. The plan is to
allow users to select some of the DBs and add them to a Calcite federation
which in turn shows up as another DB. For this use case, I'd prefer not
having to work with model files so we'll probably go with the Schema SPI /
POJO way.

Cheers
