The Kudu plugin was contributed by six different developers, three of which
are Drill PMC members and two more which are PMC members of other Apache
projects. The code remained available for five days for review and received two
plus ones and no negative feedback. It is modeled after the HBase plugin and
works the same. It is unfortunate that there aren't integrated tests (due to
the fact that there wasn't an easy way to provide integrated tests such as mini
hbase cluster) but it was and is regularly manually tested. Due to the light
testing, we are communicating it as experimental to users.
Suggesting it didn't go through review when you have that large a group of
developers involved is weird. Assuming that the user api isn't in dispute
(which no one here disputed most likely because Kudu looks exactly like an
Oracle table), providing experimental plugins increases the breadth of Drill's
appeal and thus broadens and strengthens the community.
