Hi Shaurya, Thanks for letting me know you are most interested in the Trino-IoTDB connector. That's a great area to focus on for your contributions!
Given your broader interest in the SQL layer as well, here is another potential feature you could look into implementing in IoTDB: a "describe a query" functionality. This would be a very useful addition for our users. For a specific definition of this feature, you can refer to how similar functionality is implemented in systems like DuckDB: DuckDB Describe Query <https://www.google.com/url?source=gmail&sa=E&q=https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/guides/meta/describe%23describing-a-query> . Let me know if this task is a better fit for you, and we can discuss the next steps.
