Alright, could you please give an approximation of the difficulty of

Any prerequisites other than C++?
I didn't find the contact details of the persons who worked on the
same plugin for MySQL, do you know any?
A talk with the sphinx developers would surely be helpful,
Start here http://sphinxsearch.com/
Of course looking at the MySQL sphinxse plugin would be helpful as well.
The sphinxse plugin takes the search query as a sort of comment to the
request for rows from the "table"
Wether or not the drizzle team is happy with this method is up to them.
So in the MySQL implementation of sphinxse the "table" is really more
a less an interface to sphinx index.
It works and it works well... but it felt a little like a stretch to
call it a storage engine.
Do not get me wrong I like it.. we indexed mysql tables in sphinx and
then get access to that index through a "table" so the feature is very
nice.
In addition recent developments in SPhinx I believe have the sphinx
server searchd, responding to the MySQL protocol.. so there may be
more than one way to go about the drizzle implementation of the
sphinxse.

DDL: completely different.
transactions: completely different: we (mostly) have
startTransaction/endTransaction and friends
Glue (the bits for registering a plugin/storage engine etc):
completely
different.
the rnd_init,rnd_next,index_init bits.... pretty similar
unfortunately.
