   It might help to start this document with an expected usecase. I originally 
thought it was to allow clients that spoke the postgres (front-end / back-end 
protocol) protocol to connect to a FlightSQL server
   
   But now it is primarily to allow clients that speak FlightSQL to speak 
directly to a posgres server
   
   If we are interested in the other usecase, it might be interesting to 
implement a local "proxy" service that translated FEBE into  FlightSQL 
requests. 
   
   This has the benefit of allowing any client that speaks postgres FEBE (which 
are myriad) to access *any* server that supports FlightSQL (rather than just 
posgres).
   
   This is the approach google took,  for running postgres febe  against cloud 
spanner here:
