Support for +new functions, data formats, and similar functionality can be added using those +extension APIs, and there are already many existing community supported +extensions listed in the [extensions list]. + +Query engines are complex pieces of software to develop and maintain. Given our +limited maintenance bandwidth, we try to keep the DataFusion core as simple and +focused as possible, while still satisfying the [design goal] of an easy to +start initial experience. + +With that in mind, contributions that meet the following criteria are more likely +to be accepted: + +1. Bug fixes for existing features +2. Test coverage for existing features +3. Documentation improvements / examples +4.
