Hi Chad,
Yes, I agree. This is a really good idea. I think that it makes a lot
of sense to make streaming part of the standard MySQL protocol.
Your suggestion solves the problem that always comes with a
transition to a new protocol.

That's a beautiful hack, Paul.
Of course, you know what I'm going to say, but most of your readers
weren't at MySQLCamp-US-East where I proposed it: We can use this
experience to change mysql-proxy, as a stepping stone to making the
next mysql protocol (labled "p+1" below) that has (at least)
streaming built-in:
now: client -> server
next: client (p+1) -> proxy => server + mybs
& : client -> proxy -> server (p+1)
& : client (p+1) -> server (p+1)
so, older versions of client and server could speak to newer
versions of server and client, perhaps with proxy as an intermediary.
Alas, this is a long-term dream. I'm not proposing it for anyone
soon, but it's fun to think about.
