The thing with plugins is that you're free to do just that. For now the proper plugin framework is very recent, and the "plugin ecosystem" hasn't had the time to emerge just yet. Everyone is free to start their own repo and publish plugins, it becomes fairly easy for anyone to build whomever else's plugin or sets of plugins into their Superset instances. The core team has decided directionally to standardize on ECharts as the main library to help us achieve more visual and technical consistency, and that applies to the the core plugins managed and maintained by the committers. Historically it's been challenging for Superset to be a patchworks of visualization frameworks and libraries that look slightly different, have different APIs, and evolve [or stagnate!] at different paces. Longer term, we'd love to have a proper plugin ecosystem with one-click installs. We have a proof of concept somewhere that we can share, where you can point your installation to a built bundle (inside a CRUD view listing out your plugins) and it hot loads it and does the proper thing. We may consider promoting plugins or plugin sets into the core plugins that ship with Superset too, but I'd much rather working towards a frictionless ecosystem that fosters distributed maintenance and ownership. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
