Excuse me if this question seems a bit silly, but I'm wondering whether it would make sense to use FlightSQL to power a JSON API that talks to multiple databases.
I know that the docs around Flight/FlightSQL say that there is a marked performance improvement over ODBC/JDBC, but I assume this is only if the service sending the data over Flight isn't using one of these to interact with the datasource, right? If I have a JVM application using JDBC and sending the responses as JSON, would it still make sense to look towards implementing a FlightSQL Server because of the ability to distribute operations across multiple instances and it being language-agnostic? Or would I be losing most of the benefits here? Not familiar with the Arrow format and project as a whole, so still trying to wrap my head around things, sorry! Thank you =) Gavin Ray
