There were some great ideas presented about bringing SQL to Cassandra. Thanks for ChatGPT, here is a summary of the main ideas: - CQL stays. No deprecation. CQL remains the high-throughput, low-level API indefinitely. - SQL should be implemented as a stateless layer on top of the storage engine, not by reshaping CQL into SQL. - Utilize storage alignment with future engine work. Accord (transactions) + ByteOrderedPartitioner / CEP-57 (ordered keyspace) make the SQL layer more robust. - Form a SIG / Working Group to define scope, gaps, prototypes, and guardrails. Finally, everyone is waiting to see how well the prototype Jeff Jira is building works. Let's pick it up from here! Patrick
