Hi Julian, Let TsFile supporting SQL is attractive.
However, as it may have some limitations, e.g., a tsfile does not support out-of-order data integration for a given time series. It will limit the usage scenarios: if a embedded machine can run TsFile with Java, why not run IoTDB .... The above question may have two reasons: - computation resource limitation, but I think if the workload is not heavy, IoTDB will also spend few. - The OS/application does not allow running a long-term process, i.e., an embedded database is needed, and that is what SQLLite suitable for. For reason one, I think TsFile (C) is the final solution. For reason two, I think TsFile (Java) + SQL layer is very suitable. For example, considering it runs on an Android OS based machine.
