Hi Haonan and the IoTDB dev community, My name is Shem Okech, I have 3 years of work experience with a background in Java and backend/data engineering. I'm interested in applying for the GSoC 2026 project: "Flink Connector for IoTDB 2.X Table Mode" (GSOC-308).
I've reviewed the existing flink-iotdb-connector and the IoTDB 2.X table mode documentation to understand the gap this project addresses. I have a question to make sure I design my proposal correctly: For the IoTDB Table Source implementation, is the expectation to use the JDBC API for query execution, or should the connector communicate directly with IoTDB's native session interface? I want to understand the preferred approach before finalizing my design. I'm already working on my proposal and plan to submit before the March 31 deadline. I'd really appreciate any early feedback or pointers to parts of the codebase I should study closely. Thank you, Shem Okech.
