GitHub user Xuanwo closed a discussion: discuss: OpenDAL VISION Polish to "One Layer, All Storage."
This discussion replaced by https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/5301 --- Hello, everyone. I’m starting this thread as the first part of an ongoing discussion: https://github.com/apache/opendal/discussions/5189 As mentioned in that thread: > Our current vision, "access data freely," occasionally confuses our users, as > many associate the term "data" with databases, data lakes, and SQL in a > broader context. We should refine it to better reflect OpenDAL's objectives. In light of this, I propose a new vision for the OpenDAL project: **One Layer, All Storage.** This vision is a high-level abstraction of what we aim to achieve. It removes the confusing term `data` and replaces it with `storage` to clearly indicate that OpenDAL deals with storage rather than databases or tables (viewing databases as storage is another perspective). It also emphasizes that OpenDAL is a layer, serving as an abstraction layer for storage access, and it can support additional layers on top of it. This vision could be used as: **OpenDAL: One Layer, All Storage** or in a sentence: **OpenDAL is an Open Data Access Layer that aims to achieve `One Layer, All Storage.`** --- I personally love this vision and am eager to share it with the whole community. Please let me know what you think, and feel free to propose your version of the vision.
