Sorry, I have not followed the thread from the beginning, but just wanted to
point to a MariaDB feature that seems quite similar or at least related:
http://askmonty.org/wiki/Manual:Extending_CREATE_TABLE
This is in MariaDB 5.2, and allows a storage engine to register arbitrary
key=value options it understands in CREATE TABLE. Options can be specified for
the table, for a column, or for an index (and I think Serg is working on
something for partitions).
I do not know if this can be used by Drizzle, but if nothing else it might
serve as inspiration. There was quite a lot of interest in something like this
at the storage engine summit we held the day after the UC.
Hope this helps,
- Kristian.
