The idea of sql-datastore (ie a DataStore with a SQL shaped hole in the 
API so you could do joins and mapping) is an experimental idea that has 
always been on a branch. I have encouraged several developers now (RobA 
being the most recent) to submit a proposal to GeoTools to make a formal 
interface for this idea. However with the recent H2 family of datastores 
being written you are going to have a bit more work cut out for you - 
there will no longer be a common JDBCDataStore to hack up and you will 
need to define an interface.

So you may want to talk to the developers and make a proposal now while 
the H2 family is being defined...

My impression is that RobA is the maintainer of both sql-datastore and 
geometryless. You can check the pom.xml file to be sure. My understand 
is Rob is the only person you need to talk to about bring that work forward.
