Hi @mans2singh !
This looks like a good piece of work, and ReThinkDB is an interesting
technology!
An Apache-compatible licence is also good.
We are facing a bit of a maintenance issue right now, though, with a large
number of new projects. There are so many possible DBs and connectors, and it
is tough for the community to maintain them all. For that reason, I would
suggest to stage such contributions of new and interesting connectors.
Could you put this into an standalone GitHub project for now? We would link
this repository from the Apache Flink website and that way make it visible to
the Flink community.
When we see that we get frequent requests for a ReThinkDB, we would like to
move this to the core Flink code base.
Following this idea, we would end up with frequently used connectors in the
core Flink repository, and a larger number of connectors in third party
community repositories. I think that would help the stability of the project
and all connectors.
