Hi,

I am doing POC on Apache metamodel for one of our requirement in project and 
most of things are achievable using apache metamodel and its really a generic 
data processing application.

Apart from database and file format we need to support the REST API as 
connector and since REST doesn't follow any schema definition we are planning 
to add swagger based custom connector in apache metamodel.

Today I have started understand the swagger schema and its structure but it's 
quite difficult to visualize the swagger as RDBMS ( schema, tables and columns 
) which is first requirement to write a connector in apache metamodel.

Initial thought on converting swagger as connector
1.     Convert all the operation ( paths ) as schema
2.     and each Method type like GET, POST etc. as table
3.     Method input & output as columns
But problem with above approach method type are specify an operation type i.e. 
GET for Reading data, POST for writing back data, DELETE for deleting 
information so its doesn't make sense in visualize method type as table which 
may not provide all the operation like select, insert, update etc. over it. 
Another problem is input & output properties as schema which make create lot of 
confusion.

Since you have written core and connector in apache metamodel can you please 
provide some suggestion in writing this REST connector ?


Thanks & Regards
