[DISCUSS] Need for standard driver?

[Marc Spehlmann <sp...@apache.org>]

I have a PR out for a CLI which interfaces with the network over gRPC [1].
Julian recommended using a package called Avantica which wraps over a
standard JDBC+ODBC drivers and takes care the protocol.

The question I have for /dev is if we have a need right now for a standard
driver. I could see a use case being that for demoing QS and trying to find
users, it would be valuable.

Does anyone have comments about how to do interaction with QS?

Long time, no talk, Marc. I should've just stayed subscribed to the list 
after your last release concluded :)

FWIW, I'm hoping to rip out the transport "guts" of Avatica at some 
point to be able to plug in gRPC (or similar "hot-ness"). Right now, 
we're fairly well tied to Jetty server-side and commons-http client-side 
for the transport.

Like Julian says, happy to entertain any discussion. Looks like I have 
some context to catch up on in QS-87.

Thanks for bringing this up for discussion, Marc. 

If you have any questions about Avatica (which is part of the Calcite project, but may be spun off as a top-level project at some point in the future), I and Josh Elser will be happy to answer them.
