[Flight] TiDB Flight connector
Hi all,
We're exploring adding an Arrow Flight connector to TiDB at
pingcap/tidb#21056 <https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/21056>. The idea
is that it may live alongside the existing MYSQL connector. It's quite
early but I already wanted to reach out.
One point I'd like some clarification on: Since TiDB is a SQL database, I'm
wondering if there are already standards for sending queries over the
Flight protocol?
With kind regards,
Backkem

Also, please provide comments. Real implementations of the proposal would
be useful to validate the design.

We are actively discussing "FlightSQL" to provide a standardized
Flight-based interface to a SQL database

I think it would make sense for you to use this rather than building
something custom -- that way once FlightSQL ships to production,
people will be able to access TiDB out of the box with a FlightSQL
client (from one of the Arrow open source packages)
