[GSoC 2026] Introduction and getting started with IoTDB
Hi IoTDB community,
My name is Shaurya Vardhan Singh Chauhan, a first-year CSE undergraduate
student at NIT Kurukshetra and a GSoC 2026 aspirant.
I am interested in contributing to Apache IoTDB, particularly around Table
Mode,
the SQL layer, and connector-related work.
I have previously contributed to Apache Dubbo and have experience working
with
Java-based backend systems, Maven projects, and integration testing in
Apache
codebases.
I have joined the mailing list to learn from the community and would
appreciate
guidance on good first issues or areas where new contributors can start.
Looking forward to contributing.
Regards,
Shaurya Vardhan

Hi Shaurya,
Thanks for letting me know you are most interested in the Trino-IoTDB
connector. That's a great area to focus on for your contributions!
Given your broader interest in the SQL layer as well, here is another
potential feature you could look into implementing in IoTDB: a "describe a
query" functionality. This would be a very useful addition for our users.
For a specific definition of this feature, you can refer to how similar
functionality is implemented in systems like DuckDB: DuckDB Describe Query
<https://www.google.com/url?source=gmail&sa=E&q=https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/guides/meta/describe%23describing-a-query>
.
Let me know if this task is a better fit for you, and we can discuss the
next steps.
Best regards,
-------------

Hi Yuan Tian,
Thank you for your guidance and for the warm welcome! I am most interested
in focusing on the Trino-IoTDB connector.
I am currently exploring the module and looking for small issues or tasks
that I can start contributing to. Any pointers or suggestions for
beginner-friendly tasks in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to contributing and learning from this module.
Best regards,
Shaurya Vardhan Singh Chauhan

Hello Shaurya,
Thank you for your introduction and for reaching out to the IoTDB
community! We're glad to have GSoC aspirants like you interested in
contributing.
It's great to see your experience with Java backend systems and your
previous contributions to Apache projects. We appreciate your interest in
Table Mode, the SQL layer, and connector-related work.
To help you get started with a suitable first issue, could you let us know
which of those areas—flink connector or trino-connector—you are most
interested in focusing on? Knowing your preference will help us provide
more tailored guidance and point you toward relevant tasks.
We look forward to your contributions!
Best regards,
Yuan
