[help] how to solve the plugin's complex schema?

["88786912@qq.com" <88...@qq.com>]

Hi,
I want to develop a new  APISIX plug-in for my scenario, but it's schema is more complex, the recommended way is to split it into multiple plug-ins or to keep one?
I want to get it form the schema file instead of initializing the table in it's file if recommend the latter.
Is there anything wrong or some risk in this way.

```
local prefix = ngx.config.prefix()
    local plugin_xsd_file = prefix .. "/conf/plugin.schema.json"
    local f = assert(io.open(cfg_file))
    local xsd_t = json.decode(assert(f:read('*a')))
    f:close()
    --local myvalidator = jsonschema.generate_validator(xsd_t)
```

thx~

Hello,
I don't know how complicated your plugin is, maybe you can say it more
clearly.

We recommend that one plugin only do one thing, and multiple plugins can be
used together.

I don't think it's a good idea to read the schema from a local file.
First it will affect performance, and secondly it will cause difficulties
in code management and maintenance.

I also think that this is not a good method, it will make Apache APISIX can
not easily complete horizontal expansion.
because it also depends on the local configuration file.
