Hi, all I want to initiate a discussion on the FLIP-275: Support Remote SQL Client Based on SQL Gateway[1]. The motivation of this FLIP is that the current SQL Client allows only local connection which can not satisfy the common need of connecting to a remote cluster.
Since the FLIP-91[2] has introduced SQL Gateway, we proposed to implement the Remote SQL Client based on SQL Gateway. In our design, we proposed two main changes: 1. New remote mode client which performs connection to the remote gateway through REST API. 2. Migration of the current local mode client. We proposed to refactor the local client based on SQL Gateway to unify the interface for two modes. Looking forward to your suggestions.
