Extending the MySQL Component Framework into the Query Engine

Author: MySQL - Bewertung: 0x - Views:0

MySQL's component framework has matured into the project's preferred extensibility surface — audit, keyring, validate_password, and telemetry have all migrated from plugins to components. However, the component surface does not yet reach the query engine: SQL data types, index access methods, SQL operators, and optimizer hooks remain outside the framework. This talk proposes growing the component framework into the query engine in phases — operator registry and optimizer hooks first (additive, no protocol impact), followed by type registry and index access method service. VECTOR is proposed as the first use case, requiring all three surfaces. The proposal is complementary to VillageSQL's Stable Extension API/ABI talk and builds on Oracle's existing component infrastructure rather than introducing a competing model.
