+# SQL Query Engine Feature, Dev, and Test Plan
+
+This document outlines the plan for adding comprehensive SQL support to SeaweedFS, focusing on schema-tized Message Queue (MQ) topics with full DDL and DML capabilities, plus S3 objects querying.
+
+## Feature Plan
+
+**1. Goal**
+
+To provide a full-featured SQL interface for SeaweedFS, treating schema-tized MQ topics as database tables with complete DDL/DML support. This enables:
+- Database-like operations on MQ topics (CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE)
+- Advanced querying with SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, aggregations
+- Schema management and metadata operations (SHOW DATABASES, SHOW TABLES)
+- In-place analytics on Parquet-stored messages without data movement
+
+**2. Key Features**
+
+*   **Schema-tized Topic Management (Priority 1):**
+    *   `SHOW DATABASES` - List all MQ namespaces
+    *   `SHOW TABLES` - List all topics in a namespace  
+    *   `CREATE TABLE topic_name (field1 INT, field2 STRING, ...)` - Create new MQ topic with schema
+    *   `ALTER TABLE topic_name ADD COLUMN field3 BOOL` - Modify topic schema (with versioning)
+    *   `DROP TABLE topic_name` - Delete MQ topic
+    *   `DESCRIBE table_name` - Show topic schema details
+*   **Advanced Query Engine (Priority 1):**
+    *   Full `SELECT` support with `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `LIMIT`, `OFFSET`
+    *   Aggregation functions: `COUNT()`, `SUM()`, `AVG()`, `MIN()`, `MAX()`, `GROUP BY`
+    *   Join operations between topics (leveraging Parquet columnar format)
+    *   Window functions and advanced analytics
+    *   Temporal queries with timestamp-based filtering
+*   **S3 Select (Priority 2):**
+    *   Support for querying objects in standard data formats (CSV, JSON, Parquet)
+    *   Queries executed directly on storage nodes to minimize data transfer
+*   **User Interfaces:**
+    *   New API endpoint `/sql` for HTTP-based SQL execution
+    *   New CLI command `weed sql` with interactive shell mode
+    *   Optional: Web UI for query execution and result visualization
+*   **Output Formats:**
+    *   JSON (default), CSV, Parquet for result sets
+    *   Streaming results for large queries
+    *   Pagination support for result navigation
+
+## Development Plan
+
+**1. Scaffolding & Dependencies**
+
+*   **SQL Parser:** Use **`github.com/xwb1989/sqlparser`** or **`github.com/blastrain/vitess-sqlparser`** (enhanced fork). Benefits:
+    *   Lightweight, focused SQL parser originally derived from Vitess
+    *   Full MySQL-compatible DDL/DML support (`CREATE`, `ALTER`, `DROP`, `SELECT`, etc.)
+    *   Integrates well with existing `weed/query/sqltypes` infrastructure
+    *   Proven in production use across many Go projects
+    *   Alternative: `blastrain/vitess-sqlparser` if advanced features like `OFFSET` or bulk operations are needed
+*   **Project Structure:** 
+    *   Extend existing `weed/query/` package for SQL execution engine
+    *   Create `weed/query/engine/` for query planning and execution
+    *   Create `weed/query/metadata/` for schema catalog management
+    *   Integration point in `weed/mq/` for topic-to-table mapping
+
+**2. SQL Engine Architecture**
+
+*   **Schema Catalog:**
+    *   Leverage existing `weed/mq/schema/` infrastructure
+    *   Map MQ namespaces to "databases" and topics to "tables"
+    *   Store schema metadata with version history
+    *   Handle schema evolution and migration
+*   **Query Planner:**
+    *   Parse SQL AST using Vitess parser
+    *   Create optimized execution plans leveraging Parquet columnar format
+    *   Push-down predicates to storage layer for efficient filtering
+    *   Optimize joins using partition pruning
+*   **Query Executor:**
+    *   Utilize existing `weed/mq/logstore/` for Parquet reading
+    *   Implement streaming execution for large result sets
+    *   Support parallel processing across topic partitions
+    *   Handle schema evolution during query execution
+
+**3. Data Source Integration**
+
+*   **MQ Topic Connector (Primary):**
+    *   Build on existing `weed/mq/logstore/read_parquet_to_log.go`
+    *   Implement efficient Parquet scanning with predicate pushdown
+    *   Support schema evolution and backward compatibility
+    *   Handle partition-based parallelism for scalable queries
+*   **Schema Registry Integration:**
+    *   Extend `weed/mq/schema/schema.go` for SQL metadata operations
+    *   Implement DDL operations that modify underlying MQ topic schemas
+    *   Version control for schema changes with migration support
+*   **S3 Connector (Secondary):**
+    *   Reading data from S3 objects with CSV, JSON, and Parquet parsers
+    *   Efficient streaming for large files with columnar optimizations
+
+**4. API & CLI Integration**
+
+*   **HTTP API Endpoint:**
+    *   Add `/sql` endpoint to Filer server following existing patterns in `weed/server/filer_server.go`
+    *   Support both POST (for queries) and GET (for metadata operations)
+    *   Include query result pagination and streaming
+    *   Authentication and authorization integration
+*   **CLI Command:**
+    *   New `weed sql` command with interactive shell mode (similar to `weed shell`)
+    *   Support for script execution and result formatting
+    *   Connection management for remote SeaweedFS clusters
+*   **gRPC API:**
+    *   Add SQL service to existing MQ broker gRPC interface
+    *   Enable efficient query execution with streaming results
+
+## Example Usage Scenarios
+
+**Scenario 1: Topic Management**
+```sql
+-- List all namespaces (databases)
+SHOW DATABASES;
+
+-- List topics in a namespace
+USE my_namespace;
+SHOW TABLES;
+
+-- Create a new topic with schema
+CREATE TABLE user_events (
+    user_id INT,
+    event_type STRING,
+    timestamp BIGINT,
+    metadata STRING
+);
+
+-- Modify topic schema
+ALTER TABLE user_events ADD COLUMN session_id STRING;
+
+-- View topic structure
+DESCRIBE user_events;
+```
+
+**Scenario 2: Data Querying**
+```sql
+-- Basic filtering and projection
+SELECT user_id, event_type, timestamp 
+FROM user_events 
+WHERE timestamp > 1640995200000 
+ORDER BY timestamp DESC 
+LIMIT 100;
+
+-- Aggregation queries
+SELECT event_type, COUNT(*) as event_count
+FROM user_events 
+WHERE timestamp >= 1640995200000
+GROUP BY event_type;
+
+-- Cross-topic joins
+SELECT u.user_id, u.event_type, p.product_name
+FROM user_events u
+JOIN product_catalog p ON u.product_id = p.id
+WHERE u.event_type = 'purchase';
+```
+
+**Scenario 3: Analytics & Monitoring**
+```sql
+-- Time-series analysis
+SELECT 
+    DATE_TRUNC('hour', FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp/1000)) as hour,
+    COUNT(*) as events_per_hour
+FROM user_events 
+WHERE timestamp >= 1640995200000
+GROUP BY hour
+ORDER BY hour;
+
+-- Real-time monitoring
+SELECT event_type, AVG(response_time) as avg_response
+FROM api_logs
+WHERE timestamp >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 3600
+GROUP BY event_type
+HAVING avg_response > 1000;
+```

+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+**1. SQL-to-MQ Mapping Strategy:**
+*   MQ Namespaces ↔ SQL Databases
+*   MQ Topics ↔ SQL Tables  
+*   Topic Partitions ↔ Table Shards (transparent to users)
+*   Schema Fields ↔ Table Columns
+
+**2. Schema Evolution Handling:**
+*   Maintain schema version history in topic metadata
+*   Support backward-compatible queries across schema versions
+*   Automatic type coercion where possible
+*   Clear error messages for incompatible changes
+
+**3. Query Optimization:**
+*   Leverage Parquet columnar format for projection pushdown
+*   Use topic partitioning for parallel query execution
+*   Implement predicate pushdown to minimize data scanning
+*   Cache frequently accessed schema metadata
+
+**4. Transaction Semantics:**
+*   DDL operations (CREATE/ALTER/DROP) are atomic per topic
+*   SELECT queries provide read-consistent snapshots
+*   No cross-topic transactions initially (future enhancement)
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+**Phase 1: Core SQL Infrastructure (Weeks 1-3)**
+1. Add `github.com/xwb1989/sqlparser` dependency
+2. Create `weed/query/engine/` package with basic SQL execution framework
+3. Implement metadata catalog mapping MQ topics to SQL tables
+4. Basic `SHOW DATABASES`, `SHOW TABLES`, `DESCRIBE` commands
+
+**Phase 2: DDL Operations (Weeks 4-5)**
+1. `CREATE TABLE` → Create MQ topic with schema
+2. `ALTER TABLE` → Modify topic schema with versioning
+3. `DROP TABLE` → Delete MQ topic
+4. Schema validation and migration handling
+
+**Phase 3: Query Engine (Weeks 6-8)**
+1. `SELECT` with `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `LIMIT`, `OFFSET`
+2. Aggregation functions and `GROUP BY`
+3. Basic joins between topics
+4. Predicate pushdown to Parquet layer
+
+**Phase 4: API & CLI Integration (Weeks 9-10)**
+1. HTTP `/sql` endpoint implementation
+2. `weed sql` CLI command with interactive mode
+3. Result streaming and pagination
+4. Error handling and query optimization
+
+## Test Plan

+
+*   **SQL Parser Tests:** Validate parsing of all supported DDL/DML statements
+*   **Schema Mapping Tests:** Test topic-to-table conversion and metadata operations
+*   **Query Planning Tests:** Verify optimization and predicate pushdown logic
+*   **Execution Engine Tests:** Test query execution with various data patterns
+*   **Edge Cases:** Malformed queries, schema evolution, concurrent operations
+
+**2. Integration Tests**
+
+*   **End-to-End Workflow:** Complete SQL operations against live SeaweedFS cluster
+*   **Schema Evolution:** Test backward compatibility during schema changes
+*   **Multi-Topic Joins:** Validate cross-topic query performance and correctness
+*   **Large Dataset Tests:** Performance validation with GB-scale Parquet data
+*   **Concurrent Access:** Multiple SQL sessions operating simultaneously
+
+**3. Performance & Security Testing**

+*   **Query Performance:** Benchmark latency for various query patterns
+*   **Memory Usage:** Monitor resource consumption during large result sets
+*   **Scalability Tests:** Performance across multiple partitions and topics
+*   **SQL Injection Prevention:** Security validation of parser and execution engine
+*   **Fuzz Testing:** Automated testing with malformed SQL inputs
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+*   **Feature Completeness:** Support for all specified DDL/DML operations
