Description

Substrait is becoming the new standard for query plan representation: https://substrait.io
It allows cross-engine query execution.

If we support substrait, we can have cool stuff like supporting DuckDB/Spark/ClickHouse in addition to DataFusion.

In fact, DataFusion already supports substrait: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/tree/main/datafusion/substrait

I'm not sure:

  1. Substrait in DataFusion may not be mature enough
  2. Substrait in other systems may also be quite bad, so it is a second-tier best-effort approach, with DataFusion query plan as the first tier.
