Re: Work on SQLite4 has concluded
#2Would love to hear some of the lessons learned...
Re: Work on SQLite4 has concluded
#3For context, SQLite4 explored reimplementing SQLite using a key-value store on log-structured merge trees, like RocksDB and Cassandra.
I'd be interested to hear why they stopped. Presumably reimplementing SQL on a KV store was seen as not worth it, when applications that are satisfied with an embedded KV store backend (which is much faster and simpler to write!) already have many options.

#4The relevant change:
> This directory contains source code to an experimental "version 4" of SQLite that was being developed between 2012 and 2014.
> All development work on SQLite4 has ended. The experiment has concluded.
> Lessons learned from SQLite4 have been folded into SQLite3 which continues to be actively maintained and developed. This repository exists as an historical record. There are no plans at this time to resume development of SQLite4.

#5Doubt still exists... Does this mean 'concluded' as in "We've finished polishing the pre production code and are close to releasing it" or 'concluded' as in "We have thrown our hands up in the air and won't be working on this thing any more to bring it to production" ??!!??
EDIT Seeing as I am getting slammed by downvotes, my comment here was simply pointing out that the headline I saw on HN could be read in multiple ways. As a long time user of SQLite3, I was initially excited when I read the title as I had thought it meant something good coming from the SQLite team. Turns out not to be. That, to me, still entails doubt.

" Lessons learned from SQLite4 have been folded into SQLite3 which continues to be actively maintained and developed. This repository exists as an historical record. There are no plans at this time to resume development of SQLite4."
Right there on the web page. Highlighted in green even.

Below the fold even, after about 1000 other words of text. Would be better if the title had used 'cancelled' or 'terminated' instead of 'concluded' to explain the situation at the outset?
