I cannot say enough about DataFusion...in order to build an engine that considers spatial types at every level we needed to customize types, functions, optimizer rules, joins, Parquet pruning, and more. DataFusion not only made this possible but documented even the most obscure bits. So cool!

DataFusion gets a Postgres wire protocol frontend. And just like that, any DataFusion powered system can be used with the gazillion tools that can talk to a PG database.

For me the most interesting one is probably the general space of clickhouse/duckdb/datafusion/parqet and what it might bring in the future.

DataFusion blog from Geoffrey Claude explains how to extend DataFusion to support:

-- Postgres style operators
SELECT payload->'user'->>'id'
FROM logs;

-- Statistical sampling
SELECT * FROM sensor_data
TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI(10 PERCENT);
