Database kernel developer, worth a mug!!!

Please pay attention to my official account.

Today, I want to talk with you about whoring in the circle .

some HTAP The database team recently wrote an article on its official account , Recruit people interested in database kernel development to contribute to their open source projects .

What is this contribution ？ Briefly describe , This HTAP product , On one side, A Written language OLTP engine , On one side, B Written language OLAP engine .

In execution SQL When ,OLTP Functions that have been implemented inside , Need to be in OLAP In the use B The language is implemented again .

Otherwise , The system can't put the SQL Operation is pushed forward OLAP System execution . that SQL The execution will be ugly .

OLTP The product is compatible with a well-known open source database , So many functions are implemented .

OLAP The product is magically modified by an open source project , and OLTP Compared with the products , In terms of function, he is a lame duck , There are many functions that need to be re implemented .

therefore , some HTAP The database team is very considerate , I wrote two articles before and after , Tell you how to add a new function in OLAP Inside the engine .

The article also encourages everyone to cherish this database kernel development opportunity , Contribute to open source projects , Add these missing functions .

The team also said very thoughtfully , For the children who have made contributions , You can send a mug .

What do you think of this matter ? 

Let's put it this way. , If I personally write programs based on my interests , In this way, a function can be re implemented in another engine , I'm too lazy to do it .

Because this is mainly physical work , Repeated labor , It doesn't mean much to my personal interest .

When will I seriously do this work ？ The company pays me salary , Then give me this kind of work .

There's no way , What the workplace stresses is to professional, Take company money , Eliminate disasters for the company . Garbage work also needs to be done well .

If one wants to learn about the database system kernel , You can't learn anything about the system kernel through such a job .

Generally speaking , In a database system , There is no need to implement functions on one side on the other .

This kind of activity is important for understanding how the database system kernel works , The degree of meaning is approximately equal to 0.

Even as the first task to contact the database system kernel , I don't think it's appropriate .

At least if I lead the team , I won't take this job as the first task of new members .

Look at it from another angle , Why doesn't the company let its internal staff develop these ？

Because the company's own database kernel developers , I also feel that this kind of work is boring . No one in the company wants to do it .

therefore , Just write an article , Attract those who are interested in database kernel development , Let them help build bricks , Do some physical work .

A song called 《 decent 》, Recently, sister Lang is hot again . I think , This song is quite suitable for this team to listen to .

Publicize this kind of work , Attract people to add bricks , Put it with the song title , Special occasion .

Of course , This is not the first time the team has done this .

Two years ago , Because of the new OLTP The system needs to be compatible with a famous open source database , This team has also posted articles on official account .

The content of this article is to call on everyone to check and fill the loopholes one by one , Add to this system , In order to make up for the functional differences with open source databases .

Speak true , I'm not saying that people in the open source community can't do this kind of work . I just think , Since you are looking for someone to do manual work , It's better to give more incentives , Make things clear .

While encouraging, this is a good opportunity , While giving a mug of inspiration . What should I say ？

After all , Do database kernel development , All decent people .
