I've worked on the TokuDB storage engine for quite a while now. I have
had many experiences over the years, so I guess it's hard to know
where to begin. I guess I will start small, and if the conversation
evolves, I can contribute more thoughts. I think the current API is
really good, as evidenced by the fact that many storage engines have
used it to plug into MySQL. The two areas that I see we can really
benefit from are the following:

Many were written in the long-ago past. Besides TokuDB how many new storage engines have reached GA in the past decade? I worked on a custom storage engine and I am sure others have done the same, but there hasn't been much innovation in the public. Aria is also GA, but that was written by people who know and wrote parts of the API, so it isn't a sign that the API is something people want to use.

Was TokuMX easier to implement than TokuDB?
