hi sergei, well i start thinking about the frm file after i had a crash in my server and a aria table was read as a connect table, i removed the .frm and put another one in place, and i get my data back if i had a human readable file, that could be easier to understand
but what mariadb guys think about standards? stewart talked about protobuf (i really like this idea, but don't know how to use), what about json and yaml? i think that the main problem is parse time, maybe a jornaling in this file to avoid crash? and easy implement new features, example in json we can add a new item in object just put ", 'new item':'some value'", i don
Schemaless isn't necessarily a feature - protobuf has the benefit of enforcing a schema (XML would work too... parsing time was a concern when I wrote the code for Drizzle) -- Stewart Smith
