Start with it in the current development branch. If I am not able to backport that then we can talk again. On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 1:33 AM, Timour Katchaounov <timour@montyprogram.com> wrote:

Mark,

There is one thing we didn't specify - in which MariaDB version do you want the feature? If you want just a patch, then it could be in any version, but if you'd like it to be in a released version, then it should be in 5.5.

If you want it to be both in an older version, and in 5.5, then there will be slight differences IMO because in 5.3 there are few new join algorithms, and the related code has changed.

Yes, I don't think it is a lot of work. I started on it myself but don't trust myself to modify optimizer code. I think we can find a bigger project to collaborate on in 2012 -- probably something related to replication.

Ok, we will try to develop this feature (with a ok + warning) this year. (Should not be that many hours of work).
