MariaDB relicensed MaxScale from GPL to Business Source License.  The license change effectively extorted customers requiring customers using it to pay for it.  While older versions of MaxScale become GPL, the license terms prohibit backporting any security fixes and MariaDB abandons each release and never backports any fixes so it is impossible to use old versions in production.

I made a stink about BSL, and I have shamed Monty in public.

MariaDB recently created a sock puppet LinkedIn account to attack me for my religious views.

We are at war

MariaDB doesn't have rewrite plugins.  

What you want could still not be done with a preparse plugin in MySQL because there is no way to speak an arbitrary protocol.  You could have a client that speaks the MySQL protocol but sends non-sql text commands that have some 1:1 match with SQL, for example MDX.

For MySQL 8 I have developed an alternative rewrite plugin interface that can execute any number of SQL statements serially on the THD of the client connection, or an arbitrary THD.  It would be possible to port to MariaDB but as MariaDB has deleted the KB entries related to my tools, I highly doubt they would upstream it, and I would expect some form of compensation/sponsorship from you if you wanted me to do it.  In any case the plugin would still not speak arbitrary binary protocols.

MySQL 8 supports the X protocol for document access.  It would probably be possible to create an X protocol proxy that speaks arbitrary protocols but that would be a big project that probably not many people would be interested in.

Could be possible use the query rewrite plugin to execute no sql commands? Something like disable sql parser and execute some specific protocol, returning standard sql datasets as result?
