Adopt Pulsar as the messaging technology backing the distributed James server

https://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev@james.apache.org/msg71462.html

A good long term objective for the PMC is to drop RabbitMQ in
favor of pulsar (third parties could package their own components using
RabbitMQ if they wishes...)

This means:

  • Solve the bugs that were found during the Pulsar MailQueue review
  • Pulsar MailQueue need to allow listing blobs in order to be
    deduplication friendly.
  • Provide an event bus based on Pulsar
  • Provide a task manager based on Pulsar
  • Package a distributed server backed by pulsar, deprecate then replace
    the current one.
  • (optionally) support mail queue priorities

While contributions would of course be welcomed on this topic, we could
offer it as part of GSOC 2022, and we could co-mentor it with mentors of
the Pulsar community (see [3])

Would such a plan gain traction around here ?

Apache ShardingSphere: Solve unsupported Postgres sql about alter statement for ShardingSphere Parser

Apache ShardingSphere
Apache ShardingSphere is a distributed database middleware ecosystem, including 2 independent products, ShardingSphere JDBC and ShardingSphere Proxy presently. They all provide functions of data sharding, distributed transaction, and database orchestration.
Page: https://shardingsphere.apache.org
Github: https://github.com/apache/shardingsphere

 Background

ShardingSphere parser engine helps users parse a SQL to get the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) and visit this tree to get SQLStatement (Java Object). At present, this parser engine can handle SQLs for `MySQL`, `PostgreSQL`, `SQLServer`, `openGauss` and `Oracle`, which means we have to understand different database dialect SQLs.
More details:
https://shardingsphere.apache.org/document/current/en/reference/sharding/parse/

Task

This issue is to solve the unsupported postgres sql about alter in this file . * ALTER OPERATOR

  • ALTER POLICY
  • ALTER PUBLICATION
  • ALTER ROUTINE
  • ALTER RULE
  • ALTER SCHEMA
  • ALTER SEQUENCE
  • ALTER SERVER
  • ALTER STATISTICS
  • ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
  • ALTER TABLE
  • ALTER TEXT SEARCH
  • ALTER TRIGGER
  • ALTER TYPE
  • ALTER VIEW

You can learn more here. *
You may need to try to get why it's not supported.(antlr4 grammar? or not implement visit method) You can use antlr4 plugins to help you to analyze. You may need to visit an official doc to check the grammar.

Notice, these issues can be a good example.
support alter foreign table for pg/og
support alter materialized view for pg/og.

Relevant Skills

1. Master JAVA language
2. Have a basic understanding of Antlr g4 file
3. Be familiar with Postgres SQLs

Targets files

1. Postgres SQLs g4 file: https://github.com/apache/shardingsphere/blob/master/shardingsphere-sql-parser/shardingsphere-sql-parser-dialect/shardingsphere-sql-parser-postgresql/src/main/antlr4/org/apache/shardingsphere/sql/parser/autogen/PostgreSQLStatement.g4
