Roadmap 2023

[BohuTANG]

After a full year of research and development in 2022, the functionality and stability of Databend were significantly enhanced, and several users began using it in production. Databend has helped them greatly reduce costs and operational complexity issues.

This is Databend Roadmap in 2023 (discussion).

any plan about improving concurrency capabilities? so developers can depend on databend to make some data exploring platforms (like google analystics?) on the web.

any plan about tuning the metasrv's memory usage? I've got a OOM last week, IMHO it can store most the data in the disk?

@drmingdrmer will fill the meta section, I think he will do it.

Any plan to support decimal data type? This is essential If we want to use databend in financial related fields. Will we see it in the first half of the year?

Added to the main task, thanks.

[flaneur2020]

will fault tolerance on query processing be planned in 2023?

likewise I have some spot instances, the cluster may handles a shutdowned instance gracefully and not affect the running queries.

Will do but hard to do, so the priority is low.

likewise I have some spot instances, the cluster may handles a shutdowned instance gracefully and not affect the running queries.

Please file an issue for that.

Is there a plan for when the vector index feature will be added? It is part of #10689 but doesn't seem to have an associated ticket.
