Minor Repo title change request #89

Open machty opened 7 years ago

The current GitHub title of this repo is "Source-agnostic distributed change data capture system".

This is a confusing title since databus only works for Oracle (right?). As someone who's trying to make sense of the dizzying array of corporate open source platforms that solve related problems (and as someone who's likely to use other open source technologies released by LinkedIn), it'd be nice if this title and probably the README more immediately revealed that Databus is meant specifically for Oracle, and that "source-agnostic" (as far as I understand) means agnostic to binary T-log formats that change between versions of Oracle.

So maybe: "(Version-agnostic?) Distributed change data capture system for Oracle"

Hi, Alex.

Databus is not Oracle only. The open source version also contains a MySQL adapter for mysql binlog.

Cheers.
