🚀 Interested in Contributing to Correlated Subqueries in DataFusion

Hi

I am Yash Davkhar, and I am highly interested in contributing to this project on adding support for correlated subqueries in DataFusion. I have experience in SQL, database systems, and query optimization and would love to apply my skills to improve DataFusion’s SQL engine.

I have gone through the project description and the linked epic, and I would appreciate any guidance on how to get started. Could you please share any specific tasks or areas I should focus on first?

Looking forward to contributing! 🚀

Best regards,
Yash Davkhar

Looks interesting issue, I would love to contribute to it without any fiction.

Thank You.

Hi, I am interested in contributing to Apache DataFusion, specifically in implementing correlated subqueries support

I have experience in SQL Engines, Data Migration and query optimization and have gone through DataFusion’s documentation and source code. However, I would appreciate some guidance on:

1. Where to start in understanding DataFusion’s query planning and optimization workflow.

2. Any specific resources or previous discussions that would be helpful.

3. How best to break down the implementation steps before submitting a PR.

A brief discussion would be greatly appreciated.

Where to start in understanding DataFusion’s query planning and optimization workflow.

I think starting at https://datafusion.apache.org/ and https://datafusion.apache.org/contributor-guide/architecture.html would probably be a good place to start
