Confluent OWNERS

[FreCap]

Hi Confluent owners @ypmahajan @aakashnshah @gharris1727 @ncliang,

could you please share any insights on the future maintenance of the project/MR check-in?

The CI seems tied to Confluent systems, and it only succeeds if Confluent employees trigger it.
There are a few really good contributions that should be ready to be checked in, e.g.:

• Use batch priority for intermediate table DELETEs #206
• GH-204: use types of the existing schema when possible #205

And a few others I would like to contribute myself.

Would you accept external contributions, or Confluent policies prefer contributing to external Forks?

I'd be happy to be add as a owner and run codereviews .

Thank you,
Francesco

Totally agree!
@ypmahajan @aakashnshah @ncliang, what do you need from us?

Gentle ping on this.
I've about 10 MR that could benefit the community, included one that adds CLUSTERING use for tables. This reduces ingestion costs of MERGE queries of 10-50x.

New MRs:
#234
#235
#236
#237
#238
#239
#240

And I have few others in my private repository

In the current repository, there are many deadlocks/raceconditions causing the connector to stop consuming, or not handled failures.
After finding those out, with these MRs we are able to run TBs per day through 100s of tables with a single connector in a fairly stable fashion.

If anyone is interested, I can create a fork that some of the interested community can work on.

Would be really nice if Confluent can work and help with addressing @FreCap 's CRs which like they mentioned above community and even customers like us would greatly benefit from.
