Hi folks! I wanted to run this idea by you to see if it’s a feasible option. We have an app that stores its data in a mysql database. In order to use SpiceDB, we need to replicate some of the columns from this db into SpiceDB’s datastore. I wonder if it is possible, rather than replicating the data, run SpiceDB on top of this existing database, without changing the schema of the existing data, just by adding a (possibly readonly) datastore connector? Say we have a mapping that tells us relation “s r o” can be fetched through “select x, y from table t”. Note that the existing database doesn’t not do MVCC, but we “last_updated” timestamp on all row that could help. We may need to add some tables to store the schema and caveats but my question here is specifically about relations. Thoughts?
