RE: Call for censensus on path forward

Hi,
 
I believe Dave Perkins' point that columnar retrieval is necessary is
important. Few applications actually focus on retrieving complete tables,
but many focus on retrieving certain columns.

Thanks for prodding me Wes. 

My observation so far is that there is pretty much unanimous support for
Wes's proposal with a number of people suggesting we should pick up some of
the ideas in Dave Sheild's proposal.

If there are any other opinions out there please get them to the list. There
has been no recent discussion on the Keeni proposal and there has been no
discussion on the Perkins proposal.

I will be posting what I believe to be consensus on Monday unless
significant discussion still appears to be going on. 

Cheers, /gww
