Description
Apache ShardingSphere
Apache ShardingSphere is positioned as a Database Plus, and aims at building a standard layer and ecosystem above heterogeneous databases. It focuses on how to reuse existing databases and their respective upper layer, rather than creating a new database. The goal is to minimize or eliminate the challenges caused by underlying databases fragmentation.

Background
There is a proposal about new CRD Cluster and ComputeNode as belows:
- #167
- #166
Currently we try to promote StorageNode as major CRD to represent a set of storage units for ShardingSphere.
Task
The elementary task is that the storage node controller could manage the lifecycle of a set of storage units, like PostgreSQL, in kubernetes.
We don't hope to create another wheel like pg-operator. So consider using a predefined parameter group to generate the target CRD.
- [ ] Create a PostgreSQL cluster while a StorageNode with pg parameters is created
- [ ] Update the PostgreSQL cluster while updated StorageNode
- [ ] Delete the PostgreSQL cluster while deleted StorageNode. Notice this may need a deletion strategy.
- [ ] Reconciling StorageNode according to the status of PostgreSQL cluster.
- [ ] The status of StorageNode would be consumed by common storage units related DistSQLs
Relevant Skills
1. Master Go language, Ginkgo test framework
2. Have a basic understanding of Apache ShardingSphere Concepts
3. Be familiar with Kubernetes Operator, kubebuilder framework
