    Description

      People seem to be spending a lot of time on ColumnStore build & packaging issues. Some of the time is wasted because the build dependencies of ColumnStore are not clearly defined.

      The building phase is marked TODO in https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-columnstore-engine/blob/develop/BUILD.md

      Source code contains a binary (sic!) version of a specific libjemalloc.so (filed at https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24124).

      The CI pipeline at https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-columnstore-engine/blob/develop/.drone.jsonnet does a lot of slimming down of the build flags.

      These are signs that the current state is quite unclear.

      It should be documented:

      • What exactly are the external build dependencies? On a clean system, what should be installed in addition to the MariaDB Server and ColumStore sources?
      • How does ColumnStore depend on MariaDB Server?
      • Is it enough to have the sources available, or does it actually need to build MariaDB fully or partially?
      • If partially, which plugins and storage engines must be built?
      • Which of the following MariaDB Server CMakeLists.txt includes need to run?
