x-pack/plugin/esql-core/README.md
This project originated as a copy of the ql x-pack plugin.
It contains some fundamental classes used in esql, like Node, its subclasses Expression, QueryPlan, and the plan optimizer code.
Originally, ql shared classes between ES|QL, SQL and EQL, but ES|QL diverged far enough to justify a split.
sql and eql that may have indirectly covered the initial version of this (when it was copied from ql);
but neither do these tests apply to esql, nor do they even run against this.esql plugin.
In particular, there is a significant amount of code (or code paths) that are not used/executed at all in esql.
