Browser-accessible official DataFusion playground

[findepi]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

It would be useful to be able to quickly test queries in current DataFusion (latest release or nightly snapshot), without having to check out main branch and running the build.
It would lower the barrier of entry to verifying repro steps in issues, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like

a simple, official website hosted by the DataFusion project allowing to run queries using WASM build of DataFusion

Describe alternatives you've considered

cargo run

Not doing this and requiring contributors to instead

git checkout main && git pull &&
cd datafusion-cli &&
cargo run

This is time consuming, and discourages issue reporters from checking their repro steps.
Or project maintainers from verifying things in current main.

docker image

Having datafusion docker image and using that.
This would be pretty convenient for maintainers, but not less accessible for the contributors or users. Browser-based would be more accessible

💯 Thank you @findepi

Here is some inspiration:
https://duckdb.org/docs/api/wasm/overview.html

It would be amazing to have something similar in the datafuion doc site. Something like this:

https://datafusion.apache.org/

As @findepi points out there are at least two implementations of something similar already on #9834

These from @waynexia :

• Demo: https://datafusion-contrib.github.io/datafusion-wasm-playground/
• Source: https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-wasm-playground

This should greatly reduce the bar of trying out DataFusion 👍

Actually I have tried the "black terminal" style before, as the first version:

It turns out that this style requires a lots of logic in the frontend side to simulate a terminal, which is why I change it to the datafusion-wasm-playground looks like now. But this is not the most important thing, just to mention it.
