I came here to ask this question. It's a really solid technical article. But apart from the sake of doing it, why would anyone ever want to? I'm not suggesting there's no scenario in which one would want to build a SQL database using Kafka, I'm just asking if anybody knows of one.

One use case for Kafka is log aggregation. Using SQL to analyze logs would be one use case.
