Can you though? The protocol is not very well documented and it seems to iterate rather rapidly with the server version that it aims to be compatible with.

You might be able to, but are definitely not supposed to. The client is conceptually "part of the cluster".

Are you planning to?

This seems to be a theoretical discussion: I don't think I'd ever want to implement the client part of FoundationDB myself, and I don't really see a good reason to.

I'm not planning to because there is no documented protocol. If there were, I might! As a result, I can't use FoundationDB.
