datafusion-cli?Answer: “open” the datafusion/datafusion-cli project as its own top level project in my IDE (rather than opening datafusion)
The reason datafusion-cli is not listed as part of the workspace in the main datafusion Cargo.toml file is that datafusion-cli is a binary and has a checked in Cargo.lock file to ensure reproducible builds.
However, the datafusion and sub crates are intended for use as libraries and thus do not have a Cargo.lock file checked in.
