Hi.
I know currently kibana supports only elasticsearch.
BWT,
Caravel ([https://github.com/airbnb/caravel](https://github.com/airbnb/caravel)) was started only for druid, but now extended to various datasources(jdbc, elasticsearch, etc..) .
Zeppelin ([https://zeppelin.apache.org](https://zeppelin.apache.org)) support various datasource connections.
Are there or Were there any discussion about this , kibana for various datasources, far future, great imagination?

This sounds like a feature request ;). I would submit this to github ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)), with some context and added explanation to how you would like to see Kibana use other datasources.
That said, I am not sure if there were ever any. A lot of Kibana's core functionality is very tied to Elasticsearch. For example, Sense/Dev Tools to write ES queries, or the visualizations which tie into the aggregations API, etc...
