Using SRID 4326 in vector-datasource about vector-datasource HOT 1 CLOSED

It should be possible, but I haven't tried it so I'm not sure what the extent of the changes will be.

I expect that you shouldn't have to change the query files themselves, but the sql generation logic [1]. If the data is in 4326, you'll need to ensure that the bounds that are used in the query are in latlong instead of mercator coordinates. The other bit to keep in mind is that the formatters expect their data to be in a particular projection. The json/topojson formats expect latlong, and the opensciencemap/mvt formats expect the input to be in mercator.
