Decisions Made
Agenda
| Time | Item | Who | Notes from the Meeting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Convene & roll call. | All | |
| 5 min | Review and approve minutes from last meeting. | All | Approved by acclamation. |
| 5 min | Discuss authz_ro pull request. Useful enough to merge to master? Anybody want to contribute some finishing touches? | All | Question about Kx commenting convention raised again. Does .z.pp need a default implementation? No. Does nothing by default. Does .z.pq need a default implementation? Yes. Use the same handler as for .z.pg. Suggestion about including best practices to add RW users to the documentation. |
| 5 min | Discuss structlog pull request. Is this something you'd use yourself? Standardized dictionary keys? Any contributions in terms of pipeline stages? (With a good set of standard keys, could have utilities that scrub sensitive info in Prod, etc.) | All | Discussion to be taken to email. |
| 5 min | q style alignment with python? Leading underscore to indicate "protected" and leading double underscore to indicate "private"? | All | q doesn't like leading underscores in various contexts. foo._a:1 works, but \d .foo followed by _a:1 does not. `_a does not parse as a legal symbol. Although some of us don't like using \d , there might be a nontrivial portion of the kdb community who do. Scrapping the idea. |
| 5 min | Status update on HDB well-formedness document. | All | Has been updated based on feedback inside Morgan Stanley. Scripts that generate appropriate test HDBs to allow readers to verify various claims for themselves and / or support unit tests are under development. Possibly another month before a draft is made externally available. |
| 5 min | Update on "include" and "InitHook"? | All | "include" library may be pushable soon. Implementation should be MS-Windows compatible. ` vs doesn't split on "\" on Windows. Morgan Stanley should submit a KXTRACK ticket for that. |
| 5 min | FDX: Any blockers to contribution we can help with? | All | Attempt to push "include" code blocked at proxy. Probably just propagation delay for new permissions. |
| 5 min | Other goings on in DT: Data Helix (data generator) and Exodus (schema migration tool). | All | No comments from kdb+ WG at the moment. |
| 5 min | Public cloud? Service discovery? | All | Kx has done presentations on how they work with Google Cloud, AWS. https://www.firstderivatives.com/cloud-academy/ Not much use of cloud among current kdb+ WG members. Should the time come, we could check in with FDX and the Cloud Service Certification Project. |
| 5 min | AOB | All |
