5 min

See if there are any updates on:

• Studio for kdb+.

• q Insight Pad

All

• Studio for kdb+ : Try to get a conversation going between Rob and Charlie.

• q Insight Pad : Oleg not interested in open-sourcing at this time.

15 min

Discuss Connection Manager contribution.

• Details mailed out on data-tech-kdb list.

All

• It's a draft specification at this time.

  • Code readily mined from internal MSKDB offering and custom implementation built by Business Metrics team.

  • Support for retry timer.

  • Requires changes at every hopen and IPC call since it issues its own handles for accounting purposes.

  • Intention to support ZooKeeper lookup for highly distributed plants and failover requirements.

  • Think about how you, as a developer, think the API would work in real code and toss around ideas on the data-tech-kdb list.

Smaller contribution ideas?

• Last call, dashboard integration was one idea that sounded promising.

• That said, someone at MS had a memory issue and found AquaQ's memusage.q contribution very helpful!

• Aim for a broader cross section of users.

All

• Check the Aaron Davies repository for any utilities / snippets that you'd like FINOS-ified:

  • https://github.com/adavies42/qist

• MSKDB utility to ungroup tables with string columns should be a quick win.

All

• Recent Shakti meetup?

  • Has encryption.

  • Persistence is simpler?

    • One file per day with appending.

    • Seems like per-column schema migration of kdb+ wouldn't apply.

• Any IDE-related utilities?

  • A couple of Emacs users, but no real Elisp utilities for kdb.

  • One IntelliJ IDEA user due to previous Java work.

    • Doesn't do 3-way diffs very well?

• Better utilities for HTML generation?
