• Reminded to add "3.6 2018.08.24 release of q supports passing a dictionary."

• https://github.com/finos/kdb/tree/master/conn

Please give it a try and provide feedback.

• kdb plants that use service discovery like Zookeeper might find .finos.conn a natural fit.

.finos.query.ungroup[...] now available on GitHub.

• https://github.com/finos/kdb/tree/master/query

Can probably be made more efficient.  Feel free to submit pull requests.

• No discussion required.

Any further discussion on awq?

• Participant who showed interest on last call not dialed in.
  
  • Revisit later.

Any success stories of kdb+ with Grafana?

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafana

See how to popularize integration with kdb+.

• AquaQ having a webinar on the 14th.  For details, see:

kdb+ 4.0 wrapper functions?

• Functions to push / restore number of slave threads when calling new Multithreaded primitives?
  • https://code.kx.com/q/kb/mt-primitives/
• Any need for abstraction over .m namespace support for Optane memory?
  • https://code.kx.com/q/ref/dotm/

• In kdb+ 4.0 -s specifies maximum threads for the session.
  
  • Not enough experience yet to determine what kinds of wrappers are necessary (if any).
• Will revisit Optane once it's more widespread.

Signatures for renaming keys / cols?  One idea:

• .finos.query.renameKeys[inputDict;mappingDict]
• .finos.query.renameCols[inputTab;mappingDict]

• APL convention puts the modifier parameter on the left.  Therefore, the signatures should be:
  
  • .finos.query.renameKeys[mappingDict;inputDict]
  • .finos.query.renameCols[mappingDict;inputTab]

• kdb mentioned in this thread on HackerNews about APL:
