Aggregations support

[mindreframer]

any particular reason, why aggregations are not supported??

http://www.aerospike.com/docs/architecture/clients.html

Would love to see it soon in the gem!

It is in the works and will be added to the client soon.

Really looking forward to it!

Wow, look at the demand!

Moved to the top of the priority list.

Is anyone blocked on this?

Hi Folks --- I'm the product guy here at Aerospike, and we're trying to figure out where the demand for our Ruby client is. Downloads / clones / whatever are far lower than other languages.

Can you tell us what you're using Ruby and Aerospike for?

--- just answer here --- send me a private note on github --- send me an email brian@aerospike.com

Helping us understand who uses ruby helps us prioritize ruby work (higher) !

Thanks!

Hi Brian! I'm also waiting for this feature because my team and I would like to use it in our high-load Rails app. We've carried out some experiments with it and we were absolutely satisfied, but without this feature we can't use it for our purposes.

Hello Brian,

we have some analytical requirements and having aggregations support is absolute must here.

Cool, thanks for the info, and I'm having some private discussions too. It sounds like you're mostly using aerospike for key-value and need a few aggregations.

Here's the technical problem: we map-reduce on the servers in a parallel fashion, partially reduce on the servers, then do a final reduce stage on the client. Cool, but our map-reduce language is Lua.

We need Lua running inside Ruby.

Since we did a "native ruby" client (which is great and easier to use for all of you), we need a way to call out to Lua for that final step.

Any suggestions of the best way to implement that?

The most up-to-date and maintained LUA bridge is this gem:

https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-lua

Alternatives:

• https://github.com/whitequark/rlua
• https://github.com/glejeune/ruby-lua

I have little experience working with C bindings /FFI Interface, but if you explain the problem in detail, I could spike a proof of concept (maybe with 2 competing approaches, C vs. FFI), what do you think?

[mindreframer]

it seems that this issue is stalled.... any new info on this?

Still not implemented? It has been 3 years :( I really need this :(
