All participants in FINOS project meetings are subject to the LF Antitrust Policy, the FINOS Community Code of Conduct and all other FINOS policies.
FINOS meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of FINOS and the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of, and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws. Please contact legal@finos.org with any questions.
FINOS project meetings may be recorded for use solely by the FINOS team for administration purposes. In very limited instances, and with explicit approval, recordings may be made more widely available.

[X] (10 min) kdb Studio Updates.
- Things will probably be on the quiet side for 2-3 months.
- Lead maintainers will make time to review PRs, however.
- "Find" feature might get support for history put on the new main branch.
- Some discussion about integrating Perspective.
- Doesn't look like there's a good browser widget that runs under Java GUI window.
- Could run an HTTP server in Java and launch a separate browser.

- Would lose interactivity with canvas rendering approach.
[X] (5 min) Data Quality Updates.
- One of the callers knows of some DQ-related development on his team, but not generic.
- Will keep an eye on things to see how to get it into something useful to a wider audience.
[X] (15 min) Jo Shinonome presented the geek client API for Go.
- https://github.com/jshinonome/geek
- Exposes low level buffer handling to enable load balancer that does not deserialize / reserialize the payload.
- https://github.com/jshinonome/joker/tree/main/examples/load_balancer
- Some callers work for companies where Go only allowed for special infrastructure (managed service) use cases.
- Mix of solutions currently in use: q, C++, Erlang.
- q doesn't have all the necessary primitives to write a load balancer that doesn't deserialize.
- Some related concepts:
- https://code.kx.com/platform/stream/messaging/#performance-tuning
- https://code.kx.com/q/basics/internal/#-30x-deferred-response
- Quick review shows that geek supports the older "protocol 3" with messages limited to 2 billion bytes.
- To support "protocol 6" with support for large payloads, refer to qPython3 implementation.

@jshinonome, @texodus and @ColinEberhardt 👋🏻

@jshinonome - I've added you to the FINOS KDB agenda on Monday, April 11th, 2022 - 9:30am ET / 2:30pm UK to give a technical overview of how Perspective has been integrated into https://github.com/jshinonome/vscode-q. Please let me know if this works?

@texodus and @ColinEberhardt - It would be awesome if you could also attend so we can progress @jshinonome's overview into how Perspective could potentially be integrated into https://github.com/ScottLogic/kdb-boothroyd.

Please reply on this thread to confirm you're good to attend this session.

Kind regards,

James.
