Is mldb a full-featured end-to-end system? #965

Closed Make42 closed 2 years ago

Because of the "database" in the name, I first thought that mldb is something like a feature store. After reading a bit more it seems to me, that - instead - it is a full out-of-the-box, batteries-included type of system, where I am supposed to use the provided ML implementations (even though I can write plug-ins for the system). Which impression is correct?

My current understand is this: I use the mldb-SQL queries to define a DAG (directed acyclic graph) of data processing (including ML), the input data and the output REST ports. Is this right?

Yes, that was the vision for MLDB. Since it was acquired in 2017 the system has stagnated. It's the base for research into the architecture of ML, but I would not use it for anything apart from design inspiration now.
