AGENDA:
We'll roughly follow the following agenda, but its certainly not set
in stone. If there's something you'd like to discuss, or something
you'd like to learn about, just bring it up!
* Introductions
- Who you are, how you're using hcat.
* Demos
- HCatalog thrift support
- Your demo here! (webhcat?)
* Developer efficiency discussion
- Review latency (RTC/CTR; other strategies to improve our shipping cadence)
- Testing:
- how to run e2e tests
- what to run before commits
* Project design discussion
- HCat CLI – what's the vision here? Why not just use the Hive
CLI? What distinguishes the HCat-specific version?
- HCat server – what's the vision here? Why not just direct users
to setup a HiveMetaStore and point to the Hive documentation?
- Type conversions – how to address framework-specific conversions
(pig doesn't have byte for example, but MR does)
- Any other design issues you want to discuss?
* "Unconference" discussions
- Two rounds of discussions on topics proposed by the group.
- 2-3 discussions per-round in different parts of the room; just
go to the topic that sounds interesting.
- Recap at the end.
Seeya tomorrow!
