No, it's not on the roadmap. You can check this roadmap here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.html Note that our roadmap is not an exhaustive list of everything we intend to do, just a list of the highest priority items for us. -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 7:27 PM, MasterGaurav wrote: > Hi Ikai, > > That's a fantastic news! > > btw wondering if "processing pipeline" architecture is somewhere down > the line in the roadmap? > I have been working with FAST and OpenPipe, to name a couple, for > document processing... and it will be great to have such a feature > incorporated.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Announcing the Matcher API for Trusted Testers
I need to post a correction to my early example. Here's the code you should use: # First, define a schema for our StockTopic schema = {str: ["symbol"], float: ["price"]} matcher.subscribe(dict, "symbol:GOOG AND price > 500 AND price < 525", "ikai:GOOG", schema=schema, topic="StockTopic") # Note: A subscription is active if the state returned by list is: matcher.SubscriptionState.OK # After waiting for the subscription to become active, you can do the following: change = { "symbol" : "GOOG", "price" : 515.0 } matcher.match(change, topic="StockTopic") The reason you need to use this code is because you can't just pass an arbitrary dictionary. You need to register a schema to be used if you don't use a db.Model as the first argument to matcher.subscribe(), and you need to pass it to the subscribe() method. Note that the subscription needs to become active. This isn't instantaneous, but it's pretty darned fast. Anyway, here's the trusted tester signup link for anyone that didn't catch it: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dG5XNnlVWXJYWG1yS0ExV2RmTW5EZEE6MQ#gid=0 -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Ikai Lan (Google) > wrote: > No, it's not on the roadmap.
