I definitely like the idea of having our first Apache Release. The questions in my mind are largely related to what is the scope of the release, and why is it an alpha release? We had a stable MADlib 1.8 release prior to incubation into Apache. - If the goal is getting our first Apache release a

Great seeing the prototype work here, I'm sure that there is something that we can find from this work that we can bring into MADlib. However... It is a very different implementation from the existing algorithms, calling into the madlib matrix functions directly rather than having the majority of

Hi ChenLiang, Thanks for taking the next step to flush this out. As a whole: - naming and basic interface seems consistent with existing conventions. - names are descriptive. - references to the literature is provided. - functionality is complementary to the library. What is not clear to me is:

Re: MADLib and Greenplum Large Objects

2015-12-23 Thread Caleb Welton
This is one place, however I'd have to look at the LO API to understand if it gets past the memory allocation limitation, and then we'd have to discuss design of implementation and whether it would be implemented both in GPDB and HAWQ - which would be a requirement for MADlib. Sent from my iPho

Thanks Ted. Echoing some of the followup discussion we had over on the HAWQ mailing list Roman suggested doing something similar to what Groovy did, i.e. incorporate a maturity model document into our code and review it around how we can continue to make improvements and move the project towards g

Indrajith, Thank you for your interest in joining the MADlib project. Based on your followup questions I'm guessing the question is more about "how do I understand the code of the project" and less "what are the mechanics of contributing" to an Apache project. You might want to start by reading
