- Additional Embedded Languages in ECL
Clojure, Haskell, MariaDB, MatLab, MongoDB, ODBC, Postgres, SAS, Scala, SQL, or suggest one! - Additional external data stores
Ceph, S3 or suggest one! - Cluster Deployment with Juju Charm
Convert our current implementation to use the new Charm Helpers framework (python) and add support for new HPCC components - Create HPCC Systems VM on HyperV
More coming soon - DFU Spray from zip/gzip files
Create a plugin for spraying from a ZIP/GZIP archive without decompressing the content - Implement an IOT pluggable protocol for ROXIE
Add support for pluggable protocols currently being used in IOT projects - Machine Learning Algorithms on the HPCC Platform
Anomaly Detection, Data Series Classification, Detecting fraud within stored-valued cards, Implement an approximate n-tile algorithm, Text Search Bundle TBC, Word Vectorization - Port Roxie to a different UDP layer
Investigate how well the current implementation achieves the goal of getting data from slaves to serves as quickly and reliably as possible on today's systems, and investigate whether there is a third party library or alternative protocol that may be worth consideration. - System self health check
Design and implement a tool to provide an overall check to everything is working as expected across components, from a button within ECL Watch - Provide SELinux Policies for the HPCC-Platform installation on Linux environments
Build SELinux domains for hpccsystems-platform services. - Locking engine to replace DALI - Investigative project
Research, test and do a POC of a 3rd party inter-machine/process locking engine, for example ZooKeeper, HashiCorp's Consul or other suitable contenders. - Replace existing socket-based message passing interface with an open source package
Explore if using a different message layer (open-source package, such as ZeroMQ) offers improved performance, robustness and code maintainability
