8. Text Search Bundle
9. Port Roxie to a different UDP layer
10. 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.
11. Continuous Integration of roxie query / data deployments using Jenkins
12. 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
