Hi Engin,
I tried looking for existing distributed data structure libraries, and came
across Hazelcast
<http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/3.5/manual/html/distributed-data-structures.html>
, Multipol
<http://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/techreports/ucb/text/CSD-95-879.pdf>
and Ignite <https://ignite.apache.org/features/datastructures.html>, among
others. I noticed that these libraries have implementations for different
data structures and need insights about which data structures will be
useful for Chapel users. I believe you or someone else who has used Chapel
extensively, will be in a better position to identify data structures that
are used often.
Once we have figured out which structures are required, I can perhaps think
about and propose implementations for them. I'm sure some basic ones like
stack, queue, hashmap, set, etc. will be useful for most users. What others
am I expected to include in the library?
