[Wed Jun 4 19:12:33 2014] <chewbranca>: yeah things are chugging along [Wed Jun 4 19:13:14 2014] <chewbranca>: I've been porting over features that landed in CouchDB, but not bigcouch, so there are no regressions, things like eventsource changes feeds and some bug fixes and what not [Wed Jun 4 19:13:35 2014] <Wohali>: I'll add some more context [Wed Jun 4 19:14:01 2014] <Wohali>: for those who don't know, I'm back with Cloudant as the development manager here for a few teams, including the database core group [Wed Jun 4 19:14:18 2014] <Wohali>: our #1 priority is completing the merge, and Bob Newson has been hauling ass (for lack of a more polite term) [Wed Jun 4 19:14:39 2014] <Wohali>: the 1843-feature-bigcouch branch now has all of the latest changes on master applied [Wed Jun 4 19:15:02 2014] <rnewson>: I finished the vast bulk of the core merge on monday with the introduction of a new auth cache for the clustered web side (chttpd) [Wed Jun 4 19:15:13 2014] <rnewson>: I would love to know what is broken or missing on :5984 of that branch [Wed Jun 4 19:15:15 2014] <Wohali>: the next priority for us is to stage changes from our private "dbcore" repository for donation. this will have to go through a new IP clearance process. rnewson is working with jan____ on making that happen expeditiously [Wed Jun 4 19:15:32 2014] <rnewson>: that list is https://gist.github.com/rnewson/58b567efd17ac69f6d5f/edit [Wed Jun 4 19:15:34 2014] <Wohali>: this is work that post-dates the "nebraska merge" work from march 2013 [Wed Jun 4 19:15:50 2014] <Kxepal>: #link https://gist.github.com/rnewson/58b567efd17ac69f6d5f [Wed Jun 4 19:16:35 2014] <rnewson>: for jiffy, it was just one commit so I just pushed it [Wed Jun 4 19:16:36 2014] <Wohali>: In parallel we have sagelywizard working on merging rcouch view sequences so that we can bring over things like the view _changes feed [Wed Jun 4 19:16:50 2014] <rnewson>: I note that sagelywizard is working with benoitc on that [Wed Jun 4 19:16:53 2014] <Wohali>: correct [Wed Jun 4 19:17:01 2014] <chewbranca>: dragons and serpents oh my [Wed Jun 4 19:17:21 2014] <Wohali>: rnewson and chewbranca has been doing a great job on testing porting, along with kxepal's recent work on converting etap tests to eunit (die, etap, die!) [Wed Jun 4 19:18:05 2014] <rnewson>: testing of the 1843 branch is critically important right now. anything that a) fails or b) was in 1.5 but isn't there now is a huge red flag for me [Wed Jun 4 19:18:13 2014] <Kxepal>: #action everyone to help test :5984 api iface for 1843-feature-bigcouch branch. you can use your favorite rest client for that! [Wed Jun 4 19:18:36 2014] <Wohali>: looking into the future, when the code is staged and IP clearance is done, there will be some additional work to ensure no single-node regressions, improved support for Erlang v17.0 to prevent scheduler collapse (primarily, jiffy NIF improvements), and a few other things I'm forgetting right now [Wed Jun 4 19:19:07 2014] <Wohali>: but for now the focus is on testing and bringing over the dbcore changes from Cloudant. And +1 on kxepal's comment! [Wed Jun 4 19:19:09 2014] <Wohali>: questions? [Wed Jun 4 19:19:16 2014] <rnewson>: Wohali: we should also plan/pledge some bigcouch training for non-cloudant couchdb'ers [Wed Jun 4 19:20:06 2014] <Wohali>: absolutely. This is also an area IBM has said they want to help with - documentation and translation - when we feel we're ready for them to dogpile on it, let me know. I think it's still premature. [Wed Jun 4 19:20:08 2014] <Kxepal>: rnewson: Wohali some sort of migration guidance would be helpful [Wed Jun 4 19:20:21 2014] <Wohali>: yup absolutely [Wed Jun 4 19:20:30 2014] <Wohali>: again still premature but that path needs to be a smooth as possible [Wed Jun 4 19:20:54 2014] <rnewson>: migration is on the list for sure [Wed Jun 4 19:21:08 2014] <rnewson>: at worst, it's a replication [Wed Jun 4 19:21:27 2014] <Wohali>: there will also be some utilities provided for shard rebalancing, but it'll be a couple of months yet before that gets complete [Wed Jun 4 19:22:20 2014] <Wohali>: that's all I have [Wed Jun 4 19:23:40 2014] <benoitc>: quick drop to say i won't be so much active until the 06/18 [Wed Jun 4 19:23:55 2014] <Kxepal>: that's awesome, Wohali! thank you(: [Wed Jun 4 19:23:55 2014] <benoitc>: traveling/meeting a lot these days [Wed Jun 4 19:24:04 2014] <Wohali>: benoitc: ok, thanks.
