Hi Srimanth, Welcome!
This looks great. I think this work is a really good fit for the HDT and its goals. In the next couple of days I will dive a little deeper into the code. I'm not sure what the process is for a larger contribution like this. Mentors, what are the options for proceeding here. In the mean time Srimant, please take a look around, and let us know if you have any more questions.
