At least it looks like a good time to discuss it given that there is already some ongoing work on the SERVICE feature?
The mailing list topic is called "Batching federated calls using VALUES block", initial question was in April [1], latest status mail w.r.t. external contribution was this month [2] [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ebfbeb950d43ef1f92057c1c4de12bb42f3db1f4a7afc6601243c9c2@%3Cusers.jena.apache.org%3E [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7d85cad8dc54c0bf8fde73ec879a3520127d1f8f70192785d2623874@%3Cusers.jena.apache.org%3E > OK that's useful Lorenz, thank you.
