Thanks to the help from Luca Deri, Jan Hapke, Alexandre Maurel, and Andrew Olson, we have fixed a number of serious bugs in the last release of FastBit. In addition, we also add a small number of features such as allowing strings to be used as group-by columns and allowing wild cards to be used in string comparisons. We has also started a contrib directory intending to stored contributed utilities and other programs. This directory is initially seeded with a contribution from Luca Deri and Valeria Lorenzetti called fbmerge.cpp. We welcome additional contributions.
The new source tar ball is available from <https://codeforge.lbl.gov/frs/download.php/135/fastbit-ibis1.1.5.tar.gz> Please feel free to let us know if you have any suggestions or comments. John PS: Just came across something interesting in the resume of a Yahoo! engineer <http://www.cs.unc.edu/~praveen/resume/PraveenResume.pdf> -- apparently, FastBit is being used to handle about 1TB of data a day. The PDF file has a time stamp of 11/2/2009. Guess the information is quite current. _______________________________________________ FastBit-users mailing list [email protected] https://hpcrdm.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fastbit-users
