Features I want:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Sourced kdb<\/a><\/strong> (a person can dream). As one of the top 5 tools in my programmers toolbox it’s frustrating that kdb is closed source. I can’t use the tool everywhere and at any time the price can be increased.<\/li>\n
  2. Increase ease of Use<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Block user queries that will obviously kill the database (select from quote).<\/li>\n
    • Do not quit out when a query takes too much memory (-w exceeded or all RAM\/swap on box gone.). Sensibly return an error and keep going.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Faster Speed<\/strong> – Admittedly this isn’t a strong requirement for any work I do but it irritates me as a programmer to know some easy 10x speed improvements are not being used.\n
        \n
      • Perform warmup queries and counts on startup automatically to get most recent data into memory.<\/li>\n
      • Replace the kdb\/q code with CPU vector functions<\/li>\n
      • Parse the user query and optimize it.<\/strong> If a user sends “select from trade where a=1,b=2,c=3,d=3” automatically order the evaluation of the where clause to at leaast prioritize those with attributes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Marketing <\/strong>– I didn’t think this would be on my wishlist…but if you can market kdb better I would love to stop having people suggest I use mongodb\/hadoop\/latestFad when kdb is a great fit for the problem at hand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
