Goals
- check if created stories (see Butler Discussion 2015-12-02) adequately cover all requests
- finalize prioritization and decide on next steps
Discussion items / decisions
Highest priority story from each group:
- Princeton: DM-4181 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- UW: DM-4168 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- SQUARE:
DM-4555
-
Getting issue details...
STATUS
; sufficient to define interface (i.e. URLs and how configured) for now, although a minimal implementation should be relatively easy.
- IPAC: multiple output repositories, see below
- NCSA: nothing requested at this time, so do DM-4180 - Getting issue details... STATUS that UW wants
Main focus in the short term:
- stories listed above
- defining interfaces (text and code). Application, storage, I/O interfaces first. Remote access later
- conceptual design document, including how all the stories fit together
- pull in stories that impact overall architectural design as needed
- meeting ~ mid January
Technical discussion
- Multiple output repositories
- needed urgently by supertask
- K-T prefers single output repository with configurable sequence of destinations per dataset type
- design discussion needed, no story yet
- Pickling
- butler should be able to pickle objects (attempt to do it if possible, not always possible)
- also, butler should be pickle-able. Not clear how much state butler will keep, if/how to pickle in-memory butler storage
Action items
- Unknown User (npease) Add story about pickling objects
- Jacek Becla and Unknown User (npease) schedule butler JIRA stories
