Goals

  • To start getting on the same page with regards to butler, with focus on what butler really is, what it does, what its roles are, what APIs is has, and most importantly what it will and will not do in the future.

Discussion items

It'd be great if each team could cover features you think you "must have" in butler that are not available today, and features that would be nice-to-have but are not critical.

10minUW 
  • Easily specify new outputs from tasks (no need to edit obs_ packages)
  • butler.get should fail immediately if the data is not available
  • Easily iterate over partial IDs for all dataset types
  • Simplify the way IDs are normalized (?), and document the system better; also preferably make it easier to know when you have an ID that has been normalized or not.
  • Handling of bitemporal calibration products including camera descriptions. N.b. calibration products can be lots of different things: objects, images, telemetry data, sky model, etc.
  • Butlerized access to logs, configs, stack version, etc.

 Architecture Tim Jenness : I feel strongly that we should have two persistable file format options designed in to the butler (FITS and HDF5 say) so that we can be sure we have a flexible design that is not wedded to a single file format.
 Discussion 
  • Carry technical discussions via community
  • Next meeting: Tuesday Dec 8, 12:30pm, via bluejeans. Focus: (a) check if created stories adequately cover all requests, (b) finalize prioritization
