Google Summer Of Code Ideas
Google Summer of Code (GSOC) is just around the corner and I wanted to
suggest a few ideas.
- XMark Benchmark - VXQuery still needs more XQuery coverage to run all the
XMark queries.
- HDFS Support - Many organizations are saving data to HDFS and it would be
great if VXQuery could read this data. In addition, the VXQuery cluster
could even be managed by Yarn.
- XML Indexing - Previous work was done on indexing XML, but the project
was never fully integrated into VXQuery. It would be nice to fully
integrate XML indexing into VXQuery.
What are the next steps for us (VXQuery) to participate in GSOC?

Looks generally good to me.
But for VXQUERY-32 it is not clear to me what exactly has to be done and
what is already available.
(Also, it would be really good to understand if/how a combination of
storage in HDFS and text indexing could work - but that's probably not a
project for this year :) ).

I created tickets for each idea:
XMark: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-128
Hadoop: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-131
Indexing: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-32
Please update the tickets or let me know if something could be improved in
the ticket's description.

Hi Vassilis,
Very nice! Of course we'll have to stick to the GSoC rules the selecting
the applicants.
If they are interested they might start off by reading the FAQ at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page
to understand what the expectations are and what the goals and criteria
are.
Cheers,
Till

I agree these are all great ideas. I think the XMark Benchmark would be my
first preference.
I know some UCR students that may be interested in applying for these as
GSOC.

I wanted to get the ball started, so we could be ready for student
interaction. A few ideas are already in JIRA. I will add the missing ones.

I agree, those all should be fun projects and helpful projects.
The next steps for us be to add those projects to JIRA with a GSoC tag,
as that's where people will look for it.
I think that we're still a little early, as the mentoring organizations
will only be finalized in February.
But I think that it's a safe bet that the ASF will be in and it's good
to do the project descriptions now.
Cheers,
Till

Those all sound like excellent projects!
UCI is also running a summer intern program for selected foreign undergrads.
That might be another source of help, especially for something like the
first project.

Mike
