*Meeting Notes:* Fluss-Client 0.1 Release Candidate Status: The flues-client 0.1 RC is live for community voting. - Blockers:Votes: Requires one more binding vote to proceed. - Title: The voting thread title needs correction from FruitsCand to FruitsRust. - Binaries: The RC lacks binary distributions for the Rust client. - Announcement: Two blog posts are ready: a general release announcement and a technical deep-dive on the Rust client. Fluss v1.0 Release Progress (Target: June 15) - Filter Pushdown: ~50% of code changes merged. - KBSCAN Prime Key: FIP discussion ongoing; most concerns addressed. - Multi-Location Remote Storage: Some PRs merged. - Multi-Disk Local Storage: FIP 33 is live for review. - Variant Data Type: Design in progress to support complex data while preserving column projection pushdown. FIP expected next month. - Colony A: PRs under review; merge expected soon. Fluss AI Native Initiative - Goal: Add an AI-native CLI and skills to the v1.0 release to accelerate adoption for new users. - Rationale: As a young project, Fluss can leverage AI tools to close the adoption gap with mature projects like Kafka. - Initial Scope: A simple CLI and basic skills built on the Rust client. - Standardization: Use the agents.md convention for universal skills compatibility across AI tools (e.g., Cloud Code, Codecks). LanceDB Integration Roadmap Problem: The current integration provides little value beyond fresh data ingestion. Proposed Solution: A "union read" feature to query real-time Fluss data and historical LanceDB data together. - Debate: Vector Search StrategyOption 1 (Incremental): Start with a simple brute-force search.Pro: Easy first step for small, real-time datasets. - Con: Useless for large-scale data; risks losing user trust. - Option 2 (Robust): Implement proper vector indexes (e.g., HNSW).Pro: Essential for true AI-native capabilities. - Con: Architecturally complex; requires significant CPU/memory. - Compromise: A plugin architecture (like Postgres's pgvector) could allow for incremental improvements. - Architectural Decision: The team must first choose a storage model (in-memory vs. object store) as they require vastly different architectures. Iceberg Deletion Vector Support Status: A POC is complete, demonstrating a viable design. Goal: Resolve Iceberg's real-time update pain points. - Benefits:Faster query performance on primary key tables. - Efficient CDC (Change Data Capture) ingestion. - Timeline: Design discussion on the dev channel targeted for next month. Fluss Query Gateway (FIP 32) Context: FIP 32 proposes a query gateway for Fluss. Decision: Merge the FlussRust repo into the main Fluss repo post-flues-client 0.1 release.Rationale: Consolidates community effort and accelerates development. - Gateway Scope:Phase 1: A pluggable REST gateway for the CLI to communicate with the cluster. - Phase 2: A separate proposal for a protocol layer (e.g., Postgres, Kafka). - Kafka Protocol: A full Kafka protocol implementation is a separate, larger effort that belongs in the data server, not the gateway.
