Re: [HACKERS] GSOC'17 project introduction: Parallel COPY executionwith errors handling

1) Is there anyone out of PG comunity who will be interested in such project and can be a menthor?

2) These two points have a general idea – to simplify work with a large amount of data from a different sources, but mybe it would be better to focus on the single task?

I spent lot of time on implementation @1 - maybe I found somewhere a patch. Both tasks has some common - you have to divide import to more batches. 

 

3) Is it realistic to mostly finish both parts during the 3+ months of almost full-time work or I am too presumptuous?

It is possible, I am thinking - I am not sure about all possible details, but basic implementation can be done in 3 months.

 

I will be very appreciate to any comments and criticism.

P.S. I know about very interesting ready projects from the PG's comunity https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2017, but it always more interesting to solve your own problems, issues and questions, which are the product of you experience with software. That's why I dare to propose my own project.

P.P.S. A few words about me: I'm a PhD stident in Theoretical physics from Moscow, Russia, and highly involved in software development since 2010. I guess that I have good skills in Python, Ruby, JavaScript, MATLAB, C, Fortran development and basic understanding of algorithms design and analysis.

Best regards,

Alexey
