Arnav Bhattacharjee contributed to the IBM/velox repository by developing three backend features over two months, focusing on Spark SQL interoperability and mathematical functionality. He implemented a Spark factorial function in C++ using a lookup table for efficient computation of 0–20 factorials, returning bigint results and handling out-of-range inputs with NULLs. In addition, Arnav added LeftSemiProjectJoin support to the nested loop join algorithm, updating output schema and match flag logic for correctness. He also introduced boolean-to-timestamp casting in Spark SQL, refining core expression logic and cast hooks. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, SQL optimization, and database internals.
May 2025 monthly summary for IBM/velox. Focused on delivering two high-impact features that improve correctness and Spark SQL interoperability under the Velox engine, with clear business value for analytics workloads.

April 2025: Delivered a new Spark factorial function in the Velox library, enabling factorial computations in Spark via Velox. Implemented a 0–20 factorial using a lookup table; results are returned as bigints and NULL for out-of-range inputs. This enhances Spark math workloads, improves end-user capabilities, and integrates cleanly with existing Velox functionality.
