Mar 1, 2025Month: 2025-03 — IBM/velox monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments. Key features delivered: - TDigest::mergeDeserialized switched to a relative-error comparison, replacing the strict epsilon check. This aligns with Presto's floating-point comparisons and improves correctness for queries with large sums and small differences. Commit: 3696cf4069201b97634cceefebdea335e1fb670f. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed correctness issues in TDigest::mergeDeserialized under scenarios with large sums and small differences by using a relative-error algorithm, reducing false negatives and edge-case failures. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased accuracy and reliability of TDigest-based aggregations, improving analytics trust and stability for large-scale workloads; improved maintainability by aligning with established numerical practices. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C++ algorithmic robustness, numerical methods, alignment with Presto-style comparisons, regression testing, and code maintenance.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for IBM/velox. Focus: stability and correctness in vectorized extraction paths. Delivered a bug fix to preserve existing nullability when extracting into pre-populated vectors, ensuring existing rows are not marked null due to mismanaged null buffers. Added regression test and validated against typical pre-populated-vector scenarios. Commit reference: 8e96f697b115f9c38b88bf1b45c62b79feea4214. Business impact: maintains data integrity in vectorized pipelines and reduces downstream surprises in analytics results.
