Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform. Focused on delivering an enhancement to the Evtool index summarization feature to improve data visibility and readability for in-memory statistics. Implemented header columns for in-memory min, max, and average values and reordered the output columns so the average appears before min and max, aligning with common data-analysis workflows. The change reduces time spent on data validation and enhances reporting consistency across evtool outputs.

May 1, 2025May 2025 - HPCC-Platform (hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform) delivered significant improvements in event handling and architecture, focusing on accuracy, readability, and maintainability. 1) Key features delivered - Enhanced Event Timestamp Handling: improved timestamp normalization and nanosecond precision in evtool; updated conversions to human-readable format. Commit highlights: HPCC-34020 - Replace event offset with timestamp during reads; HPCC-34067 - Display evtool timestamps as text and not integers. - Event Processing Architecture Overhaul and Modularization: refactor to use shared libraries, decouple components, redefine visitors/interfaces, and centralize event dump/index summarization and hotspot analysis. Commit highlights: HPCC-34115, HPCC-34153, HPCC-34154, HPCC-34155, HPCC-34156, HPCC-34225, HPCC-34233, HPCC-34234 (multiple changes moving dump/summary/hotspot to shared libs, simplifying visitors, and encapsulation). 2) Major bugs fixed - No formal bug-fix tickets identified in this period; however, correctness improvements address critical issues: - Replaced event offset with timestamp during reads (HPCC-34020). - Render evtool timestamps as text rather than integers (HPCC-34067). These changes improve data accuracy and readability for diagnostics and reporting. 3) Overall impact and accomplishments - Improved data accuracy and observability through precise, human-readable event timestamps. - Substantial architectural refresh enabling component reuse, easier maintenance, and faster onboarding for future features. - Centralized event-related logic (dump, index summarization, hotspot analysis) into shared libraries, reducing duplication and promoting consistency across tools. 4) Technologies/skills demonstrated - C/C++ refactoring and modularization, shared library design, and library-based architecture. - Refined design patterns: IEventVisitor simplification and event encapsulation improvements. - Focus on performance-friendly data handling (nanosecond precision) and robust data presentation (human-readable formats).
