SQLFlow Product Roadmap 2019

[tonyyang-svail]

I am trying to summarize the milestones as follows. @sql-machine-learning/sqlflow team please comment.

Engineering time: 6 fulltime months could mean 3 people spend 2 months full time working on the project.

Release	ETA	Features	Engineering Time
Alpha	04/20	Open source SQLFlow Core	10+ fulltime months
	05/20	Support customized model with Keras	1+ fulltime months
	05/20	Open source Go Hive driver	3+ fulltime months
	06/20	Open source Go MaxCompute driver	3+ fulltime months
0.1.0	07/01	Hive: local training & prediction	2+ fulltime months
	07/20	Support distributed training & prediction	3+ fulltime months
0.2.0	08/01	MaxCompute: local training & predicting	3+ fulltime months
0.3.0	10/15	Elastic scheduling training & prediction	3+ fulltime months
0.4.0	11/20	SQLFlow cloud release on AliCloud	2+ fulltime months
	?	Support third party submitter
	?	Support GPU or TensorFlow-GPU
	?	ML on image/audio/video
	?	Calcite parser
	?	Open source gosparksql
	?	SparkSQL as data source: local training & predicting

很好奇这个ai 程序运行在数据库里面

看这个日期要稳定还要很久，现在就开源是准备拉人一起干吗

Now in the MySQL(database)、TensorFlow(Deep Learning Framework) has a stable version.

This roadmap describes how to serve more scenarios in the future.

@llxxxll 没有看到支持的模型的文档说明，就看到例子中的DNNClassifier，其他模型怎么使用？ 可以有更多例子么

[llxxxll]

@shanghai-Jerry
The models currently supported are DNNClassifier. More models will be provided in the future. And each model will have an example. Please pay attention to the repo https://github.com/sql-machine-learning/models .

@xxllp do you mean "production-ready"? I agree that we are still far away from being production-ready. As @llxxxll explain, we have some features done, and we are pushing forward to make many more, including the model base as mentioned by @shanghai-Jerry . So, yes, you are right, we are looking for talents to join us! Your issues, pull requests, or any other form of contribution would be highly appreciated!

[xxllp]

yes，I want to
know have the sqlflow be used in alibaba or someplace , or it be have no one to use in the future ~~~

Close this issue as the discussion here is running away from keeping technical.
