10 | 4 | Tom Clegg | Some components currently exist only as prototypes from the Free Factories predecessor project. Porting these to Arvados is one of our current development efforts. |
11 | 1 | Tom Clegg | * Keep server |
12 | * Crunch MapReduce job manager |
||
13 | |||
14 | 5 | Anonymous | Some components have not been implemented yet. We think it's important to describe them to establish scope. We also hope to attract early feedback. |
15 | 1 | Tom Clegg | * Lightning |
16 | * Compact genome format |
||
17 | |||
18 | APIs are in active development. |
||
19 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * REST API is getting stable but isn't at 1.0 yet. A more powerful graph API is also in development. |
20 | * Keep client API is stable, but system-facing API (e.g., related to garbage collection) are still in development. |
||
21 | * Crunch API (job task environment) is mostly stable, but containerizing workers/tasks may motivate some changes. |
||
22 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
23 | SDKs are in active development. |
||
24 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * Rails SDK (an ActiveRecord-like interface) is not yet packaged separately from the Workbench app. |
25 | * Ruby SDK is stable but lacks a native Keep client. |
||
26 | * Python SDK (based on the Google API client) is stable but should gain an alternative (less verbose) calling syntax and better integration of data APIs with Collections. |
||
27 | * Command line tool should gain an alternative (less verbose, less quoting-intensive) calling syntax. |
||
28 | 1 | Tom Clegg | |
29 | Documentation is in active development. |
||
30 | 4 | Tom Clegg | * Tutorials and examples are continuously improved as APIs improve and stabilize |
31 | * Install docs are terse but functional |
||
32 | 1 | Tom Clegg | * API docs need to be filled in (many models are currently documented only as source code in /services/api/) |
33 | * Admin docs are a placeholder |
