Future of JuliaData ecosystem

During the BoF we want to discuss future directions of development of JuliaData ecosystem. The objective is to identify priorities of development of current packages in the ecosystem and discuss what functionalities are missing and should be added in new packages.

Selected planned topics for discussion are:

• The state and future of integration databases (both SQL and NoSQL);
• Creation, execution, and monitoring of data processing pipelines; especially considering containerization and deployment in the cloud (including discussion of integration with standard tools available in this domain);
• Do we need/can benefit from GPU acceleration for processing tables?
• Scaling computations (out-of-core processing, supercomputer processing): what is needed, what is the current status? What should be the roadmap for Dagger.jl and DTables.jl?
• How can we make it easier for users to move from R/Python to Julia?
