Re: Remove p:log?

Thanks Vojtech for the correction,
we have discussed an "injection spec" not necessarily a framework

+1 to the idea of an 'injection framework/spec'.

Hi Norm,

If I remember well it is not just a matter of dropping p:log We sort of agreed that it should be removed from the core spec and moved to a yet to be discussed injection framework together with eg. validation of the result on a port, storage of intermediate results,... 
all driven by debug levels and user defined storage uri's...
It would lead to cleaner pipelines with a more extensive power to do diagnostics without changing the actual pipeline, through using injection

I believe that was discussed right before you arrived, so we might have been lacking proper reporting to you about it during the meeting.

Not sure this bridges the gap correctly, I invite others to correct me if I am mistaken

Cheers

Geert

Onderwerp: Remove p:log?

At the workshop, there seemed to be a consensus that p:log was something that no one used or, if they used it, it wasn’t very helpful.

It’s kind of a wart on the language. I wonder if we should remove it.

(As an implementor, I’m inclined to make it possible to dynamically select which ports to log without having to edit the pipeline and insert p:log statements.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
