Open Source Worth Watching Right Now (5) Data and ML Pipelines
A data pipeline is not something a single scheduler solves. Ingestion, transformation, orchestration, execution engines, the model lifecycle, and search stores have each become the territory of a different tool. This pos

As of Elasticsearch 9.4 (2026-05-05), the default index type for float vectors changed to bbqdisk — a disk-based IVF index. In under a year the default moved from int8hnsw to bbqhnsw and then, a second time, to a disk in
