The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?
Architecture and evaluation
4. Regulatory focus on complaint handling
UK Regulation
► Complaint handling has long been a focus of the FSA, though this focus has increased in recent times with the FSA initiating a
programme to drive improvement in the quality and transparency of banks’ complaint handling
In April 2010 the FSA published the outcomes of its review of complaints handling in banking groups:
► The FSA found poor standards of complaint handling within most of the banks
► 18% of cases reviewed resulted in an unfair outcome for the complainant, whilst 36% showed poor quality complaint handling
► In most banks the FSA found various weaknesses in the culture and processes leading to poor complaint handling and also found
very low levels of senior management engagement
► As a result of this review, two banks have been fined for poor complaints handling (RBS/Natwest and LBG) with five banks
introducing changes to address significant failings
The FSA has published a number of changes to complaint handling rules as a result of the thematic review (issued as CP11/10)

5. Regulatory focus on complaint handling
EU Regulation
Regulatory requirements for complaints varies across Europe.
Although all EU financial services firms are expected to have
in place complaints handling procedures, the specifics of
these requirements differ according to the regulation
stipulated by the relevant national regulatory authority.
Financial services firms, within the EU, regulated by national
competent authorities are subject to independent complaints
schemes that deal with financial complaints. These are
sometimes called Ombudsman, arbitration or mediation
schemes. They can usually consider your complaint only after
you have raised the matter with the firm and given them the
chance to put things right.
Knowledge and understanding of relevant, current and future
regulatory requirements relating to complaints is significant
when performing a complaints review whether process or
outcome focused.
Understanding your jurisdictions regulatory requirements is
key to performing and successful review.
At a Pan-European Level there is currently a focus on
Consumer protection and creating a level playing field across
the EU for financial services. Recent publication of draft MiFID
II and upcoming changes to IMD and rules surround the sale
of PRIPs are all part of this focus.
Complaints handling has not gone un-noticed.
EIOPA – European insurance and occupational pensions
authority, published a draft report on best practice for
complaints handling in November 2011 whilst these are not
currently rule s for regulation and therefore not subject to the
‘comply or explain’ requirement under EIOPA this review of
best practice may point to a view to implementing cross EU
standards which could affect your current regulators
requirements in this regard
Best practice advice from EIOPA covers :
► Content of a complaints management policy
► Organisation of internal complaints management function
► Registration
► Reporting
► Internal follow up of complaints handling
Page 5
7. ► There are wide variations in the market with different firms at different stages. In our experience, no firm has leading practice
throughout the end to end process.
► Some firms see complaint handling in isolation and as an operational process. Others are starting to focus on continuous
improvement with complaints seen as a means to improve their standing in the market place.
► Although some firms are considering the wider customer experience, there is still a disconnect in many firms between complaints
handling and wider customer relationship management (CRM) strategy.
Core complaint handling
Core complaint handling has improved with firms
implementing more effective systems and looking to
improve quality but there are still some common
failings:
► Lack of ownership in individual cases
► Fragmented structures making it more difficult to
ensure a seamless process
► Lack of consistency in approach across sites with
different levels of effectiveness
► Lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities
Route cause analysis (RCA) & continuous improvement
Most firms have defined their RCA process with:
► Separate management information (MI) and RCA teams
► A clear understanding of how RCA is arrived at
However, difficulties faced by firms include:
► MI not at a sufficient level of granularity to aid the RCA
process
► Lack of consistency in the application of RCA
► Limited profile for RCA within the firm
► Inappropriate mechanisms for tracking and managing change
► Disconnect between RCA analysis and resolution of issues
identified

9. Commercial benefits of complaint handling
Complaints are a key barometer of the health of your business. Effective complaint handling can bring a
number of commercial benefits, including reducing costs and increasing revenue
Commercial benefits associated with effective complaint handling:
► Enhanced customer experience and potential to increase customer advocacy when something has gone wrong
► Generating customer insight, in particular understanding of what customers value from products / propositions and incorporating
this feedback into new product design and sales processes
► Ability to deal with emerging customer issues quickly and effectively
► Potential to reduce complaint handling costs through continuous improvements and improved operational management
Business case for improved complaints handling:
► Ernst & Young has undertaken research exploring the experiences of UK retail bank customers with complaints. Key findings
included:
► 18% of bank customers are dissatisfied and, by their definition, make a complaint
► Over half of complainants were not satisfied with how their complaint was handled
► Over 40% of complainants felt less loyal towards their bank after experiencing the complaints process
► As a result, banks may be losing up to 4% of their customers each year due to poor complaints handling, with even more
customers either letting their accounts go dormant or not purchasing additional products

10. ‘Leading practice’ in complaint handling
Leading practice is individual to each firm but there are three main areas that can help move towards
leading practice
► The three areas of focus that can help you move towards leading practice are:
► Enhancing the core complaint handling process.
► Building and embedding a robust continuous improvement process.
► Managing complaints within the wider customer relationship management (CRM) environment.
► Traditionally, attention has centred on the core complaint handling process. Now there is more emphasis on embedding
continuous improvement and managing within the context of CRM.
► The right-hand diagram illustrates how individual changes can help firms move towards leading practice. Those firms that sit
within the top right hand box achieve higher customer advocacy and a reduction in complaints over time.

Complaints Operating Model
A well-designed operating model has a number of key components
► Each component should perform a defined role with associated responsibilities
► Ownership of cases needs to be clear and unambiguous
► As a result, cases are handled consistently and effectively

12. Our Approach and Methodology
Assess Improve Manage
► Does your current complaint process
meet regulatory requirements?
► Does it meet customer expectations?
► Could you reduce regulatory risk by
improving your complaints process?
► Could you reduce costs and/or
improve customer retention?
► Do you have the in-house resources
to reengineer the complaint process?
► Are you confident that your complaint
handling teams deliver consistent
decisions and appropriate redress
methods?
► Do you have MI that provides
meaningful support to decision
making?
► Do you have sufficient resources to
meet increasing volumes?
► Are you comfortable that an increase
in complaint volumes will not adversely
impacting the quality of complaint
handling?
► Is you MI giving you enough
information to enable you to resource
effectively?
