Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From the One Billion Row Challenge to a Multi-Threaded Parquet Library

Q: What is Hardwood and why did you create it?

Hardwood is a minimal-dependency Parquet library designed to read and write Parquet files with a fast, multi-threaded engine. It avoids the heavy Hadoop stack, relies on built-in JDK capabilities where possible, and remains extensible via optional modules for authentication and cloud integrations. The goal is to make Parquet processing fast, accessible, and easy to embed in JVM-based projects.

Static as a Roq

Q: What is Roq and why is it named that?

Roq is a static site generator that exports Quarkus apps as static HTML; the name comes from 'Roqs' being static, with a playful tie to Quarkus (Roq with Q).

Static as a Roq

Q: How did you transition from early calculators to Java and then to Roq?

After early experiences and schooling, I moved into professional Java work, joined Red Hat, and eventually got involved with Quarkus, which led to building tools like code.quarkus.io, Quinoa, and Roq.

Static as a Roq

Q: What was your first computer and how did you program it?

It was a Casio/TI calculator with a BASIC-like language (Ti-Basic), and I programmed simple games using GOTO and GOSUB, learning how to send programs from PC to calculator.

Fast JSON and Furious Runtime

Q: What is the starting point for Helidon's JSON binding design, a Java class or a JSON schema?

The binding approach can start from Java types annotated with JSON entity, where the annotation processor generates converters at compile time; for more dynamic cases, there is a JsonP-like API to handle JSON objects without needing full schema-defined classes.
