Feature request: push queries.
I use these in rethinkdb because I have a streaming architecture with the compute and data in a large DAG.
It would be great if the concept of push queries was part of the features

[vivekmenezes]

Joe,

We know that push queries are useful and they will hit the roadmap one day.
We are focusing a lot of our energy at the moment on performance and
stability. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated.

I was wondering if there were any tentative timelines around the beta and V1 of CockroachDB? Looks like an amazing project and we want to start using it as soon as possible!

[vivekmenezes]

Mike,

Thanks for your interest. We are working towards beta and are focused on
improving the performance and stability of the system. Unfortunately we
still do not have a confirmed beta date.

Thanks

Do you have any update on the beta date?

[spencerkimball]

@mbdas we expect to announce the beta very soon. In a small number of weeks. That will be the turning point for stability in the underlying data structures with an assured upgrade path.

[boreys]

I hope to hear the good news soon. I have been watching this project for a long time now.

[spencerkimball]

@petermattis need to close this issue and start a new one...

[petermattis]

Yep. Closing this for now. I'm going to work on a revamped 1.0 roadmap in the next week or so.
