StashCP go client is working and tested, and being tested by Christina now. Need to talk to Mats on packaging and releasing. (will follow up). No news from Christina,
Design document is done and is being distributed for xrootd monitoring collector NG (next gen). Shoveler is working and lightly tested. Now on to the collector.
XRootD TCP plugin is ready for packaging. Derek will follow up with software team on who to hand that off to.
Discussions of xrootd-multiuser support for checksumming on-the-fly. After a discussion, the checksum-on-the-fly funcationality will be ported to xrootd-multiuser. Copied largely from xrootd-hdfs. This does mean that out-of-order writes will not be supported.
More partners are asking about scitokens-cpp, and compatibility. Expect some updates.
- Maybe we have been doing tokens wrong? Use the `typ` rather than `ver`.
(Stalled, but need to get back to it) XRootD accounting information (from Frank):
- May need help with automating the process of generating these reports. A month only takes a few minutes. Longer periods take much longer.
- Table of working set, read, and re-read for monthly, quarterly, and year.
