Respected Sir,
1. Thank you for the email. With the reference to the previous mail , I have understood all the points and I shall also go through the I/O page in the documentation page as well as vector DB’s, features. 1. Sir, as you have mentioned in the mail, Python is must for this project, I just wanted to ask, what about Java and Golang SDK applications, I mean I know it’s an AI/ML pipeline based project, but if you could tell me it would add to my clarity. 1. Sir, I wanted to also ask, as Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG) has a close relation with this project, don’t you think RAG is still limited to capturing historical data, or it has capability of capturing latest/modern data’s too?

I'm glad you're interested in the project. In general, I would expect there to be more details about projects once we know which ones have been accepted. > Sir, if you could tell me the pre-required knowledge (such as major > programming languages used, etc., ) for this project, it would bring more > clarity to me sir. I would expect it to be primarily done in Python, though it depends what connectors are available for each vector DB/feature store. Other than that, the main things you'd want to learn about are Beam itself, especially about how to write a sink (IO standards<https://beam.apache.org/documentation/io/io-standards> can help here), and also high level how vector DBs and feature stores work.

My intention of writing this email is with reference to the GSOC 2025 mail - https://lists.apache.org/thread/o3mwncq0k4c58c630n49l7bvhq74o2wj 1. I’m Siddharth Salian and I’m an undergraduate student and I’m part of Apache Beam and I have just joined the community. After going through the GSOC 2025 idea list and going through the project description, I founded https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GSOC-279 this project to be interesting for me sir. So sir, I would like to contribute to this project in GSOC 2025, since AI/ML is area of my interest. Since you are the mentor, I’m letting you know sir. 1. Sir, if you could tell me the pre-required knowledge (such as major programming languages used, etc., ) for this project, it would bring more clarity to me sir. 1. Sir also wanted to ask is there any other project that you are thinking about for GSOC 2025, I would like to contribute in it sir. Best Regards, Thanking You Siddharth Salian
