 This document covered multiple aspects of the C API interface for connecting with the kdb+  database. Topics covered included the creation of socket connections, execution of queries, error handling, memory management, and the creation and extraction of data from `K` objects such as lists, dictionaries and tables. Practical examples formed the basis for the construction of a C subscriber process, capable of consuming a kdb+ data feed, and a feedhandler process designed to publish data to a kdb+ tickerplant. Finally, the use of shared C libraries to extend the functionality of kdb+ was also demonstrated.

 In any given application, the metrics which will determine if and how compression should be used will be informed by the individual use case. Our tests have shown that for this particular setup, assuming some OS caching, the more CPU-intensive queries will see significantly less overall impact than simple reads on small, randomly distributed pieces of data. This implies that we could expect to see acceptable performance levels for intensive queries, while achieving worthwhile reductions in disk usage, i.e. our compression ratio of 1.5. Experimenting with logical block sizes suggested that we should keep this parameter at the low end of the spectrum for our queries, or we will see a fall-off in performance. This is reinforced by the relative lack of change in compression ratio across logical block sizes. Depending on the individual use case, other applications may choose to optimize for overall compression ratio or time taken to save the data.

 As mentioned in the introduction, a key feature of kdb+ is that it is a flexible offering that allows users to extend the functionality of their applications through the versatility of the q language. There are vanilla intraday- and historical-data processing architectures presented in existing documentation that cover many standard use cases. However, it is also common for a kdb+ system to quickly establish itself as a success within the firm, resulting in the need to process more types of data and requests from downstream users and applications. It is at this point that a systems manager is often faced with balancing how to ensure performance and scalability goals are met, while at the same time dealing with resource constraints and the need for maintainability. The seven cases and customization techniques covered in this paper provided examples of what you can do to help reach those goals.

 To sum up, the proposed solution achieves our main goal, detecting a high proportion of real planets in the set of planet candidates. Also, and more importantly, it achieves a high precision too, which would save a lot of money and time since further analysis of false detections is avoided. In addition, since confidence in predictions is also provided, some other criteria based on this confidence can be taken into account to decide when a planet candidate is worth further analysis. This possibility together with extra data preprocessing could be considered in future works to try and improve results.
