Let user choose what streaming data they want

Why cant kite just provide what stream data user want ? For example let us denote each data with some code
price -> 1
open -> 2
high -> 3
low -> 4
close-> 5
bidDepth -> 6
askDepth -> 7
etc

and let user specify what codes he want to subscribe to.

OR

Atleast provide this simple fix ... Add "last volume or total volume if u dont provide every tick" also to LTP as volume is very much required for streaming data although many might not be interested in High, Low etc in every tick

    @sameer This was not done because of the technical complexities involved (keeping track of dozens of fields [per scrip? per connection?] for tens of thousands of concurrent users on top of instrument subscriptions).

    Maybe we'll relook at this in the near future.

    I do understand Kailash.

    Thats why I said in my previous post

    "Atleast provide this simple fix ****** Add "last volume" or "total volume if u dont provide every tick" also to LTP(mode) as volume is very much required for streaming data although many might not be interested in High, Low etc in every tick *****

    I guess this should be easy implementation wise.... Volume should be equally important as price in minimum streaming data. Moreover I dont have to read other things like OHLC etc just to get volume in QUOTE(mode)

    @sameer This is not something we can roll out in the current version. We cannot arbitrarily change the structure of an existing mode. We may add a new mode, or figure out a different mechanism soon.
