Abstract

Apache Hadoop Ozone provides storage for Hadoop-based and Cloud-native environments.

...

• Ozone is a new (sub) project and it's a top priority to make it more inclusive and contributor friendly.
• (moved) Ozone Community Calls are weekly calls between Ozone developers and users. This is the same call where the active developers sync with each other and open for anybody.
• The meeting minutes are posted either to the mailing list (or added to the wiki and references to the mailing list). To have an open and async conversation about all the related topics.
• Recently a new survey is initialized to make this call more inclusive. (The current time of this call is not China friendly, and we tried to identify the best way to include all the contributors from all the timezones)
• Based on the feedback we started to record the meetings and an additional APAC friendly sync is initiated.
• The pull request queue is monitored frequently and it's the number one priority to keep the number of open pull requests low. All the pull requests are looked into within a reasonable time.
• The only possible way to close/abandon a Pull request is when the author is not responsive. Pull requests are not closed due to inactivity if a committer action is required.
  
  
• The documentation and the developer process tries to make the development process easy and developer-friendly. A "newbie" label is added to issues in Jira that can be taken up by first-time contributors.
• The community contributions are monitored. And new contributors are proposed based on pure merits.
• Ozone is a distributed storage project and as is, the initial contribution can be hard. To make it easier to understand the main architecture decisions a new video series has been started for developers and/or users.

• To make it easier to understand the earlier decisions, the design docs are added to the documentation page (from the next release https://github.com/apache/hadoop-ozone/tree/master/hadoop-hdds/docs/content/design). Ozone doesn't require a very formal proposal process (like Flink or Kafka), yet, but it's a continuous effort to make all the design discussions open and transparent.
