Report content
Incubator PMC report for December 2016 The Apache Incubator is the entry path into the ASF for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the Foundation's efforts. There are currently 65 podlings incubating, another record high. There were seven releases published in the month of November. There were seven new IPMC members elected and one member who left. * Community New IPMC members: - Kasper Sørensen - Willem Ning Jiang - Luke Han - Par Niclas Hedhman - Jukka Zitting - Stian Soiland-Reyes - Kasper Sørensen People who left the IPMC: - Sean Busbey * New Podlings - RocketMQ - OpenWhisk - Weex * Graduations The board has motions for the following: - Beam - Eagle The following have already graduated into sub-projects: - CommonsRDF -> Apache Commons RDF * Releases The following releases entered distribution during the month of November: - Apache Ranger 0.6.2-incubating 2016-11-08 - Apache Streams 0.4-incubating 2016-11-10 - Apache SystemML 0.11.0-incubating 2016-11-12 - Apache CommonsRDF 0.3.0-incubating 2016-11-15 - Apache CarbonData 0.2.0-incubating 2016-11-19 - Apache Metron 0.3.0-incubating 2016-11-28 - Apache Gearpump 0.8.2-incubating 2016-11-28 * IP Clearance - None * Legal / Trademarks - None * Infrastructure - None * Miscellaneous - Work has begun on updating Apache Incubator documentation to better align with current infrastructure requirements and provide better guidelines to new podlings on how to get setup. * Credits - Report Manager: John D.

Annotator has been incubating since 2016-08-30. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Achieving active development cadence 2. Attracting new contributors 3. Establishing presence (web, repo, activity) Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Beginning work within the ASF has been slow (and rather confusing). Mailing list activity has improved, but still low volume. Development priorities are still being discussed. We do now have repositories for code and the website, but are blocked by needing access to them--the request as been made to the general@incubator list. However, we have successfully gotten Jira and Confluence setup for the project and have a promotional web page ready and waiting once access has been granted. Making the incubation process clearer (and ideally more automated) would have saved a lot of time and confusion. That said, our Champion (Daniel Gruno), has been most helpful in helping us navigate. How has the community developed since the last report? Discussions have begun on development priorities. Infrastructure helped us resolve some outstanding project setup needs (Jira, Confluence, and git for the web site and code). Once the site is online, we intend to promote the community more and make concrete plans out of the proposals made on the mailing list so far. How has the project developed since the last report? Same as above. Mostly discussion and infrastructure/access setup--some still in progress. Date of last release: None. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? None since start of incubation. Signed-off-by: [*](annotator) Nick Kew [ ](annotator) Brian McCallister [ ](annotator) Daniel Gruno [ ](annotator) Jim Jagielski Shepherd/Mentor notes: Drew Farris (shepherd): One mentor active on mailing lists and another's assistance is referenced in the board report. Annotator is still getting off the ground. Observed recent mailing list activity seeking to set a path forward for the project. -------------------- AriaTosca ARIA TOSCA project offers an easily consumable Software Development Kit(SDK) and a Command Line Interface(CLI) to implement TOSCA(Topology and Orchestration Specification of Cloud Applications) based solutions. AriaTosca has been incubating since 2016-08-27. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the community and enroll new committers. 2. Have frequent Release cycles to be compliant with the Apache Way. 3. Publish "How To Contribute" guide at ARIA-TOSCA Website. 4. Update ARIA website acording to ASF guideline(Include release process for ARIA-TOSCA Project) Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? There's an INFRA jira we created over a month ago which has yet to be addressed - please see here INFRA-12733 - Ability to create a Sprint Board for AriaTosca WAITING FOR USER It is not entirely critical for the project's progress, but it could be helpful if we indeed get a sprint board and the other things requested in that issue. Update: the ticket is now in progress. How has the community developed since the last report? * Open-O is in process for consuming the ARIA ASF package * Cloudfiy is in process for consuming the ARIA ASF package as well. * Need to work on building the community and accepting external contributions. How has the project developed since the last report? * TOSCA parser migrated into ASF * CI on Appveyor, Jenkins * Sphinx documentation added to the project * CLIs of workflow engine and parser coalesced * TOSCA CSAR packager added * APIs for workflows, operations * Workflow engine task retry support * Workflow engine execution cancel support Date of last release: No Releases yet When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Project is still functioning with the initial set of committers. Signed-off-by: [X](ariatosca) Suneel Marthi [X](ariatosca) John D. Ament [ ](ariatosca) Jakob Homan Shepherd/Mentor notes: John D. Ament: The podling is still getting its feet wet. Discussions are starting to happen on the mailing lists rather than in physical offices which is good and will help to bring about a more diverse community. I would also strongly encourage the podling to work with their mentors to get infra changes in to avoid confusion. -------------------- Atlas Apache Atlas is a scalable and extensible set of core foundational governance services that enables enterprises to effectively and efficiently meet their compliance requirements within Hadoop and allows integration with the complete enterprise data ecosystem. Atlas has been incubating since 2015-05-05. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Podling name search is pending. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No specific issues at this time to report. How has the community developed since the last report? 1. We have added 3 new committers since the last report from different organizations. About 10 new contributors have been added since the last report. The current number of contributors is around 70. 2. The activity on the atlas-dev mailing list stands at around 610 messages per month between September and November [1] 3. People across various organizations are interested in exploring Atlas. We have received comments and suggestions from people who are evaluating Atlas for their governance requirements [5] How has the project developed since the last report? 1. We are working towards a 0.8-incubating release in the next couple of months. This upcoming release would include major features like structured high level REST APIs, entity creation/updation from Atlas UI,DSL Search improvements, Atlas Hook support for Hive2, Knox SSO support for Atlas, addition of user defined and system attributes to entities 2. An abstraction layer has been added to make Atlas agnostic to the underlying graph database version 3. A total of 186 issues were reported between Sep 1st 2016 and Nov 30th 2016. 122 issues have been resolved in the same time [2][3] Date of last release: 2016-07-09: 07-incubating [4] When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 1. The PPMC voted and elected 3 new members as committers to the project on 2016-10-20: Madhan Neethiraj, Jeffrey Hagelberg and Vimal Sharma.

Date of last release: htrace-4.2.0 October 6th, 2016 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? +Mike Drob (mdrob) October 3rd, 2016 - Committer+PMC Member Signed-off-by: [x](htrace) Jake Farrell [ ](htrace) Todd Lipcon [ ](htrace) Lewis John Mcgibbney [ ](htrace) Andrew Purtell [x](htrace) Billie Rinaldi [x](htrace) Michael Stack -------------------- log4cxx2 Logging for C++. N.B. This is a reboot of the Log4cxx podling which previously graduated. log4cxx2 has been incubating since 2013-12-09. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Create a release 2. Activate some community 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? There was a discussion in the first quarter of the year to move the project to attic unless it is able to release in the next few months. No release happened since then. Currently it seems that there's only one official project member with commit access left and even though some contributor worked on fixing the release process, that project member was unable to invest the necessary time to create a release yet. For that reason, the left member decided to not even care anymore about a release and published this decision on the dev mailing list of the project. While the member is still willing to provide some support and would regret a move of the project to attic, creating a release has no priority nor is seen as strictly necessary and will therefore most likely always prioritize lower than other tasks. How has the community developed since the last report? 3 support questions, no new project members. There was a lengthy discussion about switching to C++ standard smart pointers with possibly breaking the API, the influence of such an approach on a release etc. Some bugs have been created to coordinate that work. Robert Middleton started to move the project to smart pointers using boost or std::shared_ptr in a private GitHub repo. He's actually changing more code than the one left official project member. https://github.com/rm5248/log4cxx-testing/tree/smart_pointers Date of last release: 2008-04-03 was the last official, pre-incubation 0.10.0 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Signed-off-by: [X](log4cxx2) Ralph Goers Shepherd/Mentor notes: Ralph Goers: The Log4j PMC will need to have a discussion about the state of this project. Since Log4cxx2 was always intended to be a subproject of the Logging project moving it to the attic may or may not be the right move. Instead, it might just become a "dormant" subproject. -------------------- Mnemonic Apache Mnemonic is an advanced hybrid memory storage oriented library, we've proposed a non-volatile/durable Java object model and durable computing service that bring several advantages to significantly improve the performance of massive real-time data processing/analytics. developers are able to use this library to design their cache-less, SerDe-less and native-direct computing high performance applications. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Apache releases: we have release version 0.3.0-incubating 2. Improved dev. docker to facilitate development. 3. provided information to potential customers e.g. bank user, other project's Apache committers Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? Our last report was in April. Since then * Two more developers are going to join our community. * We need to encourage more discussion on the dev list in the coming months How has the project developed since the last report? * Added durable native sorting service (n-dim linked data) with testcases * Removed the 3rd Maven repository and use Maven central repository only * DOM and DNCS could apply to volatile memory service except fixed k-v store * Added a bench workload to verify the benefits from DNCS with scripts, generator * Added a sys-vmem service that makes it possible to utilize system memory for DNCS in an unified way * Added a script to bundle signed portable artifacts for maven repository submitting * and other bugfixes, features, improvements Date of last release: 2016-10-21 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? None Signed-off-by: [X](mnemonic) Patrick Hunt [ ](mnemonic) Andrew Purtell [ ](mnemonic) James Taylor [X](mnemonic) Henry Saputra -------------------- MRQL MRQL is a query processing and optimization system for large-scale, distributed data analysis, built on top of Apache Hadoop, Hama, Spark, and Flink. MRQL has been incubating since 2013-03-13. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Increase the number of active committers 2. Increase adoption, expand user community, and increase user list activity Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? There was one new developer who developed the new evaluation mode for MRQL that runs on top of Apache Storm. There were no new committers since our last report. How has the project developed since the last report? A new evaluation mode for MRQL queries was developed based on Apache Storm (using the Trident API). MRQL can now process stream queries on a single stream using Storm, but will be soon be extended to support multiple streams. Date of last release: 2016-03-02 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2014-04-17 Signed-off-by: [X](mrql) Alan Cabrera [ ](mrql) Edward J. Yoon [ ](mrql) Mohammad Nour El-Din Shepherd/Mentor notes: Alan Cabrera: Not a huge amount of activity but at least there's a small consistent trickle. I think that the fact that someone was interested in adding an Apache Storm adapter speaks somewhat to the viability of the project. -------------------- Myriad Myriad enables co-existence of Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos together on the same cluster and allows dynamic resource allocations across both Hadoop and other applications running on the same physical data center infrastructure. Myriad has been incubating since 2015-03-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Expand user/contributor/committer community 2. Gather more support from Hadoop and Mesos vendors 3. Release new versions (0.3 in progress), with more enterprise features Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? * dev@ mailing list had 73 messages since the last report. 2 new correspondents. * Bi-weekly dev syncs with 2-3 participants. Some cancelled due to lack of attendance. Minutes at http://s.apache.org/8kF * Myriad presented at HadoopWorld/Strata NYC. How has the project developed since the last report? * Myriad 0.3.0 in progress. * 1 commit/PR merged and 2 JIRAs resolved. * Myriad submitted to DC/OS Universe: https://github.com/mesosphere/universe/pull/841 Date of last release: 2016-06-20 myriad-0.2.0-incubating When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2016-06-16 Yuliya Feldman Signed-off-by: [ ](myriad) Benjamin Hindman [x](myriad) Danese Cooper - https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/f7635ace681984cacfca6692a35221ede0000bcc70f4fcfc990433e9@%3Cdev.myriad.apache.org%3E [x](myriad) Ted Dunning [ ](myriad) Luciano Resende Shepherd/Mentor notes: johndament: I am concerned about lack of engagement in this podling. Mentors need to be a bit more engaged and repsonsive. -------------------- NetBeans NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application framework. NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Licensing, i.e., identifying and solving GPL-related code. 2. Coming up with a process of contributing code that makes sense to everyone. 3. Working on roadmaps, features, and plans together as a community. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? Discussed CCLA/SGA on the dev mailing list. Discussed existing mailing lists migration plan to Apache: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists+migration How has the project developed since the last report? CCLA and SGA still in the process of being approved and signed by Oracle, which will also apply the copyright headers as instructed on the dev mailing list. Started initial code cleanup analysis https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+NetBeans+Structure Oracle has already agreed to relicense the Graal.js parser under the Apache license.
