## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with high activity. Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (13 years ago) There are currently 43 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - Kevin Rathbun was added to the PMC on 2024-07-24 [1] - Kevin Rathbun was added as committer on 2024-07-25 [1] - John Vines elected to move to PMC emeritus status on 2024-07-22 ## Project Activity: ### Releases: - accumulo-1.10.4 (legacy) was released on 2023-11-16. - accumulo-2.1.3 (LTM) was released on 2024-08-12. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17. The Accumulo 1-10.x line reached end-of-life and Accumulo-1.10.4 was the final release. The vote thread can be found at [2] The vote thread for 2.1.3 can be found at [3] Work on 3.1.0 and future 4.0.0 branches remain very active. ### Planned Release Activity: Accumulo is currently working on some significant development efforts. With the release of 2.1.3, we have begun formalizing future release plans: - Continue with critical bug fixes of the 2.1.x line. - Created 3.1 branch to prepare for a feature-freeze and a release preparation. - Changes from the elasticity branch have been merged to the git main branch and we are preparing a 4.0.0-alpha release. These changes are the evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity for improved cost and performance management. ### Other: - Migration from GitHub Classic Projects. The community discussed the sun-setting of GitHub Classic projects that we used to track release changes. The community consensus was to switch to using release milestones and using new project boards for collaboration on specific topics. - Updated bylaws to align with the PMC membership change from the ASF board. The changes included simplifying the bylaw text by replacing text with links to the relevant ASF documentation and clarifying our community practices. The discussion was held on the dev mailing list at [4] and in the PR [5]. The changes passed with 11 +1 and no other votes [6] ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The email traffic reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and issues for planning and PRs for code discussions. We also use our slack channel for day-to-day communications. We continue to use the mailing list for official Apache business and remains a channel for users to contact us. ## Links [1] (private access only) [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/6jy0v0qk14163xx19ocz4l3xxc1rzr3z [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread/qwghptxc1ws2brcpsb9fd2nlftsr3rhk [4] https://lists.apache.org/thread/mlkq52wj7bmffnq5cv49xgnzfxz0rkyb [5] https://github.com/apache/accumulo-website/pull/431 [6] (private access only)

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the same time. The difference between committers and PMC members is because some PMC members have elected to go emeritus. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Daniel Roberts on 2023-08-08. - No new committers. Last addition was Daniel Roberts on 2023-08-10. ## Project Activity: Accumulo is currently working on some significant development efforts. - Improving the performance and stability of the 2.1.x line - Adding new features and performance improvements to 3.1 line - The evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. ### Releases: - accumulo-1.10.4 was released on 2023-11-16. - accumulo-2.1.2 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17. The Accumulo 1-10.x line reached end-of-life and Accumulo-1.10.4 is the final release. The vote thread can be found at [1] Release activity for a 2.1.3 release has started. A pre-release RC-0 vote started on 2 July 2024. (The pre-release vote is to validate the release process before formal releases are created.) Work on 3.1.0 and future elasticity branches remain very active. ### Other: During the past quarter, Accumulo had an opportunity to perform at-scale testing of 2.1 experimental features, namely ScanServers and External Compactors. This testing period did uncover an important performance issue with ScanServers that has now been resolved in the 2.1.3 version. The at-scale testing also exposed the need for additional metric and logging changes. At present, most of these minor issues have been resolved and incorporated into 2.1.3 and future release branches. Overall, the testing successfully validated scalability and performance improvements and demonstrated the stability of new Accumulo features at scale. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent.

Currently 174 PRs have been merged, and there are 21 open issues with 1 labeled as a blocker for the release. Work is actively proceeding on 3.1.0 that will contain new features and performance improvements. Currently, 3.1.0 has 266 merged PRs. In parallel to 3.1, work continues on the evolution of the Accumulo processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity [2]. The goal for Accumulo is to move from a model where active table metadata and table data management is hosted in active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability. The Accumulo Access library provides a stand-alone java library with an AccessExpression syntax and an ANTLRv4 grammar to enable reuse separate from Accumulo. Within Accumulo, the AccessExpression is used in the ColumnVisibility and VisibilityEvaluator to provide column-level authorization for data access.

Accumulo is currently working some significant development efforts. Improving the performance and stability of the 2.1.x line, adding new features and performance improvements to 3.1 line, and the evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. The issue concerning accumulodata.com domain was raised at the last board meeting. We have not been reporting on the issue because there has been no progress and we stopped actively pursuing the issue (see past reports for details.) The domain was registered and is owned by an Accumulo PMC member, but the domain was registered using an account that is not longer accessible. Without access to that account, the registrar will not take any action. For some reason, the domain continues to be auto-renewed. The domain clearly provides historical information and points to the official Accumulo ASF site for downloads. There seems little incentive to use volunteer's time to pursue the issue at this time. Unless things change, we will not continue to report on this issue in future reports. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (12 years ago) There are currently 42 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. Our committer and PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the same time. The difference between committer and PMC members is because some PMC members have elected to go emeritus. Community changes, past quarter: - Daniel Roberts was added to the PMC on 2023-08-09 - Daniel Roberts was added as committer on 2023-08-10 ## Project Activity: ### Releases: - accumulo-2.1.2 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-1.10.3 was released on 2023-04-13. Activity on 2.1.3 has been very active with bug-fixes and performance improvements that are being driven by community adoption of 2.1.x as 1.10.x approaches end of life. Accumulo is planning on a 2.1.3 release [1] this quarter with additional bug fixes and performance improvements. As of 2023-09-27, there have been 40 issues / PR closed since 2.1.2 was released. There are just a few items that have been marked as blockers for 2.1.3, and they are actively being worked. Accumulo is planning on a 1.10.4 release [2] this quarter as the last release of the 1.10 line reaches declared end-of-life 2023-11-01. The Accumulo 3.0.0 release was a removal of deprecated items as permitted by semver. Work is actively proceeding on 3.1 that will contain new features and performance improvements. In parallel to 3.1, work continues on the evolution of the Accumulo processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity [3]. The goal for Accumulo is to move from a model where active table metadata and table data management is hosted in active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability. The work being performed on elasticity will likely be a 4.0 release, but that has not been formally decided by the community. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - The current variations in GitHub activity are due to quiet post-release activity and work concentrating on a redesign efforts, including activity occurring on Confluence - Accumulo has transitioned from Jira to GitHub issues. The remaining Jira activity reflects closing obsolete issues. ## Links [1] https://github.com/apache/accumulo/projects/30 [2] https://github.com/apache/accumulo/projects/27 [3] https://github.com/orgs/apache/projects/164/views/1

## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity. Issues for the board: none. Accumulo is currently working two significant development efforts. Improving the performance and stability of the 2.1.x line and the evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (11 years ago) There are currently 41 committers and 38 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27. ## Project Activity: Releases: - accumulo-2.1.1 was released on 2023-06-19. - accumulo-1.10.3 was released on 2023-04-13. 1.x is planned to be end of life on or around 2023-11-01, with an expected final release of any ready-to-ship bug fixes. The 2.1.1 release closes CVE-2023-34340. Accumulo 2.1.0 contains a defect in the user authentication process that may succeed when invalid credentials are provided. The CVE was reported on 2023-06-01 and was closed with the release on 2023-06-19. Activity on 2.1 has been very active with bug-fixes and performance improvements that are being driven by increased community adoption of 2.1.x as 1.10.x approaches end of life. Accumulo is planning on a 2.1.2 release this quarter that includes items that were slated for 2.1.1, but were bumped because of the need for a quick release to resolve the CVE. A release of 3.0 is also expected this quarter. It is planned to be a removal of deprecated items as permitted by semver, but with minimal other changes. The 3.0 release will also complete the removal of potentially offensive terms. Work continues on the evolution of the Accumulo processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. The goal for Accumulo is to move from a model where active table metadata and table data management is hosted in active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability. The community has not decided if the redesign will be a 3.x or a 4.0 release. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - Accumulo development centers on GitHub as reflected in the GitHub activity (both pull requests and issues) compared to email list activity. Community discussions also occur on the the-asf Accumulo slack channel. - The increase in GitHub activity is due to robust development on the 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 (planned) releases and the work on providing dynamic scaling and elasticity. - (as of 2023-07-10) The large number of issues opened (133) vs closed (77) reflects issues being created as work on elasticity changes are identified. Currently there are 71 open issues against the elasticity project, compared with 10 open and 2 in progress issues against the 2.1 branch and 2 open and 5 in progress issues against the 3.0 branch. ## Links [1] https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-34340
## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (11 years ago) There are currently 41 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27. - No new committers. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27. The following individuals stepped down from the PMC and are now considered PMC Emeritus: - Arvind Shyamsundar (arvindsh) - David Medinets (medined) ## Project Activity: Accumulo has started discussions and work to change the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. The Accumulo Confluence space[1] was activated to host the design documents and provide a collaboration platform for developers and users. The goal for Accumulo is to move from a model where active table metatdata and table data management is hosted in active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability. Upcoming planned releases expected in the next quarter. - Maintenance releases of 1.10.3 and 2.1.1, The the legacy 1.x line will reach end-of-life on 2022-11-01. Release voting for 1.10.3 is in-progress as of 2023-04-10. - The 3.0 release is planned to be a removal of deprecated items as permitted by semver, but with minimal other changes. The 3.0 release will also complete the removal of potentially offensive terms. The 3.0 release will be a baseline for redesign work but the community has not decided if the redesign will be a 3.1 or a 4.0 release. Those discussions will occur as the design continues to evolve. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - The current decline in GitHub activity is due to quiet post-release activity and work concentrating on a redesign efforts, including activity occurring on Confluence - Accumulo has transitioned from Jira to GitHub issues.

## Description: The Apache Accumulo is a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Issues: There are no new issues requiring board attention. The trademark issue with http:www.accumulodata.com is still open. Although the domain owner does not have access to the domain registration, the domain appears to have automatically renewed, and the expiration is now 2022-06-28. No action has been required and allowing the domain to expire was deemed a viable option by Brand Management VP in Jan-2021 to minimize volunteer work. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (10 years ago) There are currently 40 committers and 40 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Dominic Garguilo was added to the PMC on 2021-07-29 - Dominic Garguilo was added as committer on 2021-07-29 ## Project Activity: No new releases this reporting period. Last release dates: - accumulo-2.0.1 was released on 2020-12-24. - accumulo-1.10.1 was released on 2020-12-22.

## Description: The Apache Accumulo is a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Issues: There are no new issues requiring board attention. The trademark issue with http:www.accumulodata.com is still open. The domain was to have expired on 2021-06-28 and had entered the grace period when checked on 2021-06-29. However, as of 2021-07-14 it looks like the registration was extended for another year, the expiration is now 2022-06-28. I reached out to the owner for clarification. No action has been required and allowing the domain to expire was deemed a viable option by Brand Management VP in Jan-2021 to minimize volunteer efforts. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 39 committers and 39 PMC members in this project.

Project activity on the next release remains active with significant improvements to the current baseline. The remaining issues are being actively worked. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - Increase in code contributor 81% (21 individuals) Driven by successful participation in an Open Source Hackathon for Diversity (April 29-30) The goal of the Hackathon was to kick-start involvement in the OSS community and foster an environment for contributions and increase the diversity of the OSS communities. Overall, 6 new contributors successfully submitted code contributions as part of the Hackathon. - Mailing list / GitHub activity. The continued decreases in mailing list activity reflect the community leveraging GitHub for community collaboration. - Jira Activity (65 issues closed, 66% increase). The increase in Jira activity reflects transition to using GitHub issues as obsolete issues are closed and open issues are transitioned to GitHub issues.

Previously, certain internal classes were necessary for users for some functions (iterators) - the interface has been extracted and formally declared as part of the Accumulo public API. - The Apache Accumulo PMC agreed to participate in an Open Source Hackathon for Diversity (April 29-30) The goal of the hackathon is to kick-start involvement in the OSS community and foster an environment for contributions and increase the diversity of the OSS communities. Event details at: [open source hackathon]( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-source-hackathon-tickets-150583967701) ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. - Decreases in Jira and dev mailing list activity reflect the community transition to using GitHub as a focal point for development. This is reflected in the increased activity for PRs and GitHub issues. - contributions from 14 individuals reflecting continued community involvement and consistent participation.
## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. ## Issues: Trademark issue with http://www.accumulodata.com: The owner of no longer has access to the email used to register the domain, and the registrar will not accept communications from alternate accounts. Currently, the domain is set to expire on 2021-06-28, and without access by the owner, should automatically expire. The Accumulo PMC is currently trying to determine if other actions are required. Initial emails are at [1] and follow-up discussions at [4]. Advice received Brand Management VP suggested that allowing the domain to expire in 6 months is a viable option and allows volunteer efforts to be put towards better uses. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 38 committers and 38 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Ed Coleman approved on 2020-11-18 as PMC Chair and Vice President of Apache Accumulo. - Jeffrey Manno was added to the PMC on 2020-11-01 - Jeffrey Manno was added as committer on 2020-11-02 ## Project Release Activity: - accumulo-1.10.1 was released on 2020-12-22 [2] - accumulo-2.0.1 was released on 2020-12-24. [3] ## Project Activity: - CVE-2020-17533 [5] was reported on 2020-12-09 and resolved within 14 days. The CVE concerned allowed authenticated users to perform certain administrative operations without having the appropriate permissions. - Project activity on the next release remains active with significant improvements to the current baseline. The remaining issues are being actively worked. - There is community interest in improving support for cloud computing platforms (AWS, Azure) and alternate files systems. ## Community Health: - Mailing list participation and GitHub issues are consistent. - The large JIRA activity increase reflects migration or closing old JIRA issues in favor of using GitHub for issue tracking. - 3 new contributors, each from different organizations showing continued interest from a diverse community: - Szabolcs Bukros [Cloudera](https://www.cloudera.com/) - Seth Falco [Elypia](https://elypia.org/en-US/) - Dominic Garguilo [Arctic Slope Regional Corp](https://www.asrc.com/) ## Links [2]:https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r947a56c98d0a8e009fa93df3b19e93761bfea8b236f30fb0c21b1992%40%3Cuser.accumulo.apache.org%3E [3]:https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r38b0920499c9c88de282ca783debb9fbb8dc8ed88f5fc0ad9981bf97%40%3Cuser.accumulo.apache.org%3E [5]:https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-17533

## Description: The Apache Accumulo sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, scalable, high performance data storage system that features cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. ## Issues: We continue to track the redirect or shutdown of http://www.accumulodata.com. The owner is still trying to reach an actual person at Amazon to figure out the appropriate account that was used and reactivate it. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (9 years ago) There are currently 37 committers and 37 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Arvind Shyamsundar on 2020-04-15. - No new committers. Last addition was Arvind Shyamsundar on 2020-04-16. ## Project Activity: - We completed our rename of our git branch to 'main' [2] and have begun making changes to transition away from other potentially harmfully terminology such as renaming out 'master' component to 'manager' [3]. This effort will take some time and potentially several releases to complete. - Apache Accumulo 1.10 was completed, our first LTM or Long Term Maintenance release [4]. ## Community Health: - Christopher Tubbs updated all our projects [5] with the tag #hacktober to increase community participation as part of Digital Ocean's Hacktoberfest [6]. Hard to track actual metrics as a result of this change, but we have added 5 new contributors since the last report and 2 in the past week [7]. - Mailing list particpation and github issues are at least consistent, perhaps slightly increased.

There was nothing of note posted from the meetings in Jul, Sep or Aug. ## Community Health: Activity in the community remains pretty constant. The exception is that the user list felt like it had a little more activity over the past quarter which is supported by the metrics showing a 195% increase in emails (59 compared to 20). Many of those emails were people new to the community asking questions or getting support. We have also been attempting to encourage participation among newcomers by inviting them to subscribe and introduce themselves on the dev list.

It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Summary The project is active and there are no Board-level issues at this time. We have made no new releases since the previous report and have added two committers/PMC members. We forgot to mention in our last report that our trademark registration for ACCUMULO in the US has been granted! We also amicably resolved a trademark issue with the GitHub organization "accumulo" [1]. Releases There have been no new releases since the last report. The latest release was version 1.6.6 on 9/18/2016. Activity The number of subscribers to the dev list and the user list has decreased slightly. User list activity has increased slightly, while activity for other mailing lists has decreased from the previous quarter. Activity is still generally strong. In the past 3 months, there have been 81 commits to the master branch from 14 authors, 5 of whom are not yet committers. We have not begun release planning for our next release, but have 63 of 122 issues resolved towards a 1.7.3 release, 31 issues resolved for the 1.8 branch, and 58 issues resolved for the master (2.0) branch. Community Mike Miller was added as a committer and PMC member on 10/24/2016. Mike Walch was added as a committer and PMC member on 11/3/2016. Branding We noticed that the "accumulo" organization on GitHub did not meet third party branding guidelines. After we discussed this with the owners of the organization, they transferred control of the organization to the Apache Accumulo PMC and moved all third party repositories that had been associated with the organization.

Version 1.6.6 has been released and we have ceased active development on the 1.6 release line. We will only make another 1.6 release if a severe issue requires it, and this will be the last release line to support Java 6 and Hadoop 1.x. Version 1.8.0 was released, our first significant, non-bugfix release since May 2015. There was a discussion about dropping Java 7 support for this release, but ultimately we decided to push that off until the next major release. The third annual Apache Accumulo Summit took place on October 11, 2016 (http://accumulosummit.com) and was very successful, with two tracks of talks and over 200 attendees.

The Apache Accumulo sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, scalable, high performance data storage system that features cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Summary The project is active and there are no Board-level issues at this time. Two new committers have been added since the previous report. We have made two releases and have overhauled the license and notice files so that each release artifact has its own tailored license and notice (as opposed to a single all-encompassing L&N for all). Releases Version 1.6.4 was released on 10/3/2015. Version 1.5.4 was released on 9/20/2015. Activity The number of subscribers to the user list increased by 4 to 395 and the number of subscribers to the dev list decreased by 6 to 225. Mailing list activity has been lower than in the previous quarter, but lists are still active. In the past 3 months, there have been 226 commits to the master branch from 13 authors, 4 of whom are not yet committers. After the recent release of 1.5.4, we have retired the 1.5 branch. For the upcoming 1.7.1 release, 108 of 149 issues have been resolved. Community Dylan Hutchison and Russ Weeks were added as committers and PMC members on 10/7/2015.

The Apache Accumulo sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, scalable, high performance data storage system that features cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Releases Version 1.6.1 was released on 9/24/2014. No releases have been made since the last report. Activity For the first time, the numbers of subscribers to both the dev and user lists have decreased slightly. The dev and commits lists are maintaining steady activity, while the user list activity has decreased. The average number of messages per month for August - December 2014 is roughly half that of the preceding six months. Most months, we are still seeing upwards of 70 messages per month to the user list. We are planning to release 1.6.2 very soon and 1.7.0 moderately soon. Community Sean Busbey was added as a committer and PMC member on 1/09/2014. No new committers have been added since the last report, but we are actively discussing how to grow our community. The second annual Accumulo conference has been scheduled for April [1]. In late November into December we experienced what might have been our first vehement disagreement over a code change. The issue was ultimately resolved amicably. One notable outcome of the process was a decision by our community to adopt semantic versioning 2.0 for our releases. [1]: http://accumulosummit.com/

Community Sean Busbey was added as a committer and PMC member on 1/09/2014. Over recent months we have engaged in much discussion regarding codifying our bylaws, which has resulted in [1]. The initial version has been approved by vote [2]. Since there was majority, but not resounding approval, we are in the process of making clarifications and adjustments. It is largely a recording of our previously accepted practices, with a few exceptions, one of which is that we have added some structure around release planning that we hope will tighten our release process for major releases. Also, we look forward to the first ever Accumulo Summit on June 12th [3]. [1]: http://accumulo.apache.org/bylaws.html [2]: http://s.apache.org/YSn [3]: http://accumulosummit.com

November and December 2013 marked our highest ever number of commits per month (though there has been an overall increase in commit count due to our switch to git). The feature freeze date for 1.6.0 has passed. We are still working out bugs in the new features and anticipate a release in about a month. New releases for the 1.4 and 1.5 branches will also be prepared in this timeframe. Community Bill Havanki was added as a committer and PMC member on 1/05/2014.

We have voted on a process to take if there is disagreement about whether a major feature has been tested enough at the feature freeze date to be included in the release, as we had difficulty in 1.5.0 with incomplete features coming in and extending the testing cycle unreasonably. We have successfully switched from svn to git. Community No new committers since the last report. Mike Drob was added as a committer on 6/27/2013.

I was momentarily concerned until I verified that we only lost 7 subscribers overall since the last report, and that the rest of those 42 either switched to the dev list or were already subscribed there. Development is active. We have set a feature freeze date for version 1.5.0 of January 18th, after which we plan a month of testing before release. Community Drew Farris was added as a new committer on 11/01/2012. (Non-)Issues A friend of Accumulo who is not involved with the project was using the Twitter account @ApacheAccumulo. We asked if he would be willing to donate the account to the PMC, and he graciously agreed. In early December, the Senate passed a version of the 2013 NDAA that contained a section prohibiting use of Accumulo by some parts of the government unless Accumulo was deemed to be a successful open source project. The version of the bill the House had passed did not contain this section, and when the differences between the two versions were reconciled the Accumulo section was removed [1][2][3]. Last week, the President signed the bill, which we can hope brings an end to Accumulo-related legislation.

The PMC voted on 08/07/2012 that all current and future committers should be invited to be PMC members. In addition to the new committers, there has been an increase in community diversity as three committers from the same organization (NSA) have moved to two different organizations (Sqrrl and Hortonworks). Issues It is still uncertain whether the bill affecting Accumulo will be passed in the Senate (see Section 929 of [1]). There has been no further activity or press since the Wired article [2] that came out in July just after our last board report. Most articles focus on other controversial aspects of the 2013 NDAA.
