## 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. 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. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (12 years ago) There are currently 42 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. 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 committer 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 2023-08-09. - No new committers. Last addition was Daniel Roberts on 2023-08-10. ## Project Activity: ### 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. The Accumulo 1-10.x line has reached end-of-life and Accumulo-1.10.4 is the final release. The vote thread can be found at [1] Activity on the next release of 2.1.3, has been very active with bug-fixes and performance improvements that are being driven by community adoption of 2.1.x. It is expected that we will release 2.1.3 in this quarter. Currently 106 PRs have been merged, and there are 18 open issues with 2 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 187 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. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The low 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] https://lists.apache.org/thread/6jy0v0qk14163xx19ocz4l3xxc1rzr3z [2] 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 high activity. - Issues for the board: None. 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. The remaining Jira activity reflects closing obsolete issues. ## Links [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ACCUMULO/Apache+Accumulo+Home

## 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.

## 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.

## 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.

The 1.10 releases will also be our first LTS release [4]. - The monthly "Hack Day" continues in Columbia MD. There was nothing of note posted from the meetings in Oct[5] and Dec[6]. The Nov[7] meetup was mirrored on the west coast and some issues labeling for 'good first issue' was accomplished [8]. ## Community Health: - Activity in the community was lower this quarter than last, but consistent with prior quarters. The uptick last quarter was most likely due the surge to release 2.0.

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.

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.

It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Releases Version 1.5.1 was released on 2/27/2014. Version 1.4.5 was released on 4/03/2014. Activity The mailing lists have been active. The dev list has increased by 16 subscribers to 231, and the user list has increased by 25 subscribers to 363. In March 2014, we again surpassed our previous record for number of commits per month. Testing is still ongoing for 1.6.0 and we have not begun voting on its release yet. 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

It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Releases No new releases since the last report. Version 1.4.4 was released on 8/23/2013. Activity The mailing lists have been active. The dev list has increased by 3 subscribers to 215, and the user list has increased by 22 subscribers to 338. 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.

The dev list has increased by 16 subscribers to 212, and the user list has increased by 27 subscribers to 316. We have set a feature freeze date for 1.6.0 to November 1st. 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.

The dev list has increased by 31 subscribers to 196, and the user list has increased by 43 subscribers to 289. Development is also active. We have begun discussing major features to be included in the 1.6.0 release and also have discussed things we would have liked to do differently for the 1.5.0 release. We are intending to switch from svn to git. Community Corey Nolet was added as a committer on 5/6/2013. Mike Drob was added as a committer on 6/27/2013.

The dev list has increased by 15 subscribers to 165, and the user list has increased by 20 subscribers to 246. Note that I accidentally switched the user and dev list numbers in my last report. Development is active. New features are no longer being added to the 1.5 branch and 1.5.0 is undergoing heavy testing in preparation for release. January, March, and February 2013 (in that order) mark our highest ever number of commits per month. Community Brian Loss was added as a committer on 2/12/2013.

The dev list has increased by 87 subscribers to 226, while the user list decreased by 42 subscribers to 150. 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.

It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Releases There have been no releases since the last report. Activity The mailing list activity has been steady and there has been an increase to 192 subscribers to the user list and 139 subscribers to the dev list. Development is active and major features are still being added to the trunk (1.5 branch). Community Josh Elser added as a new committer 07/26/2012. Bill Slacum added as a new committer 07/31/2012. Christopher Tubbs added as a new committer 09/18/2012. Dave Marion added as a new committer 09/18/2012. 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.

Major development is occurring in the trunk (1.5) as Accumulo's custom write-ahead log is being replaced with an HDFS write-ahead log, which is showing improved performance during testing. Community One new contributor since the last report. Issues None at this time. The following [article][1] may be of interest to the board. It discusses recommendations made by the Senate Armed Services Committee regarding the use of Accumulo by the Department of Defense. [1]: http://s.apache.org/CTe

It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Releases Version 1.4.0 was released on 3 April 2012. Activity The transition to TLP has been fairly smooth. Mailing lists, subversion repository, website, project pages, and DOAP file have all been updated. The mailing lists have been active with hundreds of messages per month on the dev and commits lists. The user list is still below 200 messages per month, but appears to be increasing. There are approximately 100 subscribers each for the dev and user lists. Most emails receive responses promptly. We anticipate making a 1.3.6 release soon to supersede 1.3.5-incubating. Major features to be implemented in 1.5 have yet to be decided, but there are currently 87 open tickets with Fix Version 1.5.0. Community Jason Trost became a new committer on 20 March 2012. Branding "TM" has been added to the Accumulo logo and to the first text reference to Apache Accumulo on each web page. "Apache Accumulo, Accumulo, Apache, the Apache feather logo, and the Apache Accumulo project logo are trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation" has been added to the footer of each web page. Issues INFRA-4571 pointed out a violation of policy on the Accumulo website. A committer had put a thrift jar on the Accumulo site because the jar was no longer available through any maven repository. The jar was removed promptly. Instructions have been added for building the necessary jar from the corresponding thrift tag.
