Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Greater community involvement.
2. Produce releases.
3.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware

Lack of community involvement has brought the topic of retirement to the
blur-dev list.

Apache CarbonData is an indexed columnar data format for fast analytics on
big data platform, e.g.Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, etc.
CarbonData has been incubating since 2016-06-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Already finished 4 apache releases and all driven by different release
managers.
2. The community is growing well:
a. There are more than 60+ contributors from different organizations,
increasing the diversity.
b. Increased mailing list activity, the solutions be discussed by
mailing list and users can get efficient helps to quickly solve
their issues by mailing list
3. Finish all INFRA built: github, CI, website, Cwiki and so on.
We think we are very close to the graduation and we are focused on the
last steps for the graduation.
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?
- Increased mailing list activity: solutions be discussed and decided in
mailing list.
- More than 20+ new contributors from different organizations since
November.
- Organized two meetup, the attendees was more than 100+.
- There are more than 10+ organizations decided to use Apache CarbonData
and 6 of them already formally deployed in business system.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Since November 1,306 issues+ have been reported on JIRA site and 294
have been resolved or closed. Since November 1,282+ pull requests have
been created and 268+ pull requests have been closed.
- Finished a new release 1.0.0, which improved the ecosystem integration
with Apache Hadoop,Apache Spark,Apache Flink.
- Created Jenkins CI and Travis CI.
- Created the website: http://carbondata.incubator.apache.org.
- Finished podling suitable names search, and the name of "Apache
CarbonData" got approved.

* The podling seems to be very healthy and kudos to PPMC for pulling of
their first release and getting ready for second.
* A big kudos to couple of mentors for pro-actively engaging.
* Blur website does not conform to the branding guidelines and should
add the incubator logo and disclaimer prominently. Also, should
include the ASF, security and thanks to sponsor links.

Blur has been incubating since 2012-07-24.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Official IP sign off
- Near Infinity signed CCLA and Blur Software Grant in July of 2012
- All committers have submitted ICLA's in July/August of 2012
- So I believe that an official vote is all that is needed.
2. First Apache release which is dependent on #1
- The biggest reason this has been delayed is due to several major code
refactors to make use of Blur faster and easier
3. Community growth, Blur needs to grow beyond the initial set of committors.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
No.

committors and 1 contributor
- The 0.2 development branch is now functioning and is getting closer to
feature parity with 0.1.

Apache Blur is a search platform capable of searching massive amounts of data
in a cloud computing environment.
Issues needing Board/Incubator PMC Attention:
None.
Key Activities:
- Website has been migrated to Apache CMS and is online at
http://incubator.apache.org/blur/
- Apache Rat has been integrated into the build process
- Many of issues that Apache Rat identified have been corrected
- A major rework of the code base is in progress with a goal of releasing
0.2 as the first release of Apache Blur
- During the rework of the code the community has been active in
discussions and contributing code
- Jan 2013 is a realistic timeline for a release
- The most significant development achievement over the past month has
been the update to Lucene 4.0
NOTE: The version change caused several thousand compile errors and many
were fixed by community contributions. With the help of community
developers the update only took a couple of weeks before tests were
passing and the application was working again.
Community:
- Over the past 30 days in JIRA, 17 issues have been created and 12 resolved.
- Several of these issues were resolved by contributions from outside the
current committers.
- Subscriptions: users@ - 22[+3]; dev@ - 24[+3]
- Mail list messages in blur-dev has grown to 227 in October,
up from 70 in August
Graduation is still a long way off, the next major milestone toward graduation
will be Blur's first Apache release.
