17 May 2023 [Sijie Guo / Shane]

## Description:
The mission of BookKeeper is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Replicated log service which can be used to build replicated state machines

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache BookKeeper was founded 2014-11-19 (8 years ago)
There are currently 30 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 5:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Hang Chen was added to the PMC on 2023-03-14
- No new committers. Last addition was Shiji Lu on 2022-10-06.

## Project Activity:
Recent releases:
- 4.16.1 was released on 2023-05
- 4.16.0 was released on 2023-04
- 4.15.4 was released on 2023-03
- 4.14.7 was released on 2023-02
- 4.14.6 was released on 2023-01

- The BookKeeper 4.16.0 is a milestone to support DirectIO and have a lot of
 performance improvements.

- We continue to have many "BookKeeper Proposal" getting submitted, discussed
 and voted by the community: BP-59:Refactor ByteBuf release method
 BP-60:Change PCBC limitStatsLogging default value to true BP-61: Revert
 BP-59 to release ByteBuf using ReferenceCountUtil.release() instead of
 ReferenceCountUtil.safeRelease() BP-62: Streamline batch add requests BP-63:
 Make all PacketProcessorBaseV3 recyclable

- We also started a project to tune the performance for handling many small
 entries and got significantly performance improvement.

- BookKeeper has reached 172 contributors on the main Github repo (It was 168
 contributors in December 2022)

- BookKeeper community is discussing rotating the PMC Chair.

## Health report:
The community is pretty healthy currently, new features and bugfixes are
coming both from committers and new contributors and we recently added one PMC
member.

New issues and PR review time is a bit long, maybe we need to invite more
Committers.

## Community Health:

- Activity on the mail lists and PRs increased a lot with more committers and
 contributors participate in discussions and PR reviews.

- dev@bookkeeper.apache.org had a 40% increase in traffic in the past quarter
 (117 emails compared to 83)

- There is low traffic on the user@ mailing list probably because BookKeeper
 is very low level and most of the times people who reach out to the
 community start directly from the dev@ mailing list.

### Github activity
- 202 commits in the past quarter (42% increase)
- 32 code contributors in the past quarter (6% increase)
- 150 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (31% increase)

## Description:
The mission of BookKeeper is the creation and maintenance of software related
to Replicated log service which can be used to build replicated state machines

## Issues:
Overall the community is doing well.

On the PMC side we can note that we had a CVE and it took much time in order
to handle it properly. This is something that we are still not tackling on the
PMC. There are a few contributors who are doing very well and it is probably
worth considering inviting them as committers.

We are going to cut a new major release (4.16.0)

## Community Health:
The community is active, in mailing list discussion, on our slack workspace,
on GH pull requests and BPs (BookKeeper proposals, that is our way of
discussing public API changes and big features)

## Description:

to Replicated log service which can be used to build replicated state machines

## Issues:
The community is pretty healthy currently, new features and bugfixes are
coming both from committers and new contributors and we recently added some
committers.

One issue is that we missed to send the report to the Board a couple of times,
and also sometimes it takes much time to have 3 binding VOTEs on release
candidetes. Maybe it is time to add new members to the PMC or to revive the
PMC.

A CVE has been found (https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-32531)
and it took much time before we could address it,

- No new PMC members. Last addition was Charan Reddy G on 2019-07-24.
- No new committers. Last addition was Rajan Dhabalia on 2020-03-23.

## Project Activity:
The project is quite active even if we are not cutting releases very often.
4.11.0 was release on 2020-07-09
4.10.0 was released on 2019-11-06.

The project is moving forward with new features and bugfixes.


## Community Health:
New users are often using the Slack channel instead of the ML in order to get
in touch with the project, this has the effect to a reduced activity on the
user@ mailing list.  The activity on the ML is stable on dev@, and we are also
following a formal process to get major changes in (BookKeeper Proposals design
documents).

We had a BookKeeper dedicated track at PulsarSummit.com, a conference devoted
to Apache Pulsar.  We also have a few talks about BookKeeper at ApacheCon@Home.

We recently moved to GitHub Actions the CI jobs relevant to testing Pull
Requests.

## Description:
BookKeeper is a scalable, fault-tolerant, and low-latency storage service
optimized for append-only workloads. It has been used as a fundamental service
to build high available and replicated services. It is also the log segment
store for Apache DistributedLog and message store for Apache Pulsar.

Apache DistributedLog is a high-level API and service layer for Apache
BookKeeper, providing easier access to the BookKeeper primitives. It is a
subproject of Apache BookKeeper.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache BookKeeper was founded 2014-11-19 (5 years ago) There are currently 23
committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is
roughly 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members.
- Rajan Dhabalia was added as committer on 2020-03-23

## Project Activity:
Recently, we've seen lots of activity from upstream consumers such as Apache
Pulsar. Companies such as Salesforce and Diennea contributing back to the
community. We are also seeing new interest from users at Dell EMC contributing
back and starting conversations. Several bugs (issues) were opened and fixed
from these upstream consumers which will be going into our next release.

Some of the important features being worked on/recently merged are:
- Bookkeeper Proposal - 38: Publish Bookie Service Info on Metadata Service
- Bookkeeper Proposal - 40: Audit Logging for Apache Bookkeeper
- Migrated Project CI from Jenkins to Github Actions on 2020-01-22.

Releases
- 4.10.0 was released on 2019-11-06.
- 4.9.2 was released on 2019-05-16.
- Supporting project Bookkeeper Visual Manager released v1.0.0 on 2020-04-12.

## Community Health:
The community has been active in making infrastructural changes to
Apache Bookkeeper this past quarter. We have had initiatives that moved us to
Github Actions from Jenkins and also cut down the build and test time by more
than 50%. Another development activity has seemed to go from mailing lists to
our slack channel (apachebookkeeper.slack.com) where we had around 38 new users
of Apache Bookkeeper. In the past quarter, the above activity has resulted in
the following GitHub activity:
- 38 PRs opened (8% increase)
- 40 PRs closed (48% increase)
- 50 commits (51% increase)
- 20 code contributors (66% increase)

Mailing List activity:
- 1272 emails in issues@bookkeeper.apache.org (4% increase)
- 30 emails in user@bookkeeper.apache.org
- 59 emails in the dev@bookkeeper.apache.org
- We'll be pushing to bring the discussions back to the mailing lists.

Meetups and Conferences:
- Several talks are scheduled for the Bookkeeper Track in the
 Apache Pulsar Summit 2020 to be held in 17 and 18th June 2020.

## Community Health:

### Community

We are leveraging Pulsar for growing BookKeeper community.
Pulsar Summit has a dedicated `bookkeeper` track for the
community to present bookkeeper related talks. This will
drive more participation from both communities.

### Committers

We did not add any new committer within last year.
We have a good amount of small contributions but no one is yet ready
to be invited as committer.
We are trying to engage more with current contributors.
Most of current contributions come from other downstream Open Source
projects that are using BookKeeper as building block.
We got recent feedback of usage of BookKeeper and DistributeLog by new
non open source projects.

- The project is also extending its scope to cover long term distributed
 storage and now bundles a new KV distributed database (StreamStorage).
- We released a new Python client for the StreamStorage service.
- We are working on a brand new CLI interface

## Community Health:
- During the last quarter there development slowed down a little and we
 missed one scheduled release (we started a Time based release plan this
 year).
- During the last months new users and contributors appeared especially from
 Apache Pulsar community and from other OSS projects that were born recently
 and are based on Apache BookKeeper.
- Mailing list discussions are brisk, in particularly around the active
 projects.

4.8.2 was released on 2019-03-18.
4.8.0 was released on 2018-09-25.

Currently the community is working on releasing 4.10.0.
The two releases will be going out soon.

## Community Health:

The community is a bit slow. Because the committers and
PMC members have a bit overlapped between Pulsar and BookKeeper.
So a lot of them have been focused on growing the adoptions of
Pulsar and hence BookKeeper. The adoptions of Pulsar has been
increased a lot and so does BookKeeper. The members are able to
put more focuses on BookKeeper in the next month.

## Description:

BookKeeper is a scalable, fault-tolerant, and low-latency storage
service optimized for append-only workloads. It has been used as
a fundamental service to build high available and replicated services
in companies like Twitter, Yahoo and Salesforce. It is also the log
segment store for Apache DistributedLog and message store for Apache Pulsar.

Apache DistributedLog is a high-level API and service layer for
Apache BookKeeper, providing easier access to the BookKeeper
primitives. It is a subproject of Apache BookKeeper.

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

 - We have moved to a time based schedule, releasing quarterly to
 ensure new features ship at a regular interval. 4.6.0 will be the
 first release of this kind.

 - 4.5.0 was released on 14th August 2017
 - 4.5.1 was released on 22nd November 2017
 - We are progressing towards a 4.6.0 release. The branch has been
 frozen and we expect a release in the next two weeks.
 - BookKeeper development now entirely in github. Jira has been made
 read only. All jira issues have been migrated to github issues.
 - Continued work on merging changes from yahoo's branch changes into
 apache master.
 - Active discussion on a number of projects:
   - Relaxed durability
   - New client API
   - Improved documentation

BookKeeper is a distributed, reliable, and high performance logging service.
It has been used as a fundamental service to build high available and
replicated services in companies like Twitter,
Yahoo and Salesforce. It is also the log segment store for Apache
DistributedLog (incubating).

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
The mailing list activity has dropped and we attribute it to the split
attention between Apache BookKeeper and the incubating project Apache
DistributedLog. They are closely related given that DistributedLog uses
BookKeeper as a building block for storing logs. Despite the drop of mailing
list activity, there has been good discussion around upcoming features and
improvements to the project.

The community started organizing bi-weekly calls where everyone is invited to
join. The goal is not to make decisions outside the mailing list and jira, but
instead to have a better understanding of current proposals and problems that
users of the project are facing. The community is also organizing a meetup
that will happen in November.

## Health report:
The community is making good progress. We have been having healthy discussions
around issues and features and there are a few contributors on track to
become.

We haven't had a release in a while and we are targeting one for December
2016.

= Project Status =
Development activity has been low over the last month due to the holiday
season. We have been having discussions on how to improve the project
visibility and attract new contributors. One angle we will take is to improve
our documentation to flatten the learning curve for new comers to the
project. We also intend to do more public talks and blog posts, publicizing
the production usecases that already exist.

We plan to submit one talk to ApacheCon NA. We have also been working with
press@a.o to create a press release announcing the BookKeeper TLP. All that
is required now for this, is approval from the relevant press offices in the
companies mentioned, and it's ready to go.

Bookkeeper is a distributed, reliable, and high performance
logging service. The project also includes Hedwig which is
a highly scalable Pub/Sub service built on top of ZooKeeper
and Bookkeeper with strong durability guarantees.

= Project Status =
Since becoming TLP (2014-11-19), focus has been on getting our
new infrastructure set up. There were some delays in getting the
mailing list up and running, but it's all resolved now. Subsequently,
everything that depended on the mailing lists was delayed. We are
current voting on a set of bylaws.

Development work has been low over the last month, but a lot of work
has been done to improve the documentation and accessibility of the
project (new website, new client tutorial, etc).

= Releases =
Our last release was 4.3.0, released on 2014-10-14. We are
currently in the process of voting for a release plan for 4.3.1 and
4.2.4.

= Community Status =
There have been no committers added since we became TLP (2014-11-19).
