## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: No issues for the board at the moment. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (9 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. ## Project Activity: Recent releases: 5.2.1 was released on 2022-03-17. 5.2.0 was released on 2021-07-26. 5.1.0 was released on 2020-07-03. ## Community Health: The project is running smoothly. The community is not big but we see new JIRAs coming and a few patches from non committers. We cut a release quite recently (3 month ago). We still don't have good candidates to be invited as new committers. The project is pretty stable and so when someone provides a patch they are usually already done and wait for a release.
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: No issue that requires the attention of the board. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. ## Project Activity: We are going to cut a release this month. Recent releases: - 5.2.0 was released on 2021-07-26. - 5.1.0 was released on 2020-07-03. - 5.0.0 was released on 2020-05-28. ## Community Health: The project is alive and in good health, not much traffic, but we are committing patches contributed by users. All of the committers participate in the project only in their spare time but we have enough strength for reviews and for cutting releases. Unfortunately contributors post their patches, they see them accepted but there is no one that is engaging enough to be invited as a committer. Interesting metrics: - 12 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (71% increase) - 12 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (200% increase) - 6 commits in the past quarter
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: There are no issues for the board. Not much activity but the community is in good shape, when users have problem we help and possibly guide them to contribute a fix. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. - No new committers.

Apache Curator 5.0.0 was released on 2020-05-28. ## Community Health: During the past 3 month there has been not much activity. We fixed a couple of bugs and we will probably cut a release soon, especially in order to recognize the value of the contributions received by users who had problems and contributed solutions. - dev@curator.apache.org had a 62% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (139 emails compared to 362) - user@curator.apache.org had a 65% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (7 emails compared to 20) - 7 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-65% change) - 4 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-42% change) - 6 commits in the past quarter (-40% change) - 5 code contributors in the past quarter (-28% change) - 4 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-66% change) - 6 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-33% change)
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier. ## Issues: No issues for the board. The project is moving forward. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. ## Project Activity: One of the new contributors written a blog post about Curator and what he contributed to the latest 5.2.0 release. We have suggested him to promote his work and helped him with the post. https://medium.com/@jmslocum16/idempotent-fault-tolerant-writes-in-curator-5-2-0-eadf7c12c814 Recent releases: 5.2.0 was released on 2021-07-26 (roughly one month ago). 5.1.0 was released on 2020-07-03. 5.0.0 was released on 2020-05-28. ## Community Health: The community is in good shape, even if we are a small group. We cut a release with new features and contributions from people outside the committers group. This is a good sign. In fact the metrics show a little increase in community communications. Metrics: - dev@curator.apache.org had a 75% increase in traffic in the past quarter (376 emails compared to 214) - user@curator.apache.org had a 250% increase in traffic in the past quarter (21 emails compared to 6) - 20 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (300% increase) - 7 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (250% increase) - 10 commits in the past quarter (233% increase) - 7 code contributors in the past quarter (133% increase) - 12 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (200% increase) - 9 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (200% increase)
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: We do not see particular issues. The project is pretty stable. But we do not see new contributors so active to be worth to be invited as committers. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (8 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Zili Chen on 2020-08-06. ## Project Activity: The project is mostly tied to Apache ZooKeeper, as ZooKeeper cut recently a new major release, we expect a new release of Curator to be released soon. 5.1.0 was released on 2020-07-03. Apache Curator 5.0.0 was released on 2020-05-28. Apache Curator 4.3.0 was released on 2020-02-29. here] ## Community Health: Unfortunately most of the committers are no more working actively on the project in their job, all of the PMC members and committers are volunteers. We are answering quickly to every request from the users and it looks like the project is still broadly used, simply it is very stable.
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: No critical issues. But we are lacking of continuative contributions from non committers. We started a discussion about how to engage more with the community in order to have candidates to invite, but actually we are not making process in this direction. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (7 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.

Apache Curator 4.3.0 was released on 2020-02-29.ta here] ## Community Health: The project is healthy, there is not much activity, this is probably due to the current stability of our codebase and to the fact that we are mostly bound to the pace of releases and new features of Apache ZooKeeper. We recently added a new high level feature from a new contributor and we are planning to cut a new major release soon, but probably this will be happen right after the next major release of ZooKeeper (that is under VOTE during these days). We see good discussions on the ML and on JIRA. Relevant stats: - 5 commits in the past quarter (66% increase) - 4 code contributors in the past quarter (33% increase) - dev@curator.apache.org had a 155% increase in traffic in the past quarter (174 emails compared to 68) - user@curator.apache.org had a 100% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (0 emails compared to 14)
## Description: The mission of Curator is the creation and maintenance of software related to Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper easier ## Issues: Currently there is not much activity on the project, basically we are following the pace of Apache ZooKeeper, as Curator is mostly a wrapper over ZooKeeper. We recently started a discussion about the status of the project in 2020, and community feedback was that Curator is pretty widespread, and it works well, so this is why there is not so much activity. Currently most of the committers are no more working on Curator in their main job By the way we see users asking questions on the ML and recently we received an offer about a contribution of some important new features. This new work will add more liveness to the project. ## Membership Data: Apache Curator was founded 2013-09-18 (7 years ago) There are currently 15 committers and 15 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was Shay Shimony on 2019-04-18. ## Recent Releases - Apache Curator 5.0.0 was released on 2020-05-28 ## Project Activity: - We had a major release last week - We are currently voting on a new PMC/committer ## Community Health: While I still think the Curator community is healthy I was disappointed by the lack of engagement recently with an important issue with Curator (see thread here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/curator-dev/202005.mbox/%3cE5511DF7-06EB-43B9-851E-E08FCDA8A204@jordanzimmerman.com%3e). I tried to get engagement as hard as I could - email, Slack, cross-posting to ZooKeeper, Twitter - still only the 3 active Curator committers responded. I don't know what to do about this. I know that Curator is used throughout the Tech industry - why don't they take more interest in it? I don't know.

Last addition was Shay Shimony on 2019-04-18. ## Project Activity: - Interest in Curator has increased recently matching the increased activity from new committers in ZooKeeper. - We have two new releases planned: - 4.3.0 is a bug fix release being voted on right now and will hopefully be released soon - A possible 5.0.0 is being worked on to make Curator compatible with the upcoming 3.6.0 release of ZooKeeper - The Curator team is working on a number of things: - Some important bug fixes were merged from the community for 4.3.0 - Refactoring and removing a bunch of cruft/tech debt for upcoming 5.0.0 - Added new features to support corresponding ZooKeeper 3.6.0 features ## Recent Releases - Apache Curator 4.2.0 was released on 2019-03-06. - Apache Curator 4.3.0 is being voted on right now and will be released as soon as the community accepts this version - We have plans for Curator 5.0.0 sometime in 2020 ## Community Health: Curator is healthier than it has been in a while. We now have 3 active committers who are engaged. We also get regular input from community members with bug reports, PRs, etc. We still need more active engagement from the community, however. Given how widely used Curator is it can be frustrating that there aren't more people active in the project. We continue to reach out in various forums: Apache Slack, email, Stackoverflow, etc.

ZooKeeper seems to be slowing down. This is probably healthy for a project
of Curator's age.
- Apache Curator would benefit from one or more additional active committers
but it's difficult to find these people.

## Description: - The Apache Curator Java libraries make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable. ## Issues: - Curator participated in the "help wanted" project. To date, we've not gotten any real help. People don't even bother to subscribe to the mailing list. It appears they are just fishing to see if they can pad their CVs. So, this isn't a Curator "issue" per se, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to report about it. ## Activity: - Curator activity is normal for this period - We continue to produce releases, field questions, etc. - We continue to track releases of Apache ZooKeeper and try to stay current with it ## Health report: - Curator is a healthy, active project. We have consistent, quality input from the community and Curator usage continues to grow. - I've learned that Facebook will be standardizing on Apache Curator as its primary ZooKeeper client - good news! - Curator's health is intimately tied to Apache ZooKeeper and, from our perspective, Apache ZooKeeper is a very healthy project - Curator could use 1 or 2 more active committers.

Please accept my apology for the tardiness of this report. The Apache Curator Java libraries make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable. Community ========= The Curator community is active and healthy. We have regular and active participation on the mailing list, Jira and github. Adoption continues to grow. Notably: Apache Hive and Apache Yarn are now using Curator. Development =========== Since our last report Curator has had two successful releases by different build managers. Issues for board consideration ============================== None currently
No report was submitted.
The Apache Curator Java libraries make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable. Community ========= * Since our last report Curator has added two new committers, Cameron MacKenzie and Scott Blum. They have both been very active and the project has benefited greatly from them. * Numerous online articles that mention Curator have been written: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CURATOR/Third+Party+Articles Development =========== * Several successful releases have occurred since the last report * Curator's adoption continues to grow: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CURATOR/Powered+By Issues for board consideration ============================== None currently
The Apache Curator Java libraries make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier and more reliable. Project Status =========== Since the last report, there have been several successful releases. 2.5.0 is the latest release. Community ======== The Curator community continues to grow. This is a good time to report on how Curator has been integrated in the larger ZooKeeper community. * Curator is a component in other open source projects including Apache Storm, Metamarkets Druid, Apache Drill, Apache Oozie, Apache Spark, Spring SD, and many, many more. * There have been dozens of articles written either about or mentioning Apache Curator. * According to Ohloh, there have been 11 contributors to the project Issues ===== In the last report, it was mentioned that Curator only has 1 active committer. I think this was a bit misleading. Curator has had no problems getting votes for releases. Many people contribute to the development of Curator. The main issue is that stewardship of Curator falls mainly on me (Jordan Zimmerman). The good news is that I've been mentoring others and am very close to getting at least one and possibly two more committers who will be active stewards of Curator. I hope to have this by the next report.
Project Status ============== * 2.4.1 maintenance released currently being voted on Community ========= * In the past 5 weeks 10 issues were resolved * Last release: 2.4.0 on Feb 8, 2014 * Curator switched to a Github mirror and will now take Pull Requests instead of patches Issues for board consideration ============================== * Curator continues to have only 1 active committer however patches/PRs are coming from a good number of unique active users
