Druid

Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.

Report date: 2/13/2024

## Description

Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems. Users
interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well as
third-party applications.

Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects: Calcite
for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka and Hadoop as
data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input formats, and
DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid can also be used as a
data source by Superset.

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity

Our last major release was Druid 28.0.0, which contained 420 new features, bug
fixes, performance enhancements, documentation improvements, and additional
test coverage from 57 contributors.

Druid Summit 2023, a virtual conference, was held December 5–6, 2023. It
featured 22 sessions from over 30 speakers, and over 200 attendees.

In the past three months (mid Nov 2023 to mid Feb 2024), mailing list traffic
is down 19%, GitHub commits are slightly down (-7%), and GitHub PRs opened are
also slightly down (-10%). This may be attributed to the end-of-year holidays,
which are traditionally a slow period for contributions.

Meanwhile, our Slack workspace at https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/
stands at 2,431 members, up 482 members (25%) since our last report.

A Helm chart for Druid was contributed after the helm/charts repository on
GitHub was deprecated. However, we have not included this in any release since
then, due to uncertainty about whether or not we need to perform formal IP
clearance for this contribution. Due to lack of volunteers to do this specific
work, the author of this report recently raised a PR to remove the code from
the Apache Druid repository.

## Activity

Our last major release was Druid 27.0.0, which contained 316 new features, bug
fixes, performance enhancements, documentation improvements, and additional
test coverage from 50 contributors.

The project recently decided to resolve a security issue that has been open
for over a year by deciding it was not a vulnerability, after much sporadic
back-and-forth between the project, security team, and original reporter over
that time. We regret that this took so long and are reminded of the importance
of promptly resolving these reports.

Druid Summit 2023 was recently announced, a virtual conference being held
December 5–6, 2023. It is being organized by Imply with permission from the
project.

In the past three months (mid Jun–mid Sep 2023), mailing list traffic is down
10% relative to the prior three months. This is a smaller change than we have
seen in prior reports, perhaps indicating that mailing list activity has
reached an equilibrium.

Meanwhile, development activity on GitHub is up for both PRs (10%) and commits
(17%). The number of unique contributors (61) is similar to last report (64).
 Our Slack workspace at https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/ stands at
 1,949 members, up 438 members (29%) since our last report.

A Helm chart for Druid was contributed after the helm/charts repository on
GitHub was deprecated. However, we have not included this in any release since
then, due to uncertainty about whether or not we need to perform formal IP
clearance for this contribution, and a lack of volunteers willing to spend the
time to sort this out. We hope to be able to sort this out for a subsequent
release.

## Activity

Our last major release was Druid 25.0.0, which contained 300 new features, bug
fixes, performance enhancements, documentation improvements, and additional
test coverage from 51 contributors.

In the past three months (Feb–Apr 2023), mailing list traffic is down 27%
relative to the prior three months (Nov 2022–Jan 2023). This follows a
similarly- sized decrease in the prior report.

GitHub activity is slightly up for PRs and commits. The number of unique
contributors is up significantly, to 64. On the other hand, activity in GitHub
issues is down, as it was last report.

Our Slack workspace at https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/ stands at 1,511
members, up 521 members (52%) since our last report, a significant increase.

Consistently over the past few reports, we have seen a pattern of migration of
activity away from mailing lists and towards GitHub. The current statistics
indicate that issues-related activity is also migrating to our Slack
workspace. This is consistent with the character of conversations that are
taking place on Slack: mainly answering questions, troubleshooting, etc.

A Helm chart for Druid was contributed after the helm/charts repository on
GitHub was deprecated. However, we have not included this in any release since
then, due to uncertainty about whether or not we need to perform formal IP
clearance for this contribution, and a lack of volunteers willing to spend the

Druid Summit 2022 (https://druidsummit.org/) was held on December 6-7 2022. It
was a fully-remote conference with 34 sessions including speakers from a
variety of organizations.

In the past three months (Oct-Dec 2022), mailing list traffic is down 28%
relative to the prior three months (Jul-Sep 2022). GitHub activity, depending
on how you look at it, is flat (PRs), down 11% (commits), or down 30% (number
of issues opened). However, despite this dip from Q3 to Q4, quarterly GitHub
PR and issue activity are both up about 30% since our previous report was
filed in July 2022. Together, these statistics represent a pattern of
migration of activity from mailing lists to GitHub, which has been happening
for some time, as well as an indication that contributions to the project are
healthy.

On January 27 2022, we set up a community Slack workspace at
https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/. The new workspace currently has 990
members, an increase of 475 members since our last report.

## Activity

Our last major release was Druid 0.23.0, which contained 450 new features, bug

test coverage from 81 contributors.

Since our last report, there have been 12 community meetups via groups based
in NYC, Cleveland, Triangle (NC), Austin, Dallas, Mexico City, Copenhagen,
Berlin, Budapest, Brisbane and Sydney.

In the past quarter, mailing list traffic is down 28% and GitHub activity is
up 12% (PRs) to 17% (commits) to 48% (issues). This represents a pattern of
migration of activity from mailing lists to GitHub that has been happening for

A Helm chart for Druid was contributed after the helm/charts repository on
GitHub was deprecated. However, we did not include this in 0.22.0 or
0.23.0, our last two major releases, due to uncertainty about whether or not
we need to perform formal IP clearance for this contribution. We hope to be

Our last major release was Druid 0.22.0, which contained 400 new features,

A Helm chart for Druid was contributed after the helm/charts repository on
GitHub was deprecated. However, we did not include this in 0.22.0 due to
uncertainty about whether or not we need to perform formal IP clearance for
this contribution. We also intend to exclude the Helm chart from the upcoming
0.23.0 release. We hope to be able to sort this out subsequent to the 0.23.0
release.

Since our last report, there have been 29 community meetups via groups based
in San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Tampa, Denver, Dallas, St. Louis,
Melbourne, Sydney, London, Peterborough (UK), Tel Aviv, Berlin, São Paulo,
Pune, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

The Druid PMC recently granted permission to Imply to organize a sequence of
local, in-person events in 2022 under the brand "Druid Summit On The Road".
More information is available at https://druidsummit.org/.

On January 27 we set up a community Slack workspace at
https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/. We decided to create this new
workspace, instead of our existing #druid channel on ASF Slack, because the
official ASF Slack workspace requires an invitation from an existing member in
order to join, which was hampering the ability of members of the public to
join up. The new workspace currently has 350 members, an increase of 200
members since our last report.

Before that release, we had hoped to sort out whether or not we need IP
clearance for the Druid Helm chart. It was moved to the Apache Druid repo from
the Helm Charts repo after the latter was deprecated:

  https://github.com/helm/charts#%EF%B8%8F-deprecation-and-archive-notice

However, we were not able to complete this work, so we excluded the Helm chart
from the 0.22.0 release. We hope to be able to sort this out for the next
release.

Since our last report, there have been 3 community meetups virtually via
groups based in The Triangle (NC), Toronto and Sydney.

Dev activity appears to be continuing to move from the dev list to GitHub. The
busiest issues/PRs are receiving substantially more comments than the busiest
dev list threads. We also noticed this pattern in our last report.

On January 27 we set up a community Slack workspace at
https://apachedruidworkspace.slack.com/. We decided to create this new
workspace, instead of using our existing #druid channel on ASF Slack, because
the official ASF Slack workspace requires an invitation from an existing

On November 9 and 10, Druid Summit 2021 ran as a two-day virtual event with 34
sessions and roughly 1,100 attendees. Session recordings are available free of
charge at https://druidsummit.org/.

Since our last board report, there have been 26 community meetups via groups
based in Austin, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Toronto, London, Milan, Madrid,
Paris, Bern, São Paulo, Canberra, Brisbane, Seoul, and Bangalore.

Dev list activity is down from last quarter, while activity on GitHub is up in
terms of both commits and the number of unique contributors. Coupled with the
fact that the busiest issues/PRs are receiving substantially more comments
than the busiest dev list threads, this suggests that development discussion
is generally shifting to GitHub.

Meanwhile, our ASF Slack channel, #druid, has continued to grow, and has
reached over 1,800 members.

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity

We are currently working on our next major release, 0.22.0. Before issuing
this release, we will need to sort out IP clearance for the Druid Helm chart.
It was moved to the Apache Druid repo from the Helm Charts repo after the
latter was deprecated:

  https://github.com/helm/charts#%EF%B8%8F-deprecation-and-archive-notice

However, a concern was raised that this should have gone through IP clearance
before being committed. We are looking into this as part of the work for our
upcoming release.

Since our last board report, we held 12 virtual community meetups via groups
based in San Francisco, London, Richmond (VA), Dublin, and Melbourne.
Additionally, members of the Druid community have spoken about the project at
Subsurface, Philly ETE, Percona Live, and QCon.

Mailing list activity is down somewhat from last quarter, but this does not
seem concerning, because last quarter had a big increase (80%) in mailing list
traffic. This quarter appears to have undergone some regression to the mean.
Development activity, in terms of number of contributors and commits, is
more-or-less similar to last quarter. Our ASF Slack channel, #druid, has
continued to grow, and has reached over 1700 members.

## Description

Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database. It is
designed for workflows where low-latency query and ingest are the main
requirements. It implements ingestion, storage, and querying subsystems. Users
interface with Druid through built-in SQL and JSON APIs, as well as
third-party applications.

Druid has an extensive web of connections with other Apache projects: Calcite
for SQL planning, Curator and ZooKeeper for coordination, Kafka and Hadoop as
data sources, Avro, ORC, or Parquet as supported data input formats, and
DataSketches for scalable approximate algorithms. Druid can also be used as a
data source by Superset.

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity

We are nearly finishing up the release process for our fifth major
post-graduation release, 0.21.0, which we expect to have ready within the
coming weeks. This has been postponed due to a number of security hot-fixes,
with 0.20.1 released on Jan 29, 2021 (CVE-2021-25646), and 0.20.2 released on
Mar 29, 2021 (CVE-2021-26919). Our last major release was 0.20.0 on October
16, 2020.

Since our last board report we have had 10 community virtual meetups in
various "locations" across the globe (San Francisco, London, Pittsburgh,
Warsaw, Sydney, Bangalore), with 1 more scheduled in April (San Francisco).
In-person events are still on hold due to COVID-19 related concerns around
nonessential gatherings.

Mailing list activity has risen 80% since the last quarter, and a 35% increase
in commit activity. Our ASF Slack channel, #druid, has continued to grow, and
has reached over 1500 members, with daily activity of users asking questions
and offering support to each other.

Additionally, our recently disclosed security vulnerabilities have appeared in
a number of blogs and youtube videos. Hopefully all publicity is good
publicity? Seriously, though: the project has certainly experienced a recent
increase in interest from security researchers, which we take to be a positive
sign.

Additionally, we made our third major post-graduation release 0.19.0 on July
21.

Since our last board report we have had 9 successful user-focused virtual
meetups, with 3 more scheduled in October. In-person events are still on hold
due to COVID-19 related concerns around nonessential gatherings.

Mailing list activity (117 emails) is healthy and has increased since last
quarter. Our ASF Slack channel, #druid, has grown to over 1200 members, with
daily activity of users asking for and offering support to each other.

Commits (232) and unique contributors (45) are down from last quarter. It
looks like this decrease is mostly due to low activity from mid-July through
early September. In recent weeks, activity has gone back up to historically
typical levels. Just in case, I've started a discussion on the mailing list
encouraging everyone in the community to participate in timely PR reviews. At
this moment, there are 72 open PRs, any of which could potentially become a
commit. This is something we'll be keeping an eye on throughout the next
quarter.

We are currently hard at work preparing to create a branch for our 2nd
post-graduation release, 0.18.0, expected to be done within the next week,
targeting a release by the end of the month. 0.18.0 is currently weighing in
at over 200 commits from 41 contributors since our last release on Jan 26
2020.

In-person meetups and events have always been an important part of the Druid
community, but given the current global COVID-19 situation, they have become
untenable. Druid Summit, a larger event, was originally planned for April
13-15 and has recently been postponed to November 2-4. We are also
investigating alternatives to the smaller local meetups (typically 20-50
people) that we had been planning for New York City, Orange County, and San
Diego over the next two months.

documentation improvements from 52 contributors. Major improvements
include improved native batch indexing, performance improvements, LDAP
support, improved compliance with SQL standards, and much more. Work
on the upcoming 0.18.0 release is underway and on track for a likely
end of March release date.

Community activity continues to be strong, with a healthy rate of commits,
issues filed on GitHub, user mailing list posts, and ever increasing
activity in our ASF Slack channel #druid, which now has over 600 members.

Keeping boots on the ground to improve adoption, over the last month we
have had Druid meetups in New Delhi, London, Athens, and Tel Aviv, with
an additional meetup in Sydney scheduled in March. Planning for the
Druid Summit event is progressing with over 80 proposed talks currently
being evaluated, and half of the 40 scheduled speaking slots filled with
a diverse set of both PMC members and passionate users. The event will
take place April 13 - 15 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

## Issues

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity

This is Druid's first report as a top-level project.

Since graduating, we have added 9 PMC members and 2 committers.

Community activity has been strong since graduation, with a constant flow
of mailing list posts, issues being filed, and pull requests. We make an
effort to respond to a high percentage of user questions to encourage
adoption. Most of these questions come in through GitHub issues, or our
user group mailing list, or the ASF Slack channel #druid (where we recently
passed the 500 member mark).

We are working towards our first post-graduation release, which is expected
to be Druid 0.17.0 and is expected to be released in the coming weeks. The
major initiatives in this release include an improved batch ingestion
interface, substantial new work on our built-in parallel batch ingestion
feature, performance improvements, and LDAP integration.

We believe in-person events are an important part of community development.
In December, there were Druid meetups in Bangalore and Denver. This upcoming
month, there are meetups planned in New Delhi, London, Athens, and Tel Aviv.
Additionally, a Druid Summit event is planned for April 13 - 15 in the San
Francisco Bay Area. It is being organized by a third party (Imply) in
coordination with the Druid PMC. The models we are using for this are
similar events like Kafka Summit, Spark + AI Summit, and Flink Forward.

## Recent PMC changes

 - Currently 27 PMC members.
 - Immediately after graduation, on Dec 20 2019, we added the following
   committers to the PMC: Benedict Jin, Clint Wylie, Dylan Wylie, Fokko
   Driesprong, Furkan Kamaci, Mingming Qiu, Niketh Sabbineni, Surekha
   Saharan, and Vadim Ogievetsky.

## Recent committer changes

18 Dec 2019

Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store.

Druid has been incubating since 2018-02-28.

### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

 1. The project is not aware of any issues blocking graduation. Druid
 previously shelved a resolution to graduate due to a potential brand
 issue, which the project has since been working on with VP Brand. It is
 now no longer a concern so the project is proceeding towards graduation
 once again.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
 None

### How has the community developed since the last report?
 - 2 new committers have been added
 - A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new
 features are still ongoing at https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid.
 - Several community meetups have been held.

### How has the project developed since the last report?
 - Since the last report, we have had a total of 187 commits from 34
 contributors.
 - We have released 1 version, 0.16.0.
 - We currently have a vote open for 0.16.1, second release candidate

### How would you assess the podling's maturity?

### Date of last release:

 Druid 0.16.0-incubating was released on Sep 24, 2019

### When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

 The Druid PPMC elected 2 new committers to the project on September 22,
 2019.

 The previous Sep 2019 report was incorrect here, as the two committers
 were not yet officially elected then.

### Have your mentors been helpful and responsive?

 As always, Julian has been quite helpful.

### Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?

 The PPMC has from time to time reached out to have naming corrected on
 third party sites. VP Brand has approved graduating as Apache Druid.

    Comments:  Though not stated in the above report, there will be a
      resolution to graduate Druid at this month's board meeting.
      The IP issues that caused us to pause last time have been resolved.
      This is why the '3 issues to address before graduating' contains
      only one issue.

    Checks.

### 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?

 A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new
 features are still ongoing at https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

 - Since the last report there have been 493 commits from 86 contributors.
 - We have released 4 versions, i.e., 0.13.0, 0.14.0, 0.14.1, and 0.14.2.
 0.13.0 was the first Apache release.
 - We have code frozen 0.15.0 branch and are preparing for the first
 release candidate.
 - The web page migration from druid.io to druid.apache.org is still in
 progress.

    Comments: In my opinion Druid is overdue to graduate. There seems to
      be off-list consensus that graduation is near but I would like to
      see more conversation on-list. I don't agree that mentors "have
      been very helpful"; for the record, the other two mentors have been
      absent, including from tight release votes. I suspect that they
      are fatigued.

 addition in March.

    Comments: It's taken a few iterations, but the first release looks like
      it's just about to pass the vote. This was their biggest hurdle. They
      mastered Apache governance a long while ago, and have built
      community.
      I'm not concerned about the weekly sync up meetings as long as they
      continue to send out minutes and make decisions on the dev list.
      After one more release this project should consider graduation.
 [x](druid) P. Taylor Goetz
    Comments: I agree with Julian. Though would recommend (but not demand)
      three releases prior to graduation.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
    Dave Fisher: I'm somewhat concerned that the podling uses weekly sync
    up meetings.
    I am happy to see that Julian is gently steering them to use dev@
    for decisions.
    They have made non-Apache releases, but are now on rc4 of an
    Apache release.

       All other aspects of the project are functioning well; the project
       has built a vibrant community and lets the community drive its

     Comments: The "Initial setup" status is accurate because the SGA has
       not been completed yet. This is frustrating to all. Code is in github
       rather than ASF git, and Apache releases are not possible.
       Druid is functioning according to the Apache Way as much as they
       can, given these limitations.
       Druid has made its 2nd non-ASF patch release, with permission.

Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store.

Druid has been incubating since 2018-02-28.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
 1. Migrate existing contributors and users to apache mailing lists.
 2. Move the source code and website to apache infrastructure.
 3. Plan and execute our first Apache release.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
* The team is working on the items on the Incubation Checklist.
* We’re working on moving the existing mailing lists, source code, github
  issues and website to Apache Infrastructure.
* In order to keep the project momentum up until the migration is complete we
  are continuing the development on existing druid repository.
* We are considering doing the 0.12.0 release before migrating source code to
  apache, since the IPMC has already voted for it and migrating infra to
  apache might take a while, and we don't want to block 0.12.0 on this
  migration.

How has the community developed since the last report?
* This is our first board report.
* Current Status of our Github contributors (212), forks (1,516), watchers
 (524) and stars (6,157)

How has the project developed since the last report?
* Creation of Domain name for Druid - DONE
* Creation of Mailing lists - DONE.
* A healthy, constant flow of bug fixes, quality improvements and new
  Features are still ongoing on https://github.com/druid-io/druid.
