## Description: The mission of Hadoop is the creation and maintenance of software related to Distributed computing platform ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-16 (17 years ago) There are currently 247 committers and 125 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Shilun Fan on 2023-10-31. - Jian Zhang was added as a branch committer on 2024-09-07. ## Project Activity: 3.4.0 was released on 2024-03-17. hadoop-thirdparty-1.2.0 was released on 2024-02-07. 3.3.6 was released on 2023-06-25. ## Community Health: - HDFS new feature "Asynchronous Router RPC"[1][2] which will improve performance of Router RPC dispatch capability is in progress, most of basic works are near to be ready, we need to continue to extend some interfaces async. There are four contributors involved now. - HDFS new feature "NameNode Fine-Grained locking Based on Directory Tree" [3][4] which improves the performance of NameNode, The phase one developed near to be ready, but the contributors are inactive over 3 months. Now this feature is suspended due to no more other active contributors being involved. - The key change for YARN is the support for cgroup v2[5]. Significant progress has been made on this feature, but it will still take some time to complete. There are currently 4 active contributors. - We are also working on enabling Hadoop to support JDK17. A major blocking JIRA is HADOOP-15984[6], which involves updating Jersey from 1.19 to 2.x. The development work on this is currently in progress. - Shilun helped to resolve two long-standing Hadoop CVE issues. - Mukund and Steve are preparing release-3.4.1. - The Project shows healthy engagement based on Mailing list/Jira/Github traffic.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Mukund Thakur on 2023-01-21. - No new committers. Last addition was Shilun Fan on 2022-11-22. ## Project Activity: Recent releases: 3.3.6 was released on 2023-06-25. 3.3.5 was released on 2023-03-23. 3.3.4 was released on 2022-08-08. ## Community Health: - Mailing list activity: common-dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 2% increase in traffic in the past quarter (529 emails compared to 518) common-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 7% increase in traffic in the past quarter (5700 emails compared to 5309) dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 500% increase in traffic in the past quarter (6 emails compared to 1): hdfs-dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 11% increase in traffic in the past quarter (494 emails compared to 444) hdfs-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 27% increase in traffic in the past quarter (2040 emails compared to 1603) mapreduce-dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 0% increase in traffic in the past quarter (297 emails compared to 297) mapreduce-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 24% increase in traffic in the past quarter (116 emails compared to 93) user@hadoop.apache.org had a 10% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (28 emails compared to 31): yarn-dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 9% increase in traffic in the past quarter (409 emails compared to 372) yarn-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 19% increase in traffic in the past quarter (1189 emails compared to 992) - JIRA activity: 277 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (8% increase) 238 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (29% increase) - Commit activity: 532 commits in the past quarter (53% increase) 75 code contributors in the past quarter (13% increase) - GitHub PR activity: 288 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (11% increase) 271 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (34% increase) In the recent board report feedback, some board members worried about 'a 100% decrease in dev-list activity does sound quite serious'. We try to check it and only happens for dev@hadoop.apache.org, the reason is that there are several separate dev-list for every hadoop project sub-modules, and only few people use this mailing list thus triffic of dev@hadoop.apache.org is big moves, we are discussing if need to remove this dev-list, other sub-modules dev-list traffic works actively. We even added hadoop-api-shim as a sub-project in a new repo under hadoop: https://github.com/apache/hadoop-api-shim

New feature development started this quarter: * YARN-11411 [Umbrella] Build Concurrent Yarn Scheduler * HADOOP-18671 Add recoverLease(), setSafeMode(), isFileClosed() APIs to FileSystem ## Community Health: It appears the development activities are gradually trending down, though this is to be expected as the project matures. I see that Steve responded to most of the vulnerability reports, which is great. However, the community (me included) collectively should be more vigilant to vulnerability reports. * dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 0% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (1 emails compared to 1) * general@hadoop.apache.org had a 29% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (5 emails compared to 7) * mapreduce-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 67% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (97 emails compared to 288) * user@hadoop.apache.org had a 62% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (31 emails compared to 80) * yarn-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 31% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (1102 emails compared to 1584) * 237 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-5% change) * 175 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-14% change) * 342 commits in the past quarter (4% increase) * 66 code contributors in the past quarter (-9% change) * 244 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-9% change) * 193 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-23% change)

Last addition was Xiaoqiao He on 2021-05-05. - Gautham Banasandra was added as committer on 2021-11-04 ## Project Activity: We've not had a new PMC member added for a while. Given the amount of traffic in the community I am pretty sure there are a number of good candidates out there that we should nominate. I sent an email to initiate the discussion. Release 3.3.2: RC0 was cut and dropped due to a number of issues. RC1 is being prepared. Release 3.2.3 is stalled.

## Description: The mission of Hadoop is the creation and maintenance of software related to Distributed computing platform ## Issues: The security vulnerability handling is becoming a hot potato. There is an increasing attention to vulnerabilities as well as updating vulnerable third party dependencies. I started a thread to discuss ways to expedite resolution. GitHub raised 28 alerts as of today, most of them Javascript packages used by YARN UI. But we lack volunteers working to update these packages. The AWS EMR team is interested in knowing/collaborating more with the Apache Hadoop project on the vulnerabilities announced. Obviously, without a committer in the project prevent them from knowing/participating in addressing these vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, AWS EMR is one of the largest commercial providers of Hadoop, it would be irresponsible for our users if EMR can't take the appropriate actions. Can/should we find a way to include EMR (as well as other cloud providers) in the discussion of vulnerabilities? ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-16 (13 years ago) There are currently 230 committers and 120 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Szilard Nemeth was added to the PMC on 2021-04-02 - Jinglun was added as committer on 2021-03-27 - Mukund Thakur was added as committer on 2021-02-04 ## Project Activity: Hadoop 3.2.3 was officially released this quarter (01/09/2021). Hadoop 3.3.1 release is being discussed/planned. Feature development: (completed) - HDFS-15714 HDFS Provided Storage Read/Write Mount Support On-the-fly - work started this quarter and resolved in early April. Release: 3.4.0 - HADOOP-16830 Add Public IOStatistics API - completed this Jan. Release: 3.3.1 - HADOOP-16492 Support HuaweiCloud Object Storage as a Hadoop Backend File System - this work started Aug'19 and finally completed this Jan. Release: 3.4.0 - HADOOP-16524 Automatic keystore reloading for HttpServer2. Release: 3.4.0 and 3.3.1. (ongoing) - HDFS-15714 HDFS Provided Storage Read/Write Mount Support On-the-fly - HDFS-15747 RBF: Rename across sub-namespaces. -- this one is near completion. - YARN-10370 [Umbrella] Reduce the feature gap between FS Placement Rules and CS Queue Mapping rules -- this one is done, with remaining work moving to "Part II" - YARN-10534 Enable runC container transformations. - HADOOP-16829 Über-jira: S3A Hadoop 3.3.1 features - MAPREDUCE-6749 MR AM should reuse containers for Map/Reduce Tasks -- we will be creating a branch for this development. - HADOOP-17474 Optimise abfs incremental listings -- this work started this quarter. - YARN-10496 [Umbrella] Support Flexible Auto Queue Creation in Capacity Scheduler -- this work started from last quarter. ## Community Health: Activity is picking up again after the holiday season. 359 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (4% increase) 318 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (21% increase) 778 commits in the past quarter (24% increase) 99 code contributors in the past quarter (26% increase) 266 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (13% increase) 214 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (5% increase)
## Description: The mission of Hadoop is the creation and maintenance of software related to Distributed computing platform ## Issues: The Ozone sub project completed split from the Hadoop project. The transition went well. ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-15 (13 years ago) There are currently 228 committers and 119 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Eric Badger was added to the PMC on 2020-11-17 - Takanobu Asanuma was added to the PMC on 2020-11-08 - No new committers. Last addition was Lisheng Sun on 2020-10-01. ## Project Activity: No new release was announced in this quarter. However, several RCs for 3.2.2 was cut and voted on several times in this quarter. 3.2.2 later passed vote in January 2021. One CVE was announced: CVE-2018-11764 Apache Hadoop Privilege escalation in web endpoint Web endpoint authentication check is broken. Authenticated users may impersonate any user even if no proxy user is configured. Versions affected: 3.0.0-alpha4, 3.0.0-beta1, 3.0.0 Fixed versions: 3.0.1 Impact: privilege escalation Reporter: Daryn Sharp Reported Date: 2018/03/17 Issue Announced: 2020/10/21 Hadoop Common: The object store work is keeping people busy. * There's now a storage connector for HuaweiCloud Object Storage, so Hadoop and other applications using the FileSystem APIs can work with data stored in Huawei's cloud. * A new IOStatistics API has gone in to allow applications to query input classes (filesystems, streams, iterators) for IO performance details. This should allow tests and applications to identify performance issues during profiling and hopefully production * AWS S3 is now consistent. This enables the maintainers of the S3A connector to remove all the S3Guard code, which relied on DynamoDB for a consistent view of the data. They are looking forward to this. * The guava update is becoming a major friction for downstream applications to adopt new Hadoop releases. The community is working to shade guava as the solution. (HADOOP-16924) * The native compression libraries for Snappy and LZ4 are now shipped with Hadoop binary, no longer requiring manual installation of the native libraries on the host machines, making them easier to use. (HADOOP-17125 and HADOOP-17292) HDFS: * A new encryption codec "SM4/CTR/NoPadding" was added (HDFS-15098). * HDFS Router Based Federation received a number of new improvements, including balancer (HDFS-15294), isolation (HDFS-14090). Rename support is being worked on, starting this quarter. (HDFS-15747) * The new View FS implementation is near completion. (HDFS-15289) * The community is working to add dynamic mount support for both read and write for HDFS Provided Storage. (HDFS-15714) * Dynamic disk-level tiering (HDFS-15547) continued from last quarter. YARN: * The consolidation of FairScheduler and CapacityScheduler started in Q3 and is near completion. (YARN-10370) * Capacity scheduler is being enhanced to support auto queue creation. (YARN-10496) ## Community Health: Overall, the community participation appears relatively healthy despite Ozone's recent move to TLP. We had a steady supply of new contributors and new features this quarter. Erasure Coding appears to get traction in the last two quarters. Numerous EC bug fixes and improvements were raised this quarter. It looks like Hadoop 3 is getting adopted. Code development and mailing list traffic were both down significantly quarter over quarter, possibly due to the holiday season. Traffic in ozone-dev and ozone-issues mailing lists were down because of the Ozone TLP. dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 75% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (10 emails compared to 39) general@hadoop.apache.org had a 67% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (15 emails compared to 45) mapreduce-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 39% increase in traffic in the past quarter (237 emails compared to 170) ozone-dev@hadoop.apache.org had a 93% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (13 emails compared to 174) ozone-issues@hadoop.apache.org had a 80% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (1180 emails compared to 5804) user@hadoop.apache.org had a 30% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (56 emails compared to 80) user-zh@hadoop.apache.org had a 45% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (5 emails compared to 9) 322 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-31% decrease) 242 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-34% decrease) 591 commits in the past quarter (-3% decrease) 82 code contributors in the past quarter (-16% decrease) 214 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-13% decrease) 185 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-20% decrease) In addition to mailing lists, JIRA and GitHub PR, we are seeing more traffic in the official ASF slack hdfs (113 users), hadoop (119 users) and yarn (39 users) channels over the last quarter. They are being used to communicate community online meetup events and troubleshooting issues.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli (vinodkv) to the office of Vice President, Apache Hadoop, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli from the office of Vice President, Apache Hadoop, and WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Hadoop project has chosen by vote to recommend Wei-Chiu Chuang (weichiu) as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Hadoop, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Wei-Chiu Chuang be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Hadoop, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7F, Change the Apache Hadoop Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
## Description: The mission of Hadoop is the creation and maintenance of software related to Distributed computing platform ## Issues: - The Hadoop community passed a proposal to spin-off the Ozone project (a Hadoop subproject) to a Top Level Project. - Vinod stepped down from Chair. Wei-Chiu Chuang is elected as the new Chair. ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-15 (13 years ago) There are currently 228 committers and 117 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - Ayush Saxena was added to the PMC on 2020-07-21 - Adam Antal was added as committer on 2020-07-21 - Andras Bokor was added as committer on 2020-09-23 - Hui Fei was added as committer on 2020-09-25 - Jim Brennan was added as committer on 2020-08-04 - Peter Bacsko was added as committer on 2020-07-27 - István Fajth was added as committer on 2020-09-03 (Ozone branch committer) - Prashant Pogde was added as committer on 2020-09-03 (Ozone branch committer) - Lisheng Sun was added as committer on 2020-10-01 ## Project Activity: Recent releases: 2.9 release line was declared EOL on 2020-09-07. 3.3.0 was released on 2020-07-14. 3.1.4 was released on 2020-08-03. 2.10.1 was released on 2020-09-21. 3.2.2 is being prepared by Xiaoqiao. A major milestone was achieved when the Ozone project announced the 1.0.0 release on 2020-09-02. During the recent ApacheCon@Home, 7 (and probably some more) Hadoop talks were given by the community members. ## Community Health: The community is healthy. To highlight, 6 committers and 1 PMC were added in the Hadoop Core project, and two branch committers were added to the Ozone project. Release activities have gone up dramatically with four (including Ozone) releases announced and one being prepared.
## Description: The mission of Hadoop is the creation and maintenance of software related to Distributed computing platform ## Issues: As Ozone gearing towards the GA release, Marton started a thread to discuss the plan to make Ozone a TLP. There is a general consensus within the community to move Ozone out of Hadoop. The proposal is still being discussed, no actual steps are taken yet. [DISCUSS] making Ozone a separate Apache project https://s.apache.org/wpc3m ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-15 (12 years ago) There are currently 219 committers and 116 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - Masatake Iwasaki was added to the PMC on 2020-04-16 - Lokesh Jain was added to the PMC on 2020-06-15 - David Mollitor was added as committer on 2020-04-11 - Xiaoqiao He was added as committer on 2020-06-11 - Li Cheng was added as committer on 2020-05-04 - Nilotpal Nandi was added as committer on 2020-04-10 - Siddharth Wagle was added as committer on 2020-06-11 - Vivek Ratnavel Subramanian was added as committer on 2020-04-11 - Yisheng Lien was added as committer on 2020-04-20 Adam Antal and Peter Bacsko are both voted to become committers and both accepted the invite at the end of the quarter. The karma is yet to be added. ## Project Activity: Diversity&inclusion has recently received attention. A discussion thread is happening in the private mailing list to take actions to make the Hadoop project more inclusive, including removing offending branch names, source code and etc. Sammi Chen is the RM for Ozone 0.6 release. Brahma Reddy Battula is continuing on the Hadoop 3.3.0 release and preparing the initial release candidate. Since the Submarine project has become its own TLP, the Submarine code is removed from the Hadoop 3.3.0 release. Gabor started releasing Hadoop 3.1.4 ## Community Health: The weekly Ozone dev community sync is going strong. Recently, a separate, Asia-Pacific time zone friendly sync for the Ozone community is started. The new user-zh@ mailing list is not being well utilized in this quarter. We should promote to make the project more inclusive. Community Diversity: Of the new committers added to the project, 4 out of 7 are affiliated with Cloudera. 4 out of 7 are located in Asia.
## Description: The Apache™ Hadoop® project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. ## Issues: There are no problematic issues requiring board attention at the moment. ## General - A new mailing list user-zh@hadoop.apache.org was created towards end of Feb 2020 to foster questions about Apache Hadoop in Chinese for individuals who feel more comfortable communicating in Chinese. ## Project Activity: ### Releases - Apache Hadoop Ozone 0.5.0, the first beta release of Ozone, was announced on March 24 2020 - hadoop-thirdparty-1.0.0 was released on 2020-03-18. hadoop-thirdparty is a set of internal artifacts used by the project to mitigate the impact of our dependency version updates on the wider ecosystem. ### Other release related news - Apache Hadoop 3.3.0 release originally planned for mid March 2020 is running late - Apache Hadoop 2.8.x release line is marked as end-of-life ## Membership Data: Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-16 (12 years ago) There are currently 215 committers and 114 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. ### PMC changes, past quarter: - Currently 114 PMC members - New PMC members since last report: 1 - Zhankun Tang was added to the PMC on 2020-03-24 ### Committer base changes, past quarter: - Currently 215 committers - New committers since last report: 6 - Nilotpal Nandi was added as committer on 2020-04-11 - David Mollitor was added as committer on 2020-04-11 - Vivek Ratnavel Subramanian was added as committer on 2020-04-11 - Wilfred Spiegelenburg was added as committer on 2020-03-24 - Siyao Meng was added as committer on 2020-03-24 - Aravindan Vijayan was added as committer on 2020-02-03 ## Community Health: ### JIRA Activity Slightly down from last quarter - 1074 JIRA tickets created since the last board report [ project in (YARN, SUBMARINE, HADOOP, HDT, HDDS, HDFS, MAPREDUCE) AND createdDate >= 2020-01-15 ] - 841 JIRA tickets resolved since the last board report [ project in (YARN, SUBMARINE, HADOOP, HDT, HDDS, HDFS, MAPREDUCE) AND resolutiondate >= 2020-01-15 ] ### Mailing list subscriptions & activity: Mailing list activity on existing JIRA related lists (issues, commits) continues to go down across the board - presumably due to lower release activities. The dev lists are a mixed bag with common-dev seeing more activity. The new list user-zh obviously has net positive activity.
## Description: The Apache™ Hadoop® project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. ## Issues: There are no problematic issues requiring board attention at the moment. ## General - Submarine as a TLP was approved by the board at the previous board meeting. Development and releases of the Submarine module inside Apache Hadoop have since moved over to the new TLP project. - Apache Hadoop 3.3.0 release is being planned for mid March 2020 ## Project Activity: ### Releases Apache Hadoop 2.10.0 was released on 2019-10-29 Apache Hadoop 3.1.3 was released on 2019-10-21 Ozone 0.4.1-alpha was released on 2019-10-13 ## Membership Data Apache Hadoop was founded 2008-01-16 (12 years ago) There are currently 209 committers and 113 PMC members in this project.

Submarine sub-module spinning out to a TLP should be a contributor. Also, new lists created for Ozone sub-module should also contribute to the down-activity on on the issue lists.
## Description The Apache™ Hadoop® project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. ## Issues There are no problematic issues requiring board attention ATM. The community voted to spin off the Submarine module to a separate top-level Apache project and is pursuing board's approval. ## General # A significant Hadoop Community Meetup @ Beijing happened in Aug 2019. Coverage here: https://blogs.apache.org/hadoop/entry/hadoop-community-meetup-beijing-aug # Branch EOL discussion finally happened and resolved. Release lines 2.6, 2.7, 3.0 are marked EOL # Ozone moved to a separate source tree in addition to stand alone releases. Initial thoughts are exchanged if it'd also go the Submarine way of a TLP # 2.10 release process is underway # CVE Announcements: CVE-2018-11768 was announced on Oct 4 2019: HDFS FSImage Corruption # Comment on previous report > da: I don't understand "Branch Committer" are these people Committers or not? AFAIK we don't recognise any other role. vinodkv: They enjoy all the rights of a committer but their voting-in is expedited on a specific speculative branch.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. YARN timeline server v2 (YARN-2928) merged. Container queuing and resource-aware scheduling made progress. HDFS intra-datanode rebalancing (HDFS-1312) merged. Object storage (Ozone) and the native client made progress. Design of an async FileSystem API and an implementation in HDFS started in JIRA. HADOOP integrations with cloud storage were particularly active this quarter. The S3A client received significant updates from a diverse set of community members. Clients for the Aliyun Object Store Service (OSS) and Microsoft Azure Data Lake Store (ADLS) also posted proposals and prototypes. MAPREDUCE was updated to work with the next generation of the YARN timeline service. The Yetus project has greatly improved CI and regression testing, particularly across branches. Given the Hadoop project's intent to cut releases from trunk again, Yetus's support for feature branches is particularly helpful. RELEASES Releases have been blocked on HADOOP-12893, bringing the NOTICE and LICENSE files up to date. It is recently resolved.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. YARN development yielded improvements in preemption, hardening of the timeline server, and a new web UI. Designs for resource-aware scheduling and long-running services are being shaped in JIRA. HDFS erasure coding, native client, object store (Ozone), and intra-datanode rebalancing are significant areas under development. MapReduce continues to receive bug fixes, but even maintenance has slowed. Trademark enforcement continues to be a challenge. While most vendors have engaged quickly and positively, slow (non-)compliance falls off the radar. We are working with trademarks@ to amortize the costs of engagement with templates and will track these incidents in the BRAND JIRA as appropriate, to track followup.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. In YARN, resource-aware scheduling (YARN-1011) continues to make progress on a branch, particularly for oversubscription and distributed scheduling. Other areas of active development include node labels, reservations, docker support, and the timeline server. In HDFS, a long-awaited native client (HDFS-8707) has made progress in a branch. Other areas include the WebHDFS protocol, truncate, erasure coding, and intra-datanode rebalancing. Discussion on the dev list suggests that support for erasure coding will likely be pushed from the next release, to 2.9 or 3.0.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. In YARN, support for resizeable containers (YARN-1197) merged to trunk and branch-2, where its development continues. Application priorities (YARN-1963) and the v2 timeline server (YARN-2928) continue to make progress. Failover, HA, and rolling upgrade support were polished. Some issues related to resource-aware scheduling advanced, tentatively. Support for Docker containers (YARN-3611) improved, trending toward support for multiple runtimes (YARN-3853). In HDFS, support for erasure coding (HDFS-7285) merged to trunk. Many improvements focused on improving interactions between features (storage policies, upgrade domains, erasure coding, etc.). Separation between the namespace and block management, years in development, has received renewed attention (e.g., HDFS-8966). HDFS also separated its client(s) into a separate package. Another native client implementation (HDFS-8707) has made steady progress. In MapReduce, bug fixes, stability improvements, and documentation comprised most of the activity. It remains in maintenance mode. In Common, Hadoop dev support scripts were rewritten and split into Yetus, a new TLP. The s3a and wasb filesystem bindings also received many bug fixes and improvements. Portability of native code improved. The community continues to stabilize the 2.6.x and 2.7.x branches (currently voting on 2.7.2), and has discussed a 2.8.0 release. It also opened a discussion of patch workflows, as alternatives to JIRA/patch files/RTC. While the Github integration is currently enabled, project members are working with other communitities and infra on alternatives (e.g., Gerrit).

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. In YARN, work generalizing node labels, improving Docker support, and implementing v2 of the timeline server made progress. Support for resizable containers also appears on-track. A proposal for federated YARN clusters has design docs and some preliminary code in a branch. In HDFS, the erasure coding work continues to make progress in a branch. The object store also has a design doc for discussion and a preliminary set of patches has been committed to a branch. A native client and prototype HTTP/2 protocol have also made progress in branches. In Common, work refining the test-patch scripts has expanded its scope to become a separable component that could support other projects in the ecosystem. Work revising the native build for Solaris also expanded to remake much of the native build infrastructure. The S3 filesystem shim was also updated extensively.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. In YARN, the next iteration of the TimelineServer, work on network shaping, per-queue policies, and collecting node metrics for scheduling have made progress. Work on erasure coding in HDFS continues. A design document for the object store (HDFS-7240) also appeared. Activity is low in MapReduce, mostly bug fixes and repairs for unstable tests. Overhaul of shell scripts continues in Common, in addition to changes supporting pluggable authentication and authorization.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The 2.6 release added a large set of features and made many improvements, including transparent encryption, heterogeneous/tiered storage, support for Docker containers, reservation-based scheduling, node labels, S3a support, key management server (KMS), service registry, and rolling upgrades in YARN. Ongoing development in YARN includes a new round of improvements to the timeline server (YARN-2928), nodemanager decommission and work-preserving restart (YARN-914, YARN-1336, YARN-556), improved locking in the RM (YARN-3091), shared cache (YARN-1492), and disk as a resource (YARN-2139). Ongoing development in HDFS includes erasure coding (HDFS-7285), support for truncate (HDFS-3107), namenode synchronization (HDFS-7396), and a native client (HDFS-6994). MapReduce received a healthy set of bug fixes and stability improvements.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The 2.6 release has branched for release. In addition to bug fixes, it adds several new features and refines existing work in the 2.x release series. Among the notable work in YARN: improvements to its fault tolerance and support for rolling upgrades (YARN-556, YARN-1336), timeline/history server (YARN-1530), log handling (YARN-2443), admission control/planning (YARN-1051), support for long-running services (YARN-913), node labels (YARN-796), and large container allocation (YARN-1769). Among the notable work in HDFS: tiered storage in archival (HDFS-6584), in-memory replicas (HDFS-6581), inotify support (HDFS-6634), extended attributes (HDFS-2006), encryption (HDFS-6134, HADOOP-10150), and a native client implementation. In MapReduce, a native collector (MAPREDUCE-2841) offers improved performance to many deployments. Work started earlier in the 2.x branch- particularly related to security, encryption, and high availability- continues apace.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. YARN development of a generic TimelineServer, resource tracking for disk and network resources, caching of common dependencies, support for container preemption, and other features continues. The HDFS extended attributes feature branch merged to trunk (2014-06-11). Thorough specification of FileSystem semantics (HADOOP-9361) also successfully merged. Native checksumming, hedged reads, features built over HA interfaces, NFS, and ACLs are also actively developed in trunk and release branches. Across all projects, work adding encryption and security features continues in a development branch. The project changed its bylaws to allow 5 days for release votes, instead of the 7 allocated for other decisions.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The YARN execution platform continues to evolve by generalizing from the specific requirements of the MapReduce framework. As one prominent example, a development branch implementing a more general application history server (YARN-321) merged to trunk and the 2.x release series. The operability and robustness of the platform is also improved by recent attention to failover and recovery in the ResourceManager and NodeManager components (e.g., YARN-1336, YARN-1815). The HDFS subproject also merged two significant development branches to trunk: rolling upgrades (HDFS-5535) and ACLs (HDFS-4685). Improvements in the Common RPC layer, short-circuit reads, and 'hedged' reads (HDFS-5776) evolve Hadoop storage toward more heterogeneous workloads and architectures.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The Hadoop project reached a significant milestone, releasing Hadoop 2.2.0 as the first GA artifact in that series. Two development branches have merged to trunk: In-memory caching of HDFS blocks (HDFS-4949) (29-Oct-2013) and the first phase in presenting heterogeneous storage to applications (HDFS-2832) (13-Dec-2013). Development of these features continues in trunk. YARN continues to refine its resource model. Salient issues include modifying containers (YARN-1197), delegating cluster resources (YARN-1488), and improving its model for services (YARN-896). Work on improving high availability in the ResourceManager (YARN-149), particularly YARN-1029, has made very promising progress.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The 2.x series reached beta status in August, targeting a GA release before the end of the year. Work hardening the release continues apace. The project updated its bylaws to allow for "branch committers" in support of feature development by newer contributors. The first set are collaborating on a security initiative that has been discussed on the dev list, in meetups, and in related JIRAs since last spring.

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. There is little to report, as we submitted an off-cycle report in June. Security discussions on the dev list converge slowly, but consensus is developing around implementation tasks, if not the precise shape of that work. Preparation for the 2.1-beta release continues. Contributors continue to stabilize APIs, iron out incompatibilities with the 1.x codebase, and integrate with related projects. When the Hadoop project spun off subprojects a few years ago, the projects adjusted their committer roles. We'd been ambivalent about finishing that, but finally did, removing about 11 accounts (none had participated since then).

Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. This is an off-cycle report, as the last few weeks were eventful. The Hadoop project made five releases from three active development branches, elected 7 members to the PMC, and added five committers. The project amended its bylaws to eliminate votes on "release plans".

Given that a majority vote of the PMC establishes a new release, the meaning of this rarely-observed ritual is ambiguous: there was a vote, but nothing in it was binding. After several weeks of heated exchanges that accomplished nothing, the PMC voted to remove the clause from the bylaws entirely. Now, any committer who wants to roll a release notifies the dev list to explain its motivation and get preliminary feedback, but there is no vote. The completely avoidable confusion these threads created has mostly resolved.
Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing
distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers.
Two significant development branches merged to trunk:
- Support for Windows
( http://s.apache.org/e7c )
- (HDFS) Fast-path for local reads on Linux (merge vote closing presently)
( http://s.apache.org/gM )
( http://s.apache.org/7y1 )
Developers have run Hadoop on Windows by emulating its *NIX dependencies,
but the former branch effects a cleaner integration. The latter branch
removed a performance hack for trusted services, replacing it with a more
secure and general implementation for all HDFS clients. Developers on
Windows requested that the workaround remain intact while comparable
functionality is implemented on that platform.
The two merge votes were nearly concurrent, so the development community
discussed the tradeoffs in supporting the new platform, particularly given
the present example of its impact. The informal consensus laid the burden of
support, testing, and monitoring on the subset of developers working on
Windows. Concretely, this extracted commitments to set up and maintain CI
infrastructure while relieving others of requirements to fix breakage on a
platform they may not run. As applied to the HDFS branch being merged, the
implementor(s) of the feature restored the workaround. The dev community
converged on these banal agreements fairly quickly.
Increased collaboration with the Apache Bigtop project in the release
process has improved early detection of downstream integration issues. The
upcoming release of 2.0.4-alpha (currently being voted on) has benefitted
significantly.
Hadoop continues to be an umbrella hosting effectively independent projects
(HDFS, MapReduce, YARN). The PMC has not discussed its disposition to
partition them recently. While one of the prenominate merges is an example
of cross-project work, such patches remain rare.
No issues require board attention at this time.

The discussions included *analysis* of voting patterns w.r.t employers, accusations and counter-accusations about reasons for those patterns such as marketing etc., a proposal to *rotate PMC chair organization* as one of the remedies, which eventually veered into a direction where one PMC member perceived it as a of 'threat to remove all PMC members of an organization' which was rapidly diffused by a clarification by the other PMC member. In the end, one of the 2 candidates tied after the vote withdrew to allow for an amicable solution and also cited concerns about the nature of some of the discussions. Clearly, the lesson the Hadoop PMC has learnt is that, in future, voting should be done via the ASF Voting Tool. As the outgoing Chair, my personal recommendation is that splitting the Hadoop project into separate TLPs (HDFS, YARN, MapReduce) will not only break up the 'umbrella' Hadoop project to better reflect the fact that the communities are significantly disparate, but will also, more importantly, help avoid excessive fascination with the Hadoop brand. We've discussed about this in the past (see October 2012 Board Report) - some people agree about this, others don't. We'll continue to talk. Overall, aside from these skirmishes, the community continues to function in a healthy manner as evinced by the fact that we continue to make a significant number of software releases, grow the community by adding new users/contributors/committers/PMC-members and generally make great forward progress. Hence, I feel there isn't any reason for the Board to take any action.

No action from the Board is necessary now. We've added a new Hadoop YARN sub-project. We had a fairly contentious public discussion on splitting Apache Hadoop into separate projects since there are at least 3 very distinct developer communities in Apache Hadoop now: HDFS, YARN & MapReduce. For now the community has voted to merge separate committer lists, but there seems to be some emerging, albeit very early/tenuous consensus that after hadoop-2 is declared 'stable' we should split the project into separate projects (HDFS, YARN, MapReduce). This will better reflect reality that they have distinct communities. No action from the Board is necessary now.

Hadoop status report for October 2011
Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and
managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity
computers.
On the people side, we have a couple of new people join our ranks.
* Giri Kesavan, and Jitendra Pandey have accepted a role in the PMC
* 4 people have accepted committership. Alejandro Abdelnur, Harsh J
Chouraria, Eric Yang and Ramya Sunil
* A new PMC Chair (Arun Murthy) is being recommended to the board for
their approval.
On the project side, we have made some exciting progress.
- 0.20.205's vote has closed successfully, and will be released shortly.
This release integrates two major features (security & append), of which
the append feature was topic of much internal debate, so this is an
excellent outcome for the health of Hadoop, and allows other projects like
HBase to use a 'official' release.
- Work on Hadoop 0.23 release is continuing, and is scheduled for release
at the end of the month
- Konstantin Shvachko is now leading the 0.22 Release process
- Mavenization of our codebase is complete
- Developer community is working well together
- Vendors are continuing to use the lists to promote their own products.
We are formulating appropriate responses to discourage this practice.
No action from the board is required at this stage.

Larry asked and Owen answered what the "Hadoop naming debate" is. It is a reference to whether to accept http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Defining%20Hadoop which seeks to limit the name "Hadoop" to mean releases from Apache and pushing all other derived products to be "powered by Hadoop." There was generally support except from the companies that use the Hadoop name for derivative products. There was a request to suspend the vote for more discussion, but once the vote stopped the discussion stopped.
Report missing; will report next month.
Hadoop status report for April 2011
Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and
managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity
computers.
On the people side, we have a couple of new people join our ranks.
* Todd Lipcon has accepted a role in the PMC
* Koji Noguchi has accepted a role as a committer in both HDFS & MR.
* Matthew Foley has accepted a role as a committer in HDFS.
* We have another invitations outstanding, and hope he will take
up the committer role shortly.
On the branding side, we and the trademark group have been actively
engaging companies to make proper use and attribution of our Apache Hadoop
Trademark. These discussions are ongoing, and generally positive.
On the product release side, Nigel is continuing to progress with the 0.22
release. We have 18 outstanding blockers. HADOOP-7106, which re-organizes
some SVN structure, should be committed by the end of next week.
MAPREDUCE-2178 is the biggest outstanding blocker that many other depend
on. Still no clear plan on getting it fixed.
and Arun has taken over with the 0.20.200 (formerly known as 0.20.3).
He pushed a giant patch to the branch-0.20-security branch. Then, based on
the feedback from the community, Owen took over and committed individual
patches for the same codebase to the branch. Currently we have a couple of
unit tests failing, after fixing them we should be good to make an
official release after getting necessary approvals from the PMC.
Discussions around rationalize the codebase have started, with mrunit
being moved to the incubator, and further discussions about either
maintain the contrib modules or moving them to apache-extras/incubator
The biggest news is saved for last. Yahoo! has announced that they will
stop maintaining their own internal codebase, and switch to actively
developing on the apache one. This is a great step forward, and they have
also started having more discussions about architecture (MR-279) on the
list. We look forward to more in-depth discussions happening in the
public forums.

Hadoop status report for January 2011
Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and
managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity
computers.
Nigel has volunteered to RM the 0.22, and it is making progress, the previous
RM stepped down due to not having enough time since the 6685 patch was not
going to make this release. Progress on 6685 has not really progressed.
Owen has volunteered to RM the 0.20.3 release, and there is discussions
about integrating the 'security' patch-set that Yahoo! is developing, that
Arun has volunteered to RM. Both of these are separate branches.
We have invited 11 new committers into the project this month, all have
accepted, are in the process of getting their accounts setup. We also had
2-3 people who the PMC felt were not ready for committership yet. There is
still a lot of discussion about what the criteria of what makes a committer,
but I think we are in a better place than before.
We are working with the brand management team about Yahoo!'s and
Cloudera's use of Hadoop's name. Both of these are showing good progress
thanks to the brand management teams hard work.
We are still having lots of discussions about future work on the 0.20 branch
this includes the security patch-set, adding append, and the 0.20.3 release
The security patch-set has it's own issues, due to it requiring some work
if it will be contributed as separate patches, and also how it the work will
be applied to the upcoming 0.22 release. (see http://s.apache.org/NfJ &
http://s.apache.org/uf for the discussions around the append branch & security
branches) there have been a couple of misunderstandings around the security
releases.
We have also started discussions about why we have so many mailing lists,
what they are used for, and the possibility of combining some of them (and
2 code bases). We have updated the website to provide better documentation.
The codebase discussion is more about moving directories around, rather than
combining them into a single one.

Hadoop status report for July 2010 to October 2010
Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and
managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity
computers.
The 2rd annual Hadoop World was held on 12 October in NYC. It had 900
attendees. before the conference. The program is available here:
http://www.cloudera.com/company/press-center/hadoop-world-nyc/agenda/.
The divestiture of sub-projects has continued. We have promoted Hive,
and Pig to be top level Apache projects and Chukwa to the
Incubator. This has had the positive effect that the majority of the
current PMC is involved in the core projects (Common, HDFS and
MapReduce).
The Hadoop PMC removed one member, who has completely dropped out of contact:
* Jim Kellerman
and as part of moving subprojects out, the following PMC members resigned:
* Alan Gates
* Ashish Thusoo
* Daniel Dai
* Namit Jain
* Olga Natkovich
* Pradeep Kamath
The tension between Cloudera and Yahoo has dramatically increased this
quarter and is past the breaking point. This was exacerbated by the
board's sudden insistence that the Hadoop project pick a new PMC chair
without discussing the issues with anyone other than the Cloudera
employee sitting on the board. Over the last 2.5 years, I've done my
best to do what was right for the Hadoop project and it is too bad the
community has degenerated to the current state. I sincerely want to
get the problems resolved so that we can get back to developing
software and enjoying a community that can work together.
Critical issues for the Hadoop PMC to address:
* Change is difficult and this will involve change.
* We need to enact bylaws so that there is a clear understanding of
the rules.
* The PMC needs to define and document the goals and processes that the
project will follow going forward.
* Expectations about committers reviewing each other's patches
* Expectations about becoming a committer and PMC member.
* Policies about expecting PMC members and committers to stay
involved. People without skin in the game who vote without
working on the project are just signing up other people for
work.
* Poisonous people within the project need to be managed.
* Cloudera's abuse of the Hadoop trademark in their product names needs to be
halted.

Three GSOC students completed their projects successfully. This
resulted in significant new functionality being added to the project,
and some renewed interest from a contributor standpoint. Two of the
three students have indicated that they are interested to continue
working in the community.
The discussion to move ZooKeeper to TLP status has been reopened and
is in progress at the time of this writing.
Feedback and community involvement has been slowly increasing, we
frequently meet with users during Hadoop meetups and hold site visits.
Good report; looks like progress is being made here.
Hadoop status report for April 2010 to July 2010 Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. The 3rd annual Hadoop Summit was held on 29 June in Santa Clara. It sold out at 1,000 attendees 10 days before the conference. The program is available here: http://developer.yahoo.com/events/hadoopsummit2010/agenda.html. The slides and videos of the presentations are available online. The second Hadoop World was announced in NYC on 12 October. The call for presentations is open until 2 August. There are a large number of local Hadoop User Groups around the world. The Bay Area HUG meets monthly and has an audience of roughly 300 people. To increase communication and reduce tensions, the SF Bay Area core contributors (Common, HDFS, and MapReduce) have been having monthly meetings that rotate between venues (Cloudera, Facebook, and Yahoo!). We've discussed wide-ranging topics from process issues to new technical ideas. All of the notes and slides are distributed on the lists to engage developers who can't attend. The Hadoop PMC added the following members: * Sanjay Radia (Yahoo) * Hemath Yamijala (indep) CHUKWA Chukwa is a distributed log collection framework that aggregates logs from across a cluster into a reasonable number of HDFS files. As part of the continuing Hadoop divestiture of sub-projects, Chukwa's developers were encouraged to move to Apache Incubator. Although Chukwa has already completed many of the Incubator graduation requirements (diversity of committers, code clearance, releases), they have not voted in new contributors or PMC members. Also, none of the Chukwa committers have been on any Apache PMC's and need more guidance than jumping into a TLP would have provided. Some of the work has been done (accepted by Incubator, moved subversion, added to Incubator wiki), but more is left to do (web site, mailing lists). They are scheduled to report next month as a Podling. COMMON Common is the shared libraries for HDFS and MapReduce.

Hadoop status report for January 2010 to April 2010 Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. In response to the board's request that we evaluate the Hadoop sub-projects with respect to ensuring adequate supervision. Here is the breakdown by sub-project: * Avro and HBase have decided to each become a TLP. * Pig and ZooKeeper have discussed the issue and would prefer to remain a sub-project for now. The three primary concerns are the work of splitting themselves out, a lack of organizational diversity in the committers, and loss of visibility if the Hadoop TLP site doesn't link to them. The last concern can be addressed by ensuring that the TLP *does* continue to link to their project pages. These projects are adequately monitored and have good representation on the PMC, but the PMC is still discussing what the their recommendation to the board is. * Hive hasn't discussed the issue, which needs to be addressed. I expect that it is in the same group as Pig and ZooKeeper. * Chukwa still struggles to broaden its community from the original developers and to reach consensus on its goals. It has three committers, but no representation on the PMC, which makes it difficult to make releases and ensure adequate supervision. The PMC has not yet discussed what to do with Chukwa. * Common, HDFS, and MapReduce are still very tightly bound. Many patches cross 2 or 3 of the 3 sub-projects and each of the trunks only builds against the other project's trunks. They are branched and released in unison. They will likely remain together for a long time. We started the process of discussing the bylaws that Hadoop should adopt, but we need to drive this through to completion. I would suggest that in the future, projects which are becoming TLP establish bylaws as part of being created. Without explicit bylaws, there are many votes for which it isn't clear what the required level of consensus is. The Hadoop PMC added the following members: * Namit Jain AVRO Avro is an inter-language serialization and RPC library that supports versioning of schemas and protocols for both compiled and interpreted languages. A resolution to promote Avro to a top-level project is currently before the board. If the board passes this resolution, this will be Avro's last report as a Hadoop subproject. Avro made three releases this quarter, 1.3.0, 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. We expect to make a 1.4.0 release in the next quarter. Development has been active in all versions of Avro: C, C++, Java, Python, and Ruby. Three new, legally-independent committers were added this quarter: * Jeff Hodges * Scott Carey * Bruce Mitchener CHUKWA Chukwa is a distributed log collection framework that aggregates logs from across a cluster into a reasonable number of HDFS files. Release: * Testing Chukwa 0.4.0 RC1 to RC3 Current state of community * 4 active contributors * 15 subscribers on chukwa-dev * 17 subscribers on chukwa-user The upcoming 0.4 release will include new real time Hadoop Activity monitor for small to mid scale Chukwa deployment and JMSAdaptor for pulling data from JMX. COMMON Common is the shared libraries for HDFS and MapReduce. Releases: * 0.20.2 (including HDFS and MapReduce) was released on 2/16/2010 with 29 patches * We plan to rebase the 0.21 branch to trunk this month New committers: * none Community: * 963 subscribers on common-dev * 1924 subscribers on common-user The development has continued to be active, including Kerberos-based and token-based authentication to the RPC. The previous 0.21 branch failed to be released and we expect to rebase the branch to the current trunk in the next few weeks. The challenge is learning how to adapt our project and processes to the growing importance of Hadoop. We are moving toward a release manager-based approach similar to the HTTPD one, in the hopes that will lead to stable releases without stagnating on the 0.20 branch forever. We are also requiring more thought out, documented, and tested changes. Changes that are backwards incompatible or potentially destabilizing must go through a lot of scrutiny. This is all part of the process of moving from a research prototype to a critical piece of infrastructure in our respective organizations. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database built on top of Hadoop Common and HDFS. A resolution to promote HBase to a top-level project is currently before the board. If the board passes this resolution, this will be HBase's last report as a Hadoop subproject. Releases: * 0.20.3 on 2010/01/25 -- 74 fixes. * There is currently a release candidate out for 0.20.4 New Committers: * None Community * HBase User Group 9 met at Mozilla, 03/10/2010 * HBase User Group 10 and Hackathon happening 04/19/2010 HDFS HDFS is a distributed file system that support reliable replicated storage across the cluster using a single name space. Releases: * We plan to rebase the 0.21 branch to trunk this month New committers: * None Community: * 11 new code contributors * 25 committers * 194 code contributors * 205 subscribers to hdfs-dev * 317 subscribers to hdfs-user Work is in progress to incorporate security features into HDFS. HIVE Hive is a data warehouse written on top of Hadoop. It provides SQL to query and manage data stored in Hadoop in table and partitions and provides a metastore to metadata information about the data stored in hadoop. Releases: release 0.5.0 on 2010/02/23. This release has 106 bug fixes, 39 new features and 26 improvements. New committers: * John Sichi Community: * Hive User Group meetup at Facebook, 03/18/2010 attended by over 70 people. * A total of 138 people have commented, filed bugs or contributed on the Hive JIRA so far. This number was at 115 at the time of the last report. MAPREDUCE MapReduce is a distribute computation framework for easily writing applications that process large volumes of data. Releases: * We plan to rebase the 0.21 branch to trunk this month New committers: * None Community: * 178 subscribers to mapreduce-dev * 280 subscribers to mapreduce-user Features: Security features are being implemented that include both the Kerberos-based and token-based authentication and authorization so that user's can define who is allowed to do what on their job. PIG Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. Releases: * Pig 0.6.0 released on 3/1/2010 New committers: * Dmitriy Ryaboy * Thejas Nair Community: * 15 committers * 181 developers (compared to 171 in the last report) * 402 users (compared to 225 in the last report) We've put out 4 GSOC ideas and received 2 student proposals. Pig community reviewed the board's request to promote some of the subprojects to TLP. Pig community consensus is to stay as Hadoop subproject for the time being. Detailed discussion can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/pig-dev@hadoop.apache.org/msg08589.html. ZOOKEEPER ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed applications. Releases: * release 3.3.0 on 25/March/10 New committers: none Community: * 5 active committers, 2 PMC members * 147 subscribers on zookeeper-dev (up from 114 3 months ago) * 269 subscribers on zookeeper-user (up from 225 in the same timeframe) We've put out a number of GSOC ideas and seen 6 student proposals. Mentors are reviewing and we hope to gain a number of projects for GSOC 2010. Feedback and community involvement has been slowly increasing, we frequently meet with users during Hadoop meetups and hold site visits. Work is underway to certify and support running the ZooKeeper service in production under Windows servers. The ZooKeeper community reviewed the board's request to examine subprojects with an eye to graduation to TLP status. Please find the results of the ZooKeeper as TLP discussion here: http://bit.ly/c4fuZT There was consensus amongst the development team that we will stay as a subproject of Hadoop for the time being. Full details of the discussion can be found in the thread provided
Wide concern that there is a disconnect between how Hadoop is run and the expectation from the board on how Apache projects are run; Jim to join the mailing list.

Justin suggested that the board ask that the Hadoop project answer the same questions regarding spinning off subprojects that was asked of Lucene in the previous month. Doug indicated that this was in progress.
Hadoop status report for July to October 2009 Hadoop is a set of related tools and frameworks for creating and managing distributed applications running on clusters of commodity computers. Hadoop World NYC on 2009/10/02 was well received by roughly 500 attendees. It was organized by Cloudera and sponsored by Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon WebServices, IBM, Rackspace, Softlayer, eHarmony, SuperMicro, Intel, Impetus, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Vertica. The format was similar to Hadoop Summit with a general session with six 20 minute talks in the morning and three tracks each with ten 30 minute talks in the afternoon. Hadoop World China will be held next month. AVRO Avro is an inter-language serialization and RPC library that supports versioning of schemas and protocols for both compiled and interpreted languages. Releases: * release 1.2.0 on 2009-10-14 * release 1.1.0 on 2009-09-08 * release 1.0.0 on 2009-07-09 New committers: Matt Massie Thiruvalluvan M. G. CHUKWA Chukwa is a distributed log collection framework that aggregates logs from across a cluster into a reasonable number of HDFS files. New committers: Jerome Boulon The SALSA and Mochi suite of Hadoop log analysis and visualization tools, built at Carnegie Mellon, have been progressively phased in and integrated with the Chukwa log collection and processing infrastructure. The basic analysis and visualization components are available, and further work is being done to improve the user-friendliness of operating these added tools, and to improve the automated manageability for analysis and visualization. This can also serve as a roadmap for other analysis tools to be integrated with Chukwa. Development has been proceeding steadily. Chukwa is substantially more reliable, flexible and robust than it was a year ago, or even four months ago. The system is in production use at UC Berkeley, and a number of user suggestions have been incorporated. We intend to release 0.3 in the coming weeks. COMMON Common is the shared libraries for HDFS and MapReduce. Releases: * release 0.19.2 on 2009/06/30 with 40 issues * release 0.20.1 on 2009/09/01 with 87 issues * branch 0.21 was made on 2009/09/18 New committers: Konstantin Boudnik for QA Suresh Srinivas Community: * 784 subscribers on common-dev * 1738 subscribers on common-user The upcoming 0.21 release will include the new FileContext API, which will replace the FileSystem API, and the visibility and audience annotations that let us mark the intended public-ness of various classes. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database built on top of Hadoop Common and HDFS. HBase had a User Group meeting on August 7th and a Hackathon over the weekend of August 7-9.

Hadoop is a trademark of the ASF, and Hadoop World is a conference and therefore needs to be approved by ConCom. Originally, there was some confusion, but as ConCom approves of this usage, so no issue.
ConCom will work to clarify policies, such as whether the name of such conferences (in the future, not retroactively) need to be named as Apache Hadoop World or the like.
Hadoop status report for April to July 2009.

Feedback and community involvement has been slowly increasing, we
frequently meet with users during Hadoop meetups and hold site visits.
Regarding Hadoop Common: Greg wondered if Common could move over to commons.apache.org
Doug suggested that that was premature, and that much of the code may not be useful to non-Hadoop applications.
Brett agreed that that would not make sense.
Regarding developer meet up: Justin: only committers were invited, if somebody else had showed up, would they have been allowed?
Doug: invitations were sent directly to committers.
Jim: would others have been allowed?
Doug: others did hear about it and did attend. I would appreciate clear guidelines.
Roy: committers only is normal for a dev meeting
Jim: I remember an issue with a "closed" meeting with Geronimo, and will dig up those minutes. You want to avoid any impression that it is by invitation only.
Roy: there is no problem with contributors only, the problem is if you only invite a subset of the contributors
Justin: the issue is that contributors may be a superset of committers
Doug: I would be happy with a rule that it should be discussed on the dev list, and be invitation only, with all committers being included
Jim: that makes sense
Roy: suggests updating /dev with this information
Jim: volunteers?
Roy: will do
Hadoop is a set of tools for creating and managing distributed applications, especially those with large data sets. Hadoop was the focus of a nice article in the New York Times (http://tinyurl.com/coafzr) on 17 March 2009. Unfortunately, the article failed to mention that Hadoop is an Apache project. The PMC added 8 new members: Raghu Angadi, Devaraj Das, Chris Douglas, Alan Gates, Mahadev Konar, Hairong Kuang, Konstantin Shvachko, and Ashish Thusoo. We've also voted to create two new subprojects: Chukwa and Avro. Chukwa is a distributed log aggregation and cluster monitoring system that was originally in Core's contrib directory. The initial committers for Chukwa are Ariel Rabkin and Eric Yang. Avro is a serialization and RPC library with a focus on supporting versioned persistent data and supporting scripting languages. The initial committers for Avro are Doug Cutting and Sharad Agarwal. Hadoop was well represented at ApacheCon EU, with a track of talks about Core, HBase, and Pig. A Hadoop Summit is being organized for June 10th in Santa Clara. CORE, HDFS, and MAP/REDUCE Core is the fundamental set of utilities, including RPC, serialization, and compression that the rest of Hadoop depends on. HDFS provides a distributed file system. Map/Reduce provides a framework for distributed applications that process large data sets. Amazon has started explicitly marketing and supporting Hadoop as a service on EC2 at a much lower cost than a standard EC2 virtual machine. We are still in the process of factoring Map/Reduce and HDFS out of Core. The code is separated and all that is left to be split are the unit test cases and their dependencies. Releases: 0.20.0 is nearing release, with 280 jiras addressed. 0.18.3 was released on 27 Jan 2009 with 51 jiras addressed. The current plan is to try and release Core, HDFS, and Map/Reduce 1.0 this year. Community: Core has added Sharad Agarwal, Giri Kesavan, Ariel Rabkin, Sanjay Radia, and Eric Yang as committers. The community is active and growing. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database, build on top of Hadoop Core. Releases: 0.18.1 was released on 27 October 2008. 14 issues were addressed. 0.19.0 was released on 21 January 2009. 184 issues were addressed. 0.19.1 was released on 19 March 2009. 43 issues were addressed. Work is underway on release 0.20.0 with 97 of 174 issues resolved. It is expected that many of the open issues will be pushed to a subsequent release. Meet-ups: January 14, 2009; March 3, 2009 - HBase User Group meetings in San Francisco January 30, 2009 - HBase Hackathon in Los Angeles Community: There are no new committers since the last report. There are about 7 active contributors (of which 3 are committers). There are also a number of people who come by to "kick the tires" but then leave because of possible data loss due to a lack of a patch for HADOOP-4379. HIVE Hive is a data warehouse written on top of Hadoop Core. It provides a SQL to query and manage data stored in hadoop in table and partitions. Releases: Our 0.2.0 branch that was to be released in Feb, 2009 was not released and was not put for a vote as there were some significant fixes which the community felt should be checked in before it could be put to vote. As this branch was not fully soak tested on Facebook production load, we decided to target the 0.3.0 branch for release. 0.3.0 was branched in Mar, 2009. All the blockers in that branch have been fixed. We are going to put a release candidate from that branch up for vote by Apr 15, 2009. At present there are 177 open issues with none of them as a blocker for 0.3.0. 111 issues have been resolved since the last report in January. Community: Hive continues to see growth in the number and diversity of contributors. Since the last report the number of contributors in the project have grown from 16 to 21. We added Prasad Chakka, Raghu Murthy, Johan Oskarsson, and Joydeep Sen Sarma as committers. PIG Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. A vote was called on Pig 0.2.0 on 3/27/09. This release is major redesign of the system including addition of type system, significant (2-10x) performance improvements, addition of Limit, ORDER BY desc and Grunt shell improvements. ZOOKEEPER ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed applications. Releases: 3.1.0 was released on 2009/02/13 with 70 jiras fixed. 3.1.1 was released on 2009/03/27 with 11 jiras fixed. Our next release, 3.2.0, is slated for 5/26/2009. A number of major new features will be included, in particular; extending the client libraries to include common ZK use cases (recipes), adding REST based API to the server, Perl binding support, numerous optimizations. Community: Feedback and community involvement has been slowly increasing, we frequently meet with users during Hadoop meetups and hold site visits.
There was a discussion around umbrella projects. There's some general concern about splitting up tightly coupled projects. Fear of losing cross pollination. J. Aaron will post to board@/members@.
Bertrand takes the action item to communicate the board view on umbrella projects; recommend thinking about spinning off self-contained projects to TLP.
Hadoop status report for September 2008 to January 2009. Hadoop is a set of tools for creating and managing distributed applications. There were various Hadoop user meetings: * Beijing * Berlin * Los Angeles (HBase) * New Orleans (as part of ApacheCon US) * New York * San Diego * San Francisco (HBase) * Santa Clara CORE, HDFS, and MAP/REDUCE Core is the fundamental set of utilities, including RPC, serialization, and compression that the rest of Hadoop depends on. HDFS provides a distributed file system. Map/Reduce provides a framework for distributed applications that process large data sets. The pace of development in Core is very rapid and the community is active. Some of the Chinese developers have translated the documentation for Core into Chinese and submitted them as a patch. Although the work to factor out Hive is complete, the factoring for HDFS and Map/Reduce is pretty close and they should become separate subprojects in the next 3 months. Discussions, plans, and work have continued to work toward a 1.0 release of Core, HDFS, and Map/Reduce. The hope is to achieve the desired levels of compatibility and stability and release 1.0 this year. Releases: 0.20.0 is feature-frozen, but unreleased with 184 jiras fixed. 0.19.0 was released on 2008/11/18 with 360 jiras fixed. 0.18.2 was released on 2008/11/3 with 25 jiras fixed. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database, built on top of Hadoop Core. Releases: 0.18.1 was released on 2008/10/27 with 14 jiras fixed. 10 of 11 issues have been addressed for 0.18.2, but it is unclear if 0.18.2 will be released given that 0.19.0 will be released soon. At this point, 176 of 176 issues have been addressed for hbase-0.19.0. Testing is in progress at this moment. If no new blocker issues are identified, a release candidate will be published in the next few days. HIVE Hive is a data warehouse written on top of hadoop. It provides a SQL to query and manage data stored in hadoop in table and partitions. Hive was split out of Core on 11/12/2008. Most of the migration related work from hadoop contrib to hadoop subproject has been completed. Enabling Hudson builds for Hive is still pending. Continuous builds on committed changes using CABIE are already enabled. Releases: We are planning to make our first release, which is named 0.2.0, sometime in the Feb 2009. At present we have 130 outstanding issues with 23 of those identified as blockers for a release. 103 issues have so far been resolved since Hive was open sourced. Hive has added Ashish Thusoo and Namit Jain as committers. The number of contributors to the project has grown from 7 to 16 since Hive became a hadoop subproject. 6 of these are contributors external to facebook. PIG Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. Pig graduated from Apache incubator and became Hadoop subproject on 10/17/08 Releases: 0.1.1 was released on 2008/12/8/08 with 2 jiras. Release 0.1.1 was primarily focused on integrating with Hadoop 0.18. Pig welcomed Pradeep Kamath and Santhosh Srinivasan as new committers. ZOOKEEPER Zookeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed applications. Releases: 3.0.1 was released on 2008/11/24 with 16 jiras fixed. 3.0.0 was released on 2008/10/27 with 108 jiras fixed. Our next release, 3.1.0, is slated for 1/19/2009. A number of major new features will be included, in particular; improved management (JMX) support and Quota (ie. filesystem quota) support will also be added. Feedback and community involvement has been slowly increasing.
Hadoop is a set of tools for creating and managing distributed applications. The PMC felt that the Core project had grown difficult to manage as a single subproject. With the core-dev email list topping over 3600 messages last month it is difficult to keep on top of the entire project. We therefore have voted to split Core into 4 pieces: Core, which is the common infrastructure; HDFS, which is the distributed file system; Map/Reduce, which is the distributed computation framework; and Hive, which is a higher-level query processor built on Map/Reduce. After release 0.19 has stabilized we will work on splitting up the code bases. Additionally, we have started a vote whether to accept Pig as a subproject when it graduates from the incubator. We have added Arun Murthy to the PMC. Hadoop will be well represented at ApacheCon US next month. There will be 3 Hadoop talks in the main series and an assortment of related talks at the Hadoop Camp. There will be presentations about the Core, Hive, Pig, and Zookeeper subprojects at Hadoop Camp. CORE Core is a framework for building distributed applications, which includes a distributed file system and map/reduce. Releases: 0.19.0 is feature-frozen, but unreleased, with 270 jiras. 0.18.2 is unreleased, with 3 jiras. 0.18.1 was released on 2008/09/17 with 6 jiras. 0.18.0 was released on 2008/08/19 with 266 jiras. 0.17.3 is unreleased, with 4 jiras. 0.17.2 was released on 2008/08/11, with 12 jiras. The development has been ever increasing with 0.19.0 having the largest number of patches in a release. In 0.19, includes Hive as a contrib module. We have started discussions on the email lists about when we should release 1.0 and what level of forwards and backwards compatibility we should guarantee. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database, build on top of Hadoop Core. Releases: 0.2.0 was released on 2008/08/08. 293 issues were addressed by this release. 0.2.1 was released on 2008/09/13. 44 issues were addressed by this release. 0.18.0 was released on 2008/09/21. 58 issues were addressed by this release. The hbase-0.2.x releases run on hadoop-0.17.x. With hbase-0.18.0, releases have been renumbered to reflect the version of hadoop that the hbase release runs on. Work has started on release 0.18.1. 5 of 9 issues have been addressed. Work has started on release 0.19.0. 25 of 58 issues have addressed. On Wednesday, October 8, Microsoft agreed to let two of their engineers, who are committers and PMC members, resume their contributions to HBase. The contributions had been blocked when Microsoft acquired Powerset last quarter. Andrew Purtell was added as an HBase committer. ZOOKEEPER Zookeeper is a service for coordinating processes of distributed applications. Migration from SourceForge to Apache of source, documentation, wiki, issue tracking, mailing lists, etc... is complete. We are planning to make our first Apache release, which is named 3.0, on Oct 22nd with over 85 issues addressed.
We discussed growth of the project... no significant concerns.
Jim to check on Zookeeper's filling out of the Incubator's IP clearance.
Hadoop is a set of tools for distributed applications. The PMC voted to add a new Hadoop subproject, named Zookeeper, which is a distributed coordination service. Zookeeper was developed by Yahoo and was granted to Apache. Zookeeper should form a great basis for Map/Reduce and HDFS high availability. The original committers are Patrick Hunt, Flavio Junqueira, Mahadev Konar, Andrew Kornev, and Ben Reed. There are now monthly Hadoop user get togethers in northern California (http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/869166) and there is one scheduled for August in London (http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/506444). CORE Core is a framework for building distributed applications, which includes a distributed file system and map/reduce. Releases: 0.18.0 is feature frozen but unreleased, currently with 254 jiras. 0.17.2 is unreleased, currently with 4 jiras 0.17.1 was released 23 June 2008 fixing 10 jiras 0.17.0 was released 18 May 2008 fixing 200 jiras. 0.16.4 was released 5 May 2008 fixing 4 jiras. 0.16.3 was released 16 April 2008 fixing 7 jiras. Core won the annual terabyte sort benchmark http://tinyurl.com/4o8bns, which is the first time that either a Java or an open source program won the competition. Core has added 4 committers, Johan Oskarsson, Lohit Vijaya Renu, Zheng Shao, and Tsz Wo Sze. We've had very active development and active user base. HBASE HBase is a distributed column-oriented database, build on top of Hadoop Core. Releases: 0.1.1 was released on 27 March 2008. 12 issues were addressed by this release. 0.1.2 was released on 13 May 2008. 27 issues were addressed by this release. 0.1.3 was released on 27 June 2008. 16 issues were addressed by this release. The hbase-0.1.x releases runs on hadoop-0.16.x. Work continues on release 0.2.0 which will run on hadoop-0.17.x. 231 of 239 issues have been resolved. We are targeting the end of July for a release candidate. On Tuesday, July 1, Microsoft and Powerset signed a deal for Microsoft to acquire Powerset. Two of the HBase committers (who are also members of the Hadoop PMC) are employed by Powerset and may not be able to continue work on HBase after the deal closes. They and their manager are working with Microsoft to determine what will happen, but may not know for several weeks yet. ZOOKEEPER Zookeeper is a service for coordinating processes of distributed applications. Migration from SourceForge to Apache is in progress. Yahoo's code grant was filed with the ASF, the SourceForge SVN snapshot has been loaded into ASF SVN and Hudson is now running daily builds on the codebase. SourceForge tracker has been fully migrated to Jira and the developers are now using ASF Jira and mailing lists. Migration of documentation and website is in progress and expected to be completed in the next couple of weeks. A new release of ZooKeeper is being worked on in parallel with the move, completing this will be a major focus subsequent to the ASF migration. Ben Reed (Yahoo) and Ted Dunning (Veoh) presented ZooKeeper at the latest Hadoop social - reaction was extremely positive. Many attendees were already using ZK, and almost all were at least familiar with the project.
It was noted that Zookeeper lacks an ip-clearance. Owen agreed to follow up.
Owen reported that Amazon has agreed to donate a few hundred dollars of computer time on EC2 to individual Hadoop developers for testing and benchmarking.
TLP The Hadoop Summit (http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/436226/) occurred on March 25 and had more than 300 people attending. It was well received by the community. CORE Development has been active this month with 0.16.2 being released on 2 April 2008. We will likely release 0.16.3 with 7 jiras this week. Release 0.17, which has 160 jiras, has been branched and will be released when it is stabilized. Hadoop Core was well represented at ApacheCon EU with a BOF and 3 talks by Owen O'Malley, Tom White, and Allen Wittenauer. HBASE The first version of HBase as a subproject, version 0.1.0, was released on March 28th. We are now working on patches for version 0.1.1, which will be released after hadoop-0.16.2. 6 of 8 identified issues have been resolved. With the focus on releasing 0.1.0, progress slowed a bit for release 0.2.0. Since last month, an additional 20 issues have been resolved and an additional 29 have been identified for a total of 74 out of 102 issues resolved.
TLP We have filed the appropriate paperwork for using cryptography within Hadoop. The first use will be HADOOP-2239, which will likely be committed this week. Yahoo and the Computing Community Consortium are sponsoring a Hadoop Summit (http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/436226/) on March 25 to bring together users and developers. 215 people have signed up to attend. CORE We added two committers this month: Mukund Madhugiri for QA and release engineering, and Hemanth Yamjiala for contrib. Development has been active this month and we have released 0.16.1 this month, which fixed 40 jiras. Release 0.17 is scheduled to feature freeze in the first week of April and currently includes 70 committed jiras. HBASE Development has been focused on making our first subproject release, 0.1.0. The 0.1.0 release is feature frozen and runs against Hadoop Core 0.16.x. 20 of the 25 identified blocker issues have been resolved. The priorities for the 0.2 release are robustness and scalability. The proposal is on the HBase Wiki at: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Plan-0.2. HBase 0.2 is based on Hadoop Core trunk and is making progress as well with 54 of 73 issues resolved. An hbase contributor, Dennis Kubes, bought the domain hbase.org for the project, which points to hadoop.apache.org/hbase. A second HBase Users Group meeting was held at Powerset on March 4, with approximately 30 people attending. The meeting was informal, mostly getting the user community to discuss problems they had encountered using HBase and to gather issues blocking the 0.1.0 release.
Greg to work with Owen to arrange for the transfer of the hbase.org domain to the ASF.
TLP The top-level project completed the split of Hadoop out of Lucene and into a TLP. The subproject that was Hadoop, is now called Hadoop Core. We have also moved HBase into a sub-project from being in Hadoop Core's contrib directory. Although Core and HBase have many ties, the contributor list and code base is largely disjoint between them and the split will reduce the heavy traffic on both development lists. CORE Hadoop Core has released 0.16.0, 0.15.3, and 0.15.2. As we move toward more stability, we've moved our feature freezes to every 3 months (beginning of Jan, Apr, July, and Oct). Development has been very active, including adding user permissions to HDFS. (Fixed Jira counts: 23 unreleased, 180 for 0.16.0, 4 for 0.15.3, and 15 for 0.15.2) HBASE HBase, which is a distributed storage system for structured data, has become a subproject of Hadoop. We have added Bryan Duxbury as a committer. Development has been very active (Fixed Jira counts: 7 unreleased, 142 for 0.16.0)
