## Description: - Apache Hama is a framework for Big Data analytics based on the Bulk Synchronous Parallel paradigm ## Issues: - the PMC didn't manage to report in the last 3 board calls for reports. ## Activity: - the activity in the project is low. However new contributors have showed up in the mailing list and started creting Jira issues. ## Health report: - the community is not doing very good. Most of the committers / PMC members do not seem to have enough cycles to contribute to the project. We have raised awareness about the chance for Apache Hama to go Attic, calling out for new contributors. We have seen some positive responses from potential new contributors. We also have voted (submitted for this next board meeting) for a new PMC chair. ## PMC changes: - Currently 10 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Behroz Sikander on Mon Feb 01 2016 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 17 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was JongYoon Lim at Tue Sep 13 2016 ## Releases: - Last release was hama-0.7.1 on Sun Mar 13 2016

Description: Hama was accepted into Incubator on 20 May 2008. Hama is a distributed computing framework based on BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) computing techniques for massive scientific computations. Top 2 or 3 things to resolve prior to graduation: * Complete first release * Invite new active committers * Recruit more mentors Issues for the Incubator PMC or ASF Board: None. Community development: * Mailing list shows increased usage from previous report * Filipe Manana has contributed a great part in the development of BSP computing engine * A number of new individuals have expressed an interest in contributing in various areas * Hama workshop accepted at IEEE CloudCom 2010 Project development: * Our plan is now much more detailed * Work on creating the initial release * Maven building support added
Hama was accepted into Incubator on 20 May 2008. Hama is a distributed scientific package on Hadoop for massive matrix and graph data. Recent Activity: * We designed the User-Interface primarily for BSP programming. * We made a Job Client, Job Manage System for BSP computing framework. Currently, it works on local system, but we're working hard for distributed system. * We made an BSP examples, e.g., Pi Estimator, Serialize Printing The following is planned for next reporting period: * We'll freeze the features and release a beta when all issues for 0.2 version are fixed. Before this project can graduate we need to encourage more participation in the project and grow the community.
Hama was accepted into Incubator on 20 May 2008. Hama is a distributed scientific package on Hadoop for massive matrix and graph data. We're trying to implement the M/R alternative, a new computation framework for matrix/graphs based on BSP. We are doing this because the Hadoop M/R model isn't suitable for the complex numerical/relational data processing since it requires heavy communications among computing nodes. Recently we made a progress in the design of the overall architecture, and the development of the BSP cluster with programming interfaces. And, HAMA project has drawn many interests from Hadoopers. We are now focusing on the very first release of Hama to graduate from incubator.
Hama has been incubating since 19 May, 2008. It is a distributed scientific computational package based on Hadoop Map/Reduce and BSP. Recent Activity: * We'd implemented, introduced the BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) package * Added a new committer, Hyunsik Choi The following is planned for next reporting period: * More documentations * Re-factoring for improving the design of existing code Before this project can graduate we need to encourage more participation in the project and grow the community.
Hama has been incubating since 19 May, 2008. It is a parallel matrix computational package based on Hadoop Map/Reduce. Recent developments: * We implemented BSP(Bulk Synchronous Parallel) library on top of the Hadoop. * We were re-architecting the computing engine based on BSP to solve a problem of performance and locality of sub-blocks in distributed system. Required before graduation: * Recently, the community and patch contribution is increasing. However, we need more committer/reviewers who are capable of proofing algorithm. * We need more documentation (We are preparing to submit a paper to the USENIX) and education about linear algebra and graph algorithm.

Kato is a project to develop the Specification, Reference Implementation, and TCK for JSR 326: the JVM Post-mortem Diagnostics API Recent Activity: * A JVMTI agent has been contributed by Paul Sobek along with an implementation of the API. * The JSR specification document has been written and is building. * The JSR specification has been submitted to the JCP as an EDR. * The project is being built on the ASF's hudson server. The following is planned for next reporting period: * Our first release of the RI, demos and TCK. Before this project can be graduated we need to produce a usable implementation of the API and more useful tools to encourage adoption and participation of a much needed community.

Hama has been incubating since 19 May, 2008. It is a parallel matrix computational package based on Hadoop Map/Reduce. Development activity is medium from mainly two developer, we focus on proofing/benchmarking current code/algorithm recently. A number of inactive initial contributors stepped down from the project. And, 'Saumel Guo' joined to hama project as a new committer. * We are looking for more mathmathicians/committers * We will plan for our first release
Hama is a parallel matrix computational package based on Hadoop. Incubating since: 19 May 2008 * The Hama website was published. * The automated CI server for Hama integration builds was installed. * The users were beginning to evaluate/report the function and perfomance of the Hama. We need to make a guide for the users and developers. === Empire-db === Apache Empire-db is an Open Source relational data persistence component which allows database vendor independent dynamic query definition as well as safe and simple data retrieval and updating. Empire-db entered the incubator on July 8th, 2008 - we've finalized migration from sf.net to apache - commits are coming in - issue tracker is being used - first release tries to go through the incubator - no new additions to the committer roster or ppmc
Hama is a parallel matrix computational package based on Hadoop. The project entered incubation on May 19th, 2008. We are currently working to prepare the first release of Apache Hama in the Apache Incubator. The first release Roadmap is planned. The number of dev subscribers has increased. We should have a page about becoming contributors. We will likely be adding a new project member soon. CCLA sent for KRIBB and NHN's contribution.
Incubating since: 19 May 2008 The intial donation of Hama from the google project was done, but we should firstly discuss and define the architecture before collaboration. IPMC comments: "Before collaboration"? Shouldn't that be done collaboratively? * Hama has been approved by technical commitee at NHN. * But, Some people (Joosun, Changhee) are still waiting for make entries in a CCLA. * The 128-node Hama test cluster was configured at the Korean Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB). * We (see http://wiki.apache.org/hama/ScaLAPACK) met Prof. Choi J., who is a member of the ScaLAPACK team. * The Hama is also good fit with block algorithms using two-dimensional grids.
Incubating since: 19 May 2008 Mailing lists, subversion repository, and JIRA setup was completed. Software Grant Agreement (Initial code owners are chanwit and me) was sended for the intial donation of Hama code from the google project. ICLAs were sent, But We are still waiting for the arrival of CCLAs.
