## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, moderate Issues for the board: Limited UI experts for UI support. Due to role of product and lack of experts in UI, we are thinking of deprecating UI support. ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Jiajun Wang on 2022-11-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Molly Gao on 2023-06-06. ## Project Activity: - 1.3.1 was released on 2023-09-28 - 1.3.0 was released on 2023-07-25 - 1.2.0 was released on 2023-05-02 - 1.1.0 was released on 2023-01-04. - 1.0.4 was released on 2022-06-09. ## Community Health: Overall activities: - 82 commits in the past quarter.(12% increase) - 14 code contributors in the past quarter (16% increase) - Closed all issues which have not updated from 2022 as they are either non-critical or even logic outdated. Would like to share some update for following topics: 1. Release Current release is onholding for completion of the feature. The feature was supporting operations in Helix like draining partitions, 1-1 instance swaps. We would like to give user an unified experience in API instead of breaking things in the middle. Some changes will be completed in this quarter and move forward for releasing. 2. UI issues We do encounter an problem mentioned in issue section. We had limited contributors in UI. And ALL CVE issues are coming from UI. It is hard for us to maintain the UI. In addition, UI is just a nice to have product. We are thinking to deprecate the support. 3. Next gen of shard management Existing Helix is heavy and complicated. It is not user friendly to most of lightweight use cases. We are in planning of proposing some lightweight version in Helix and making sure it converging with Helix with leverage. 4. Other continuous improvments - Fixing unstable tests - Adding container world support features and so on.
## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, moderate Issues for the board: no major issue. ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Jiajun Wang on 2022-11-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Molly Gao on 2023-06-06. ## Project Activity: - 1.3.1 was released on 2023-09-28 - 1.3.0 was released on 2023-07-25 ## Community Health: Recently, Helix finished two projects: 1. Instance evacuate support: gracefully bootstrap data to new instances and remove the partition from the old one. 2. Swap instance support: smoothly bootstrapping all replicas to new instance and deprecate the old instance, which is transparent to user. Additionally, there are several ongoing discussion about Helix logging in Helix slack channel. For next quarter, continuously improvement on evacuate need to be done: 1. Standardize the operation states including evacuate, disable and etc. 2. Transactionally get evacuated partition assignment align with eventual assignment to avoid multi round shuffling. A new release of 1.4.0 will come soon.

Ondemand partition rebalance - completed 2. Node evacuation partition from a target node - completed 3. Node 1:1 partition swapping - in progress Next target for the coming quarter: The Helix REST have management API for users to do fleet management, including health check, customized check, parallel instance pre stop, etc. But now the REST has performance issue with fanout querying Zookeeper. It can lead regular shard management to slow reading ZK data. Concrete target: 1. Improve Helix REST service with caching + ZK notification 2. Improve management APIs usability including cross fault zone parallel pre instance stop, more flexible customized check. 3. Node auto populate toplogical information.

The motivation to support this project is to let Helix can use any customized underneath storage with certain APIs implementation due to Zookeeper performance limitation. Related data: 182 commits in the past quarter (59% increase) 16 code contributors in the past quarter (33% increase) At the same time, we are actively fixing unstable tests with closing CI triggered tickets creation. Related data: 76 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (181% increase) dev@helix.apache.org had a 25% increase in traffic in the past quarter The next focus is the operation optimization asked from Apache helix slack channel including: 1. Node smooth evacuating partitions. 2. 1 to 1 partition movements from old node to new node. All these two operations respect the N -> N + 1 -> N replicas rule.
## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, moderate Issues for the board: no major issue As the board is interested in more details, here is what Helix targeted recently: Helix is the framework focusing on managing large data systems. When the data onboards cloud, more container maintenance/deployment can lead Helix to believe instances lost. Active moving around partition data is not a proper solution. Helix now is trying to build a smart solution to guarantee data movement smooth ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

Stabilize the integration test. So we saw see the CI failure rate going down 212 commits in the past quarter (216% increase) 14 code contributors in the past quarter (40% increase) 2. More discussion from users actually in Helix slack. We got several questions from some company teams such as Uber, Pinterest. 3. Cloud support development. As mentioned above, Helix is trying to develop a smart partition movement. Helix will bootstrap a new replica to a new assigned instance. Once it bootstrapped, Helix started dropping the old one. This require a lot of effort since we need to handle different edge cases and rearchitect parts of Helix. Related to this, we have several items: 1) fix N replica -> N + 1 issue 2) support one stop operation to evacuate host and 3) support better deployment delay on partition movement.

Shepherd notes:
Suresh Marru: The podling is healthy and I echo it seems ready to graduate.
They have cut few releases, are engaging well with contributors and voted in
two new committers. Its a small group with activity on the low end but the
diversity is decent enough and podling seems to be ready for
self-governance. If the project decides to graduate, it might be advisable
for one or two mentors continue through for a little while.
Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used to build distributed systems and provides automatic partition management, fault tolerance and elasticity. Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Add new committers. 2. Grow community. 3. Better documentation to increase adoption. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? - None How has the community developed since the last report? There has been significant increase in the activity since last report resulting in good discussions on the mailing list. How has the project developed since the last report? We had our first Apache Incubator release in January and we are in the process of making another release shortly. Lots of new features and bug fixes added. - Issues +58 issues created, 35 resolved. - Additional features to be part of 0.6.2-incubating release -- Standalone Helix agent -- Task execution recipe -- Task scheduling and support for custom re-balancer. - S4 integration with Helix in progress. Please check this [X] when you have filled in the report for Helix.

Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Make a release, taking longer than expected. Lack of Apache process
experience in making releases apart from mentors.
2. Develop user community and increase adoption.
3. Come up with tutorial/use cases where Helix can be used out of
the box.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
None
How has the community developed since the last report?
- users +2
- little activity on user mailing list. Hopefully release should help.
- Current integration
-- S4.
-- In talks with Archiva, Bigtop on potential integration.
