Hunter

This was extracted (@ 2025-10-25 13:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Hunter performs statistical analysis of performance test results
and finds change-points and notifies about possible performance
regressions. A typical use-case of hunter is as follows:
* A set of performance tests is scheduled repeatedly.
* The resulting metrics of the test runs are stored in a time
series database (e.g, Graphite) or appended to CSV files.
* Hunter is launched by a Jenkins/Cron job (or an operator) to
analyze the recorded metrics regularly.
* Hunter notifies about significant changes in recorded metrics
by outputting text reports or sending Slack notifications.

Hunter has been incubating since 2024-11-27.

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

 1. Finish project setup:
  a. Rename - PODLINGNAMESEARCH-230.
  b. Add Apache License headers https://github.com/apache/hunter/issues/31.
 2. Create a project website.
 3. Publish the first release under the new name.

### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

 The original project name has been rejected in

[PODLINGNAMESEARCH-228](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEA
 RCH-228)
 and the proposal for the new name

[PODLINGNAMESEARCH-230](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEA
 RCH-230)
 has been blocked on review for a couple of weeks.

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

 We have the first engagements in GH issues. We do not have any new
 contributors,
 but also we haven’t been promoting the project because we do not have the
 new approved name to promote.

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

 Since the incubation started, there have been several notable
developments:
 1. The project has migrated from datastax-labs/hunter to apache/hunter
 repository ([HUNTER-1](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUNTER-1)).
 2. Nyrkiö upstreamed all changes from their private fork -
 https://github.com/apache/hunter/pull/27.
 3. A complete overhaul of documentation has been done to lower the entry
 barrier - https://github.com/apache/hunter/pull/28.

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

 We are finishing the initial setup.
