## Project Activity:
- No recent releases, 2.16.0 (latest stable) was released on 2022-11-17.
- MVCC code removal is quite active now, most likely it will be completed
 before 2.17.0.
- Maintainers are still fixing a number of Apache Calcite integration issues
 (a few more were found). This will allow us to discontinue H2 and overcome
  H2-related security concerns.
- Community has not yet decided to end JDK 8 support

## Community Health:
- Metrics are unavailable right now in the reporter. But it looks like
 dev list traffic has decreased. There are a number of technical discussions
 and most of them related to Ignite-3.
- Project attracts new contributors: new contributors are coming and asking
 for permissions in JIRA and asking for assigning a contributor role.
- Some of newcomers complete PRs and some of PRs pass review. So in the future
 it is likely for newcomers to be elected as committers.
- GridGain started preparing Ignite Summit. This event potentially can attract
 new contributors among Ignite users.

- Sergey Stronchinskiy was added as a committer on 2020-10-14


## Project Activity:
- Major release 2.9.0 was completed on October
 (https://blogs.apache.org/ignite/entry/apache-ignite-2-9-released)
- Minor release 2.9.1 and next major release 2.10.0 are under discussion
- Community members decided to introduce Apache Ignite as a database (no
 trademark changes are expected, but the project description needs an
 update). During entering to the Incubator Ignite was In-memory data grid
- Community members discuss approaches on how to develop 3.0.0. There are two
 options - separate repository with development of some modules from scratch
 preserving only behavior. The alternative is to develop in evolutionary mode
 using the existing code base changing it several times.

## Community Health:
- dev@ mailing list and amount of GitHub-related notifications are almost the
 same.
- user@ mailing list and amount of PRs/JIRA tickets has a slight decrease
 -10...-40%
- Community members continue to write posts and run online talks at online
 meetups

## Description:
- Apache Ignite is an in-memory computing platform that is strongly consistent
and highly available with powerful SQL, key-value, and processing APIs.

## Comments

The section includes commentaries on questions raised by board members during
at the previous board meeting.

Q1: it would be good to include a note about the ignite.run data collection
issue and it's resolution in the official board report.

The issue was solved. The ignite.run domain was transferred to ASF and shut
down. All the statistics collected before was purged. Presently, an Ignite
node process connects to this page [1] deployed on ASF to find out the latest
Ignite version and notify a user about its availability. No user data is
collected at all.

Q2: Ignite has historically been very tightly aligned with a single vendor.
How are efforts going forward to add more diversity?

The community is becoming more and more diversified. Specifically, we see many
contributors coming from the financial sector (banks, etc.) who widely use
Ignite in production and want to take part in its development. Next, the
community is about to accept a big contribution by NetMillennium, Inc [2].
Finally, Ignite members take part in a myriad of events (meetups, conferences,
webinars) to expand awareness of the project and get more contributors. At
all, I wouldn’t say that presently the project is somehow tightly aligned with
a single vendor.

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
- Apache Ignite 2.2 and 2.3 were released since the time of the previous
report.
- Filed a trademark request for Apache Ignite. The request has been awaiting
the examination.
- More than 30 talks were conducted by community members and Ignite users at
various meetups, conferences, and webinars.

## Health report:
- The popularity of Ignite continues to grow. We see it in an increased number
of users, contributors, discussions, releases.

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:

- Apache Ignite community incubated and accepted the donation of Ignite Native
 Persistence from GridGain.

- Apache Ignite 2.1 was released on Thu Jul 27 2017  The release integrated the Durable
 Memory architecture with Ignite Native Persistence allowing to store and process data
 and indexes both in memory and on disk cluster-wide. Such a memory architecture helps
 to achieve in-memory performance with durability of disk using all the available
 resources of the cluster.

- Apache Ignite site’s front page has been reworked and improved to meet the recent
 changes happened to the project: https://ignite.apache.org/index.html

@Jim: follow up to document the resolution of ignite.run issue next board report

17 May 2017 [Denis Magda / Chris]

## Description:

The Apache Ignite (TM) In-Memory Data Fabric is a high-performance, integrated
and distributed in-memory platform for computing and transacting on
large-scale data sets in real-time, orders of magnitude faster than possible
with traditional disk-based or flash technologies.

Apache Ignite (TM) provides many in-memory components to improve performance and
scalability of user applications, including in-memory data grid, in-memory sql
grid, in-memory compute grid, in-memory streaming, and more.


## Issues:

 There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.


## Activity:

 - Since the latest board report Apache Ignite community released versions 1.9
 and 2.0. Both versions gave significant shift to the overall project direction
 making it usable for a variety of new use cases thanks to SQL Grid, Machine
 Learning library and reengineered memory architecture. Read more on this there:
    * Apache Ignite 2.0:
      https://blogs.apache.org/ignite/entry/apache-ignite-2-0-redesigned Apache
    * Ignite 1.9:
      https://blogs.apache.org/ignite/entry/apache-ignite-1-9-released

- Apache Ignite is thinking of accepting a huge donation from GridGain which is
one of the project’s contributors. The donation is a distributed transactional
and fault-tolerant disk store that seamlessly integrates with Apache Ignite
memory architecture and can be enabled by a couple of configuration parameters.
If the donation is accepted, Apache Ignite can be used as memory-first SQL
database with its own distributed disk memory layer.

- The community keeps blogging actively about Ignite
(https://ignite.apache.org/blogs.html) and takes part at conferences and other
events (https://ignite.apache.org/news.html).


## Health report:

The mailing statistics, project evolvement, releases delivery and overall

## Activity:
 - The community has released 1.5.0 final version.
   The release includes C++ and .NET/C# support, deadlock-free transactions,
   compact binary marshalling protocol, OSGI support, integration with MQTT,
   Flume, Camel, and Twitter streams, and many other features.

 - The community is working towards version 1.6.0, which will include
   ODBC support, and non-collocated SQL joins, as well as significant
   performance improvements.

 - Based on user requests, and given that one of the main features of Ignite
   is performance, the community desided to start publishing transparent
   reproducable performance comparisons to other products, beginning with
   Hazelcast. The Hazelcast team questioned the validity of the test, and
   Ignite community worked with Hazelcast on reproducing it. Ignite community
   is planning to publish performance comparisons with other open source
   projects, including Apache Cassandra, Infinispan, and Redis. The
   comparisons will be published on the Ignite website with code and detailed
   steps to reproduce the numbers on Amazon AWS.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

 Branko Čibej (brane):

   The Ignite community has progressed very nicely in recent months.
   The dev@ list has become the main communication channel, new contributors
   are arriving and many have been invited to the PPMC. Apart from a few
   minor teething problems, the latest release has gone smoothly.
   I'm hoping that we'll be able to report successful graduation by the
   time the next board report is due.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

 Alan Cabrera (adc):

   This podling is off to a great start.  Mentors are extremely active
   participants with most of the non-Jira chatter being between Dmitriy
   Setrakyan and the mentors; look to the Jira issue to see the rest of the
   community "getting it done".  The "issues to be addressed" section seems
   reasonable.

 Branko Čibej (brane):

   I agree with Alan's assessment, but I'd really like to see more
   activity on the dev@ list; especially more of the initial committers
   getting involved in discussions there. Whilst Jira notifications are
   nice, I have a nagging feeling that most of the discussions within
   the community are happening off-line, which leaves a rather large
   hole in the community's collective memory (i.e., mail archives).
   This will have to be addressed before graduation.
