Kvrocks

18 Dec 2024 [Mingyang Liu / Sander]

Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.

18 Sep 2024 [Mingyang Liu / Rich]

## Description:
The mission of Apache Kvrocks is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a distributed on-disk NoSQL database, including the compatibility
to Redis, and support of a rich range of Redis data structures and commands.

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing
Issues for the board: None

## Membership Data:
Apache Kvrocks was founded 2023-06-21 (a year ago)
There are currently 25 committers and 12 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Xuwei Fu on 2024-03-22.
- Beihao Zhou was added as committer on 2024-09-07

## Project Activity:
In the past quarter, the PMC has released Apache Kvrocks version 2.9.0 on Jul
9th, and also Apache Kvrocks Controller version 1.0.0 on Jul 14th.

Recently, the community is working on the development of Kvrocks Search (which
supports both SQL and RediSearch query syntax), and its basic functions are
already available in the unstable branch. In addition, community members are
adding vector search capabilities to Kvrocks Search, which is based on the HNSW
indexing algorithm. Also, the stream group feature has been fully supported and
will be shipped in the next release. And the OSPP project for
enhancing transaction capabilities is also underway.


## Community Health:

The issues/PRs have decreased (-25% / -26%) in the past quarter, mostly since
some heavy initial Kvrocks Search tasks have been finished in the last quarter.
I believe the community is steady and healthy.

We believe that with the gradual release of Kvrocks Search and
the vector search capabilities, Apache Kvrocks will be able to attract
more users through more expressive queries and as the first
open source RediSearch on-disk alternative.

## Membership Data:

There are currently 24 committers and 12 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Pengbo Cai was added to the PMC on 2024-03-18
- Xuwei Fu was added to the PMC on 2024-03-22
- No new committers. Last addition was Ji Huayu on 2024-01-23.

## Project Activity:

Apache Kvrocks has released 2.8.0 in the past quarter. The community is
planning the next release, as well as the first release of its subproject:
kvrocks-controller.

For the Kvrocks part, the notable feature is that Kvrocks now supports
RedisSearch basic commands, the most popular module in the Redis stack. I
believe this feature will make a lot of users happy. Apart from new features,
we're active in resolving bugs and security issues found by the community. And
for its sub-project: kvrocks-controller, we're mainly focused on refactoring
to make it production-ready, and it's ready now.

The community also actively participates in GSoC and OSPP(Open Source
Promotion Plan) to attract more contributors.

## Community Health:

The issues/PRs have decreased (-26% / -8%) in the past quarter because we're
focused on developing the RedisJSON module which involves many new commands
and contributors. I believe the community is steady and healthy.

And from the user side, we're proud to know that the open-source
project: CVAT has adapted Apache Kvrocks to replace Redis. Also, the famous
development tool: wakatime uses Apache Kvrocks as its cache.

Besides, Kvrocks got much more attention as an alternative replacement for
Redis.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Ji Huayu was added as committer on 2024-01-23

## Project Activity:
Apache Kvrocks just completed the release process for 2.8.0, it supports many
new Redis commands, as well as the notable feature of the RESP3 protocol which
makes significant progress to make Kvrocks compatible with the Redis protocol.

In addition, the community is working on the RedisSearch module, and we look
forward to seeing RedisSearch in the future release.


## Community Health:

Overall community health is good. We have got 6 new contributors now, and the
development traffic(Pull Requests +7%) is slightly increasing compared to the
last quarter. The community also actively participates in GSoC and OSPP to
involve more contributors in the Kvrocks community.


Below is our full metrics:

- dev@kvrocks.apache.org had a 19% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (26
 emails compared to 32)
- 53 commits in the past quarter (-25% change)
- 13 code contributors in the past quarter (44% increase)

## Project Status:
Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: none

## Membership Data:

committers and 10 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 Alfejik Liu on 2023-06-21.
- Shixi Yang was added as committer on 2023-12-06

## Project Activity:

The last release of Apache Kvrocks 2.6.0 was on 2023-09-26, and the 2.7.0
release vote is planned to be sent in the middle of December. During the last
quarter, we mainly focused on implementing the new data structure JSON and now
is close to done. In addition, some of the user-heavy-request features like
the namespace replication will also be introduced in 2.7.0, guess they will
make many users happy since then.

At the same time, the community also donated kvrocks-controller as a
subproject of Kvrocks, which will make the cluster mode easier to use and
maintain.

## Community Health:

Overall community health is good. The total number of contributors is more
than 100 now, it's a small milestone for the community.

The development traffic decreased greatly(-43%) in the last quarter. The main
reason is we have many bug fixes in release 2.6.0, which held up the count of
contributions and contributors. The number of bug reports has been back to
normal since then, so I think it's fine.

 smooth

At this time, we're focusing on the development of the new data structure:
BloomFilter and JSON.

## Community Health:

The overall is healthy and good, more and more committers are active to help
review and drive PRs. We're now putting our efforts into attracting more users
and contributors by enriching the economy of Kvrocks, like supporting the

building projects like kvrocks-operator and kvrocks-controller to help users
manage Kvrocks deployments.
