This was extracted (@ 2024-11-19 16:10) 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.
WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).
Nemo is a data processing system to flexibly control the runtime behaviors
of a job to adapt to varying deployment characteristics.
Nemo has been incubating since 2018-02-04.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Motivate growth in the community
2. Address remaining items before graduation
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
The issue raised in our previous podling report (Mar. 2024) still exists.
This is a project initiated from academia, and many of the committers have
graduated with their degree and moved on to something else. The project
itself is very promising, known that many outstanding academic papers have
been developed on top of Apache Nemo [1-5], so it would be ideal if it
finds its purpose, however it seems quite challenging at this particular
moment. It is quite disappointing to see the project lose its momentum
during the covid-19 pandemics, which made it extremely challenging for us
to build the community. Nevertheless, the project itself, I believe,
deserved to be in the TLP, but it seems like if there is no breakpoint for
the project regarding the project community, I think we could start
discussing about sending it to the attic. Any suggestions or opinions are
welcome!

2. Address remaining items before graduation
### Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?
This is a project initiated from academia, and the major problem here is
that many of us have graduated and moved on to something else now. Although
the project itself is very promising and is a well-developed system (proved
by a number of academic papers), the project is losing a bit of its
momentum, and there isn't a clear breakpoint where this can get itself back
on track in building its community and users. This project, I personally
think, is an unlucky one in the sense that Covid-19 hit at the time when it
was actively being promoted in ASF conferences and so, trying to build its
user base, and hasn't been able to climb up to TLP since then. I think that
there are enough resources for users to pick up on where it stands at the
moment, but it is unclear on how it should get back on track, where the
lack of community action being the major problem on its way to TLP. Any
suggestions or help would be nice, but we may also consider archiving the
project as well at this point.

### How has the community developed since the last report?
* Attracted new contributors through the GSoC program
* Two GSoC students finished up their projects successfully.
* Presented Nemo at Berlin Beam Summit 2019.
* Discussion with Google Beam, Shopify, Seznam,cz developers
At the Beam Summit Europe 2019, which occurred in Berlin from
June 19th to the 20th, there had been many discussions regarding
Nemo from engineers working in the industry, as well as
with engineers working with Apache Beam. There had been people
from various companies, as Shopify and Seznam.cz, facing problems
as large-shuffle and data skew, and had shown a lot of interest
in using the Apache Nemo runner. Also, in the following ApacheCon
summit happening in Vegas in September, the Apache Beam team will
demonstrate running their workloads using the Apache Nemo runner.
### How has the project developed since the last report?
* Integrate Apache Crail with Nemo
* Off-heap support to improve shuffle speed
* DirectByteBufferInput/OutputStream for
Off-heap SerializedMemoryStore
* Off-heap SerializedMemoryStore
* Off-heap memory management (reuse ByteBuffer)
* Separation of JVM heap region and off-heap memory region
* Enable Nemo single-stage programs to run on a serverless
framework, AWS Lambda
* Refactor Executor to support different types of execution
environment
* Add a Lambda Executor
* Add a compiler pass for Lambda
* Progress on a ML-based smart compiler

I don't think that is correct and it is not the same as the guidance
given to other podlings like Heron.
