Discussion is going on to release 5.1.3 in a few days. We released python-phoenixdb 1.2.1 on 2022-10-25 with some fixes in the release and build scripts as well as an SPNEGO compatibility fix. We also released Phoenix Omid 1.1.0 on 2022-10-17 with changes to drop support for HBase 1.x, Kerberos fixes, dependency version updates etc. Completed Phoenix High Availability Feature which enables it to connect to a pair of HBase clusters to support disaster recovery. Discussion is going on to support a pluggable query logger and work is in progress for Phoenix Metadata caching improvements. Added support for Spark 3 in the Spark connector and significant improvements in Transform Tool. ## Community Health: Phoenix community continues to remain active, though sometimes most of the contributions and discussions come from a few individuals. The reporting tool complained about a -24% decline of dev traffic but the traffic of dev@(12%), commit@(18%) increased and user@, issues@ are almost the same compared with last quarter. We had a significant increase in closed PRs(52%). 19 code contributors (5% increase) added.

No new committers. Last addition was Tanuj Khurana on 2021-12-08. ## Project Activity: Apache Phoenix had its last main release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07, We are planning to to release the next major release 5.2.0 soon after HBase 2.5 is released. We also released python-phoenixdb 1.2.0 on 2022-07-15 with some improvements and compatibility with the current python protobuf libraries. Active Development is going on Phoenix High Availability Feature which enables it to connect to a pair of HBase clusters supports disaster recovery. Development to migrate log4j to log4j2 is completed. Work to remove the Ttephra transactional system from Phoenix is going on as Tephra has old dependencies having high score CVEs and Apache attic libraries like Twill as there is no interest from the community to contribute to Tephra. Completed development of dropping support for HBase versions 2.1 and 2.2 from Apache Phoenix as they were already EOL'ed a long time back. ## Community Health: Phoenix community continues to remain active, though sometimes most of the contributions and discussions come from a few individuals. The reporting tool complaining about -24% decline of dev traffic but the traffic of user@, dev@ and @issues is slightly higher compare with last quarter as good amount discussion/reviews on the priority JIRAs/PRs related to new feature development of Phoenix High Availability, cleanup the EOL'ed HBase versions like 2.1,2,2 and 1.x and test case failures etc. We had a -61% decline in commit@ and closed PRs(-21%) in issues@phoenix.apache.org as the work is going on priority JIRAs/PRs.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Viraj Jasani on 2021-06-16. - No new committers. Last addition was Tanuj Khurana on 2021-12-07. ## Project Activity: Apache Phoenix had its last main release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07, And we recently discussed cutting out another major release 5.2.0 soon. We dropped the support of HBase versions 2.1 and 2.2 from Apache Phoenix as they were already EOL'ed a long time back and also did not support our new implementation of global indexes, which are fully consistent. We also released phoenix-thirdparty 2.0.0 on 2022-04-19 to update the Guava and common-cli versions. We discussed removing HBase 1.x support from Apache Phoenix and Omid in subsequent releases. It will avoid backporting the fixes in multiple branches and maintaining shim layers. We recently discussed switching Phoenix on log4j2 from EOL'ed log4j1 and also to get compatible with Hbase 2.5, which supports log4j2 only. ## Community Health: Phoenix community continues to remain active, though sometimes most of the contributions and discussions come from a few individuals. There is a decline in traffic on user@ by 12%. Some of the discussions on the user@ list could get offset by the new users who are not aware of the mailing list and approaching other community sites supported by Vendors or other question/answer websites. We had a -24% decline in dev@ and -42% in issues@phoenix.apache.org due to less discussion/reviews on the JIRAs/PRs owing to more minor fixes than significant feature development in the last quarter. We did more commits(+53%) and closed more PRs(+5%) with 8% increase in code contributors.

Last addition was Viraj Jasani on 2021-06-16. - Tanuj Khurana was added as committer on 2021-12-07 ## Project Activity: Apache Phoenix had its last release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07, And we are dedicatedly making progress for our next releases 5.1.3 and 4.16.2 None of our released artifacts were affected by the recent severe log4j2 vulnerability(CVE-2021-44228) as we were using log4j1 in all our repositories except one where we had log4j2 as test dependency for phoenix-hive connector but it has also been taken care of. However, this reminded us that there are still a few critical vulnerabilities with our current log4j1 and we are in process of replacing it with "reload4j" to fix a few of the urgent CVEs. Though the long term plan is to eventually move on to the latest version We will be releasing Phoenix-thirdparty soon to bump the commons-cli and Guava version We reached the consensus of dropping the support of Apache Tephra(a podling adopted 2 years ago ) from Phoenix due to a lack of interest from the community to maintain it. We are seeing interest and receiving code contributions to support spark3 for Phoenix-connector. ## Community Health: The community activities had been declining for the last 3 quarters after our major release 5.1.0, as more efforts are spent on stabilizing the releases, rather than taking up major features. Traffic on dev and user list continues to decline from the last few quarters by 24% and 12% respectively, and the same trend is seen for code commits and new JIRAs. though on a positive note we closed more JIRAs then we opened this quarter and we have a steady rate of code contributors
## Description: The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to High-performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency applications ## Issues: No issues to rt to the board at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (7 years ago) There are currently 55 committers and 35 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Viraj Jasani on 2021-06-16. - No new committers. Last addition was Jacob Isaac on 2021-05-28. ## Project Activity: * Apache Phoenix had its last release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07, And we are in process of preparing release candidates for 5.1.3 and 4.16.2 which will have fixes for around 45+ issues. * We have released the Python PhoenixDb-1.1.0 on 2021-08-27, which introduces new APIs to access metadata for primary key and indices and improve our ORM support. * HBase 1.3 support has been dropped from Phoenix as this version was already EOL'ed by the HBase community on 2020-08-23. This will also help us in reducing our efforts in maintaining its compatibility module for every change. * Phoenix Tech Talk event held on 2021-10-07 detailing the process on how to change data format online without service disruption. ## Community Health: The community activities had declined in the last 2 quarters after the major release of 5.1.0, as we continue to focus on stabilization with maintenance releases rather than taking up the mega features. Traffic on dev list is reduced by 54% ,the number of Commits had declined by 36% and PRs by 14% as compared to last quarter, we closed only 47(40% less) JIRAs with 14 code contributors (56% less). Though, we see a slight increase(5%) in traffic on the user list. We also recognize that there is no PMC and committer added in the last 5 months. Hence, we will take this as an action item and evaluate the new contributors more frequently.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Istvan Toth on 2020-07-06. - Daniel Wong was added as committer on 2021-01-08 - Richárd Antal was added as committer on 2020-12-24 - Viraj Jasani was added as committer on 2021-02-05 ## Project Activity: Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20. And, now the RCs of our mainstream branches 4.16.0 and 5.1.0 is up for the voting. Which will support Apache HBase versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. we released phoenix-thirdpary-1.1.0 on 2021-02-01 and, also made the first release of Apache Omid 1.0.2 on 2020-11-23 and Apache Tephra 0.16.0 on 2020-12-03 after their adoption in Phoenix. We are discussing having Phoenix Tech talks/meetup every month to share knowledge and discuss new ideas within the community for improvement and growth. Discussion on dropping the support of EOLs Apache HBase versions (1.3, 1.4, 2.1) in the next release, to reduce efforts on maintenance of multiple compatibility modules and save build/infrastructure time as well. Due to the lack of community support on nurturing Phoenix connectors for PIG and Flume and without exhaustive testing before release, we are considering marking them as unmaintained in the upcoming phoenix release. ## Community Health: Phoenix community continues to remain engaged with multiple releases and code contributions. We had closed more PRs/JIRAs than we opened, our commit activity had also improved, and there were 44% more code contributors than the previous quarter. Our interactions on the user list steadily declining QoQ, though we saw substantial growth in the traffic on issues(+100%) and dev list(+23%) in the last quarter.
## Description: The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency applications ## Issues: No issues to report to the board at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (6 years ago) There are currently 51 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Istvan Toth on 2020-07-06. - No new committers. Last addition was Gokcen Iskender on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20. And, we were able to resolve maximum blockers for our next 4.16.0 and 5.1.0 releases but there are still some dependencies on the release of other projects. We are actively working towards it and expecting an RC soon. Thanks to RMs of these branches who are diligently tracking the progress. We had our very first major release of PhoenixDB 1.0.0 on 2020-09-18. It's our native Python driver for accessing Phoenix via query server. Phoenix-thirdparty 1.0.0 was released on 2020-10-26 to encapsulate Guava library in Phoenix. It was done to avoid conflict with the incompatible versions present in different Hadoop runtime for Phoenix. We are also working towards the first time release of Omid and Tephra after the adoption of these projects under the Apache Phoenix PMC. Build jobs were migrated on new Cloudbees infra and started using Yetus to validate new contributions. we appreciate the committers who worked on it. ## Community Health: We observe a steady flow of issues being created and resolved, and interactions continue to be active on mailing lists and PRs. The trend of traffic on the user list continue to decline QoQ from the last few years, though more activity is observed on our dev list this quarter. Even though the number of active contributors has declined by 23%, we were able to resolve 7% more issues from last quarter and our average resolution time has also improved by 32%. PMC has not received any nomination in the last quarter for the new committers or PMCs, however, we should take this as an action item again and evaluate contributors more frequently.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - Istvan Toth was added to the PMC on 2020-07-06 - No new committers. Last addition was Gokcen Iskender on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: * Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20. And, since then we have been actively working towards for our next 4.16.0 and 5.1.0 release. Current work is to bring some fixes in parity between both the release lines. * We are also figuring out a plan to do the release of adopted Apache projects(Omid, Tephra) and started preparing for the first release of our derived repos phoenix-connectors and phoenix-queryserver. * Phoenix PMC took over the ownership of pypi account of PhoenixDb and started preparing a release of our python-based phoenix driver for the first time after adopting PhoenixDb through code donation. * We had a discussion to make our binary release of 4.x branches on Java8 but had to defer it again, due to the dependency on HBase runtime which can still run on JDK 1.7. * To avoid conflict with guava version in a user runtime, a new repository phoenix-thirdparty was created to keep the shaded version of guava so that all downstream phoenix modules and public APIs can refer it consistently. * We also appreciate the committers who identified and fixed the time-consuming tests to improve our overall build efficiency so that new fixes can be verified faster and reduces some friction for the new contributors. ## Community Health: Phoenix continues to be an active and growing community. With new contributors and active committers, there is always a continuous flow of reviews and commits happening. We have not added any new committers in the last half year though as PMCs , we did evaluate few contributors but noone stand out at that time, but we will take this action item again and be more frequent in evaluating and nominating new contributors. There is a slight drop(-15%) of traffic on our dev mailing list from last quarter, though the traffic on user mailing list and number of active contributors are holding steady. We have seen an improvement in resolution time of issues in this quarter by 25% and our created-to-resolved ratio is still 4:3. I may be missing some statistics as community health metrics is not available(or not complete as it used to be) on the reporter tool so had to extract few of these manually.
## Description: The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency applications ## Issues: No issues to report to the board at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (6 years ago) There are currently 51 committers and 32 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - Ankit Singhal was appointed as a new PMC chair on 2020-04-15. - Kadir Ozdemir was added to the PMC on 2020-02-25 - No new committers. Last addition was Gokcen Iskender on 2020-02-07. ## Project Activity: - We had our last release of Phoenix 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20. Now, we have a RM for our next 4.16.0 release and there is also an active development going on our another parallel release line for 5.1.0 release. - All our connectors which are required by third party libraries to access Phoenix data are moved to a separate repo so that they can evolve with newer versions of these libraries and can be released independently. - I'm also happy to report that some committers had also taken up work to improve our build system, have put extra efforts in simplifying the code and consolidating branches to reduce friction for the new contributors. - we are also working towards bringing our python connector in parity with other connectors to accommodate non-java users who are more comfortable in writing applications in Python. ## Community Health: We have not added any new committers in the last quarter though as PMCs, we have taken this as an action item to continuously work towards evaluating and nominating new contributors. There is a consistent drop on our user mailing list year over year and this quarter we also observe a slight drop on our dev list . However, our number of active contributors have increased and issues created-to-resolved ratio has improved to 4:3.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Chinmay Kulkarni on 2019-09-09. - Andreas Neumann was added as committer on 2019-12-03 - Terence Yim was added as committer on 2019-12-03 - Gokcen Iskender was added as committer on 2020-02-07 - Gokul Gunasekaran was added as committer on 2019-12-03 - Istvan Toth was added as committer on 2019-12-02 - Xinyi Yan was added as committer on 2019-12-26 - Yoni Gottesman was added as committer on 2019-12-03 ## Project Activity: Following up from the previous report, I'm happy to report that both the former podlings Omid and Tephra have been successfully "adopted" under the Apache Phoenix PMC. The PMC voted to grant committership to all PPMC who desired it, transitioned all infrastructure (e.g. Jira projects, Git repositories) under the Phoenix role, and did some basic updates to our public facing user-documentation to make sure our users can be aware of how these (now) sub-projects will continue to exist at the ASF. I'm also happy to report that Phoenix 4.15.0 was released in December. As is normal, we are also approaching a 4.15.1 bug-fix release in that release line. Activity on the 4.x release line continues at the usual cadence thanks to the dedicated work of the committers. On the 5.x release line, we were largely blocked because upstream Apache HBase changes caused us some API and runtime compatibility issues. Thankfully, after some more discussion on the matter, we got traction by a developer to chase down the problem and implement a solution. At this point, we are largely unblocked to work towards a long-overdue 5.1.0 release. ## Community Health: We've added 7 new committers since our last report which is fantastic. We have not, however, added any new committers. We should take this as an action item as a project. I find the mailing list traffic largely status quo; user lists have a drop year-over-year but the dev and issues list have an increase of a similar percentage magnitude year-over-year. In general, I observe a steady stream of user questions and developers created and resolving Jira issues.
## Description: The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency applications ## Issues: No issues for the board at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (5 years ago) There are currently 44 committers and 31 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - Chinmay Kulkarni was added to the PMC on 2019-09-09 - No new committers. Last addition was Kadir Ozdemir on 2019-05-30. ## Project Activity: Business as usual for the community overall. We continue to have active development on the 4.x and 5.x release lines. There was an rc0 for a 4.15.0 release which is the next-up release to be had. The 5.x line still needs an owner to step up and drive a release cadence. There was a suggestion that the Omid and Tephra podlings graduate into sub-projects of the Apache Phoenix PMC. This suggestion was made as both Omid and Tephra have integration into Phoenix and provide some direct, end-user value. Both podlings were struggling to retain active podling memberships. The Phoenix community voted in favor of this graduation for both podlings, and all podling members who request it will be made Apache Phoenix committers. At this point, the 72hr lazy-consensus/notice on general@incubator to perform this double-podling subproject graduation has passed. VP-Phoenix and podling mentors need to sync and make a plan to start combining these resources. ## Community Health: Developer (dev/issues) mailing list traffic is down slightly, but user mailing list traffic is actually up over the past quarter. We continue to see an up-tick in the use of Github pull requests over patches on Jira (which may be related to the change in dev/issues traffic volume). As a project, continuing to ensure that Github-based code contributions are being integrated is ever more important. In general, we continue to see the same developers participating, with a reasonable number of new contributors to keep the committer pipeline active.
## Description: The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency applications ## Issues: No issues at this time! ## Membership Data: Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (5 years ago) There are currently 44 committers and 30 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Chenglei on 2019-04-09. + New PMC member(s) under vote presently. - Kadir Ozdemir was added as committer on 2019-05-30 ## Project Activity: The community continues to have two active release lines: 4.x and 5.x. Since the last report, 4.14.2 was released and a 4.14.3 has its second release candidate out for a vote now. The 5.x release line has slowed since the initial 5.0.0 release. There was interest expressed in both 5.0 and 5.1 releases happening, but there is still significant progress required to get to a first release candidate for either. One impediment around the 4.x and 5.x release lines was ensuring that code changes make it to all relevant release branches. This continues to be an operational challenge for Phoenix as supporting a wide breadth of compatibility for Apache Hadoop and Apache HBase versions is challenging. This challenge is constantly being worked. For example, one community member took the time to re-vamp our automated testing on the ASF Jenkins which now shows largely passing test results, whereas the test results were essentially noise (no meaningful data could be parsed from the job output). On top of release stabilization, we can also be proud of a new significant feature (PHOENIX-5156 on ASF Jira) which took roughly 6 months to design, iterate, and commit. This is the hallmark of continuing innovation in Phoenix, rearchitecting one of the major enticing features of Phoenix to be more stable for our users. ## Community Health: Phoenix continues to be an active community with a strong core committership. Mailing list traffic, Jira issue activity, and commits are up (at least double-digit percents) over the last quarter. We did have a rather negative thread[1] on our user list since the last report in which a number of users expressed dissatisfaction with Phoenix. It is frustrating to have individuals come to your project's list, ultimately soliciting "what should I use instead?". Perhaps this is a good reminder to take a step back and make sure we are doing enough as a community to help make those who are not committers successful. However, as with all internet-based communities, I'm sure there are some hyper-critical individuals on our lists who aren't looking for a solution from Phoenix. [1] https://s.apache.org/44hy7
## Description:
- Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for Apache
Hadoop
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Continuing an excellent stream of new committers and PMC members (details
below). Two more committers have been confirmed via a VOTE but are pending
acceptance and clerical tasks to complete the addition.
- 4.14.2 is nearing completion. RC0 was voted on, but did not pass.
- 5.0.1 is getting close to an initial vote, but has some
stabilization/cleanup work yet to do. Appears to be naturally queueing up
after 4.14.2 nicely.
- A community event ("NoSQL Day"), focusing on Accumulo, HBase, and Phoenix
is scheduled for May 21st in Washington, D.C. We have half a dozen Phoenix
specific talks accepted on the agenda for the event.
## Health report:
- Nothing notable to report. Trends are continuing per normal. Influx of
"new blood" is a boon to the community, reflected in a good number of
commits and reviews by "old" community members.

release at the time of that last board report (Nov 2018).
- We've added a new PMC member and new committers! Karan was added as a PMC
member. Four new committers joined our ranks: Akshita, Chinmay, Jaanai,
and Gerald.
- Regular development continues on the 4.x release line. The 5.x would
benefit from a new release in the near future.
## Health report:
- Activity remains constant on average. We had an expected tail-off during
the Christmas and (calendar) New Year with our predominantly US-based
membership.

## Activity:
- One release since last report: 4.14.1. The release was approved by the PMC
and is in the process of being released today (2018/11/14)
- Lars H. (PMC) organized a Phoenix Meetup for 2018/11/14 in San Francisco,
CA to be a general community-driven discussion. Notes will be taken and
posted to the dev-list for those unable to join physically and remotely.
- We've not added any new committers or PMC, but do have on-going discussions
as to who we want to invite for each. These threads need to be bump'ed.
## Health report:
- Activity remains relatively flat. Contributions and user-interactions
remain relatively consistent.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 27 PMC members.
- New PMC members:
- Pedro Boado was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018
- Vincent Poon was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018

to be identified.
## Description:
- Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for Apache
Hadoop
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Two major release: 4.14.0 and 5.0.0. The former targeted HBase-0.98 and
1.x major release lines, the latter targeted HBase-2.0.
- Post 4.14, we've decided to stop releases versions of Phoenix that support
HBase 0.98 and 1.1 releases as the HBase project has made a similar
decision on creating more releases of those versions.
- Created a new mailing list, issues@phoenix, to reduce overall traffic to
dev@phoenix.
- Held PhoenixCon on June 18th in San Jose, California, USA concurrently
with HBaseCon (same day, same space). We had roughly 150 people in
attendance at the events, with 10 Phoenix-specific talks given. Feedback
was overall positive. Recordings are available at
https://phoenix.apache.org/phoenixcon-archives.html for those who were
unable to physically attend the event.
- We've added two new PMC members and one new committer since our last
report.
## Health report:
- Things largely remain the same for the project. As HBase continues to
evolve into newer versions, it requires us to do the same in Phoenix. We
have continued activity in the project and I believe things look OK for
the future.
- Continuing to support and grow new contributors is a challenge.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 27 PMC members.
- New PMC members:
- Pedro Boado was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018

- 5.0.0 was released on Sat Jul 14 2018
## Mailing list activity:
- List activity is largely consistent with previous months. There is a
slight down-tick in volume to users@phoenix.
## Description: - Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for Apache Hadoop ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time ## Activity: - 4.14.0 release (rc0) being voted upon now - 5.0.0-alpha release completed mid-February - 5.0.0 release (rc0) incoming soon - Completed IP Clearance process to adopt a new codebase: a Python-based driver originally developed outside of Apache. - PhoenixCon is scheduled for June 18th in San Jose, California, USA. The event will be held concurrently with HBaseCon (same day, same space). A subset of PMC members are presently finalizing talks which will be given at the event. https://phoenix.apache.org/phoenixcon-2018/ ## Health report: - Overall the project is maintaining its healthy state. We have our strong core developers, a regular collection of users getting involved, new developers submitting fixes, and releases happening. PMC needs to evaluate contributors and committers for new committers and PMC members, respectively. ## PMC changes: - Currently 25 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Sergey Soldatov on Mon Oct 02 2017 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 35 committers. - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Pedro Boado at Tue Jan 30 2018 ## Releases: - 5.0.0-alpha was released on Tue Feb 13 2018 ## Mailing list activity: - Both dev and user lists are trending upward slightly over the previous quarter but are not significantly different. ## JIRA activity: - 144 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 135 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

Phoenix is an open source SQL query engine for accessing NoSQL data
stores such as Apache HBase. It is accessed as a JDBC driver and
enables querying and managing HBase tables using SQL.
Phoenix has been incubating since 12/11/2013.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1) Continue to make our users successful and prove the value of
Phoenix+HBase over other alternatives.
2) Continue to attract new users, contributors, and committers to the
project.
3) Become the defacto standard for accessing data stored in NoSQL stores.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
No
How has the community developed since the last report?
Both dev and user traffic is strong on the mailing list (780 and 187 mail
messages respectively). Work is underway by an engineer from Huawei to
add a new secondary indexing strategy called local indexing to Phoenix.
James Taylor gave a talk on Apache Phoenix at ApacheCon. Eli Levine and
James Taylor gave a talk on Phoenix at HBaseCon. James will also give a
talk at Hadoop Summit. Good discussions took place at the HBase
Hackathon on how to commonize the type system between Phoenix, HBase,
Hive, Impala, and Kite, as well as on how Continuity's transaction support
(soon to be open sourced) may be plugged into Phoenix. An interesting
discussion is underway on how Phoenix can be leveraged to get SQL
support for the Apache Accumulo project.

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
John Ament (johndament):
Phoenix is a newer podling, however they are growing quite fast. While
there were some release issues, those were resolved quite quickly on the
general list and new releases cut quickly. Based on this I would
strongly recommend that the podling consider graduation sooner than
later. Most of their status report is complete as well.
