## Project Activity:
Version 0.18 still not released yet. Especially slow during summer but also
one of the major user (company) moving their Pig pipelines to cloud (AWS/GCP)
and taking active PMCs' time. In a short run, delaying our release even
further. In a long run, we may have some interesting contributions for running
Pig jobs on cloud.

0.18 branch is cut but not released yet. In the meantime, adding support for

0.18 or not especially since we have some new unit/e2e tests failing with this
change.

Above comment was a report from 2 months back. Release hasn't happened yet. We
still have a couple more changes we want to add including required log4j2
migration and python3 support. Moving Avro 1.9 support to next release as
incompatibility issues made it harder to support both 1.7.x and 1.9.x without
a shims layer.

Also, dependency has been updated and tested with
* hadoop 2.10.2 + tez 0.9.2 + spark 2.4.8 + hbase 2.4.14 (unit & e2e) and
* hadoop 3.2.4 + tez 0.10.2 + spark 2.4.8 + hbase 2.4.14 (unit only)

0.18 release in 2-3 weeks. Do not see any other major issues at the moment
that could further delay the release.

Most unit tests passing now with hadoop3 + tez/spark/mapreduce. E2E still
pending but close.

In addition,  most of the key patches for 0.18 release supporting newer
versions of dependencies are committed with a couple waiting for review
comments to be addressed. Also in the process of going through older jiras and
looking for jiras that can be added to the release.

Very low. Still working on getting the 0.18 out. After updating dependency for
spark-2.4.8 from 2.1.1, started updating dependencies for hadoop 2.10.1 from
2.7, tez 0.9.2 from 0.7, hbase 2.4.11 from 2.0.0, etc.
(PIG-5420 to PIG-5424)

Still, patch for hadoop 3 is pending (PIG-5253). Also, upgrading to tez 0.10.1
failed with regressions and need to be looked at. Work on Spark 3 support
hasn't started yet. This is probably after 0.18 release.

* Still working on resolving issues for 0.18 release.
 (Same from previous reports)
  * PIG-5253(Pig Hadoop 3 support) needs a review&testing.
  * Pig-on-spark has a couple of unit/e2e test failures after moving to

 newer versions of dependent stacks.  Also, working on fixing unstable

## Description:
 - Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets on Hadoop.  It
   provides a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs,
   coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs.


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

## Activity:
 - We're behind on the next major release of 0.18.

Overall activity is comparatively low for the past year as project is mostly
mature and stable.  There are new features and enhancements being worked on,
but the pace is slow as we have fewer people working on Pig who also divide
their time contributing to other Apache projects.

   Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets on Hadoop.  It
   provides a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs,
   coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs.

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

## Activity:
  - Pig 0.16 which is a stabilization release for Pig on Tez with many bug
    fixes is actively being worked on as more bugs get reported. Initially
    planned for December, will be targeting a January release due to more
    issues that require fixing.
  - Pig on Spark development is under way in the spark branch.

## Health report:
  - Project activity in the community is good.  In terms of focused
    development, there are lot of bug fixes and performance enhancements going
    on for Pig on Tez and feature development patches going in for Pig on
    Spark. In terms of users, there is still the same amount of questions on
    the user mailing list and jiras are being filed by different and new
    users. We had 8 different new contributors this quarter who contributed
    patches on small issues. This is also inline with the trend of new folks
    who do not dedicatedly contribute, but come and go contributing new UDFs,
    enhance existing ones or fix small issues they face.
 - There has been no new committership or PMC for more than an year which
   keeps affecting the project health score a lot. But when Pig on Spark
   project is ready for merge in to trunk in another quarter, couple of folks
   would be good to be voted in as committers.
  - We have not done talks, blogs or organize user meetups in past couple of
    quarters. That is something that we will have to work on in the next
    quarter.

## Description:
   Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets on Hadoop.  It
   provides a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs,
   coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs.

## Activity:
  - Development is under way for Pig 0.15.1 patch release and Pig 0.16 release
    with focus on performance optimizations, minor features/enhancements and
    stabilization of Pig on Tez.
  - Pig on Spark was running out of steam and had very little progress for
    past couple of months with only one person working on it and most of the
    interested parties backing out to focus on other projects. But it is back
    on track now with new contributors from another organization who are
    heavily invested in Pig scripts and looking to migrate from Mapreduce to
    Spark ready to drive it and target making it production ready by end of
    the year for deployment in their clusters.
  - Dilip Ramesh mentored by Daniel Dai on PIG-2597 for GSOC 2015 successfully
    completed the program. He is continuing to work on it post GSOC 2015 as
    well on rest of the pieces required to complete the full feature.


## Health report:
 - Project activity in the community - mails, commits, bugs etc is good. Users
   have also started using and reporting issues on Pig on Tez which was a new
   execution engine released in Pig 0.14.
 - There has been no new committership for an year. Patches are being
   contributed by lot of new and different users. But not enough complex
   patches or volume of patches or long time involvement per person to
   nominate for committership at the moment. There are couple of folks inching
   towards that with regular contributions and hopefully we will have some of
   them in the next board report.

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

Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a
high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with
infrastructure for evaluating these programs. The salient property of Pig
programs is that their structure is amenable to substantial parallelization,
which in turns enables them to handle very large data sets.

* Pig's infrastructure is in good shape. We just announced our first
release from the incubator Pig 0.1.0! In addition, a major system redesign
is underway that introduces type system, improves performance, and provides
better platform for future work. The rework is expected to complete in
October 2008.

* The development community is growing with addition of Daniel Dai as a new
committer. More work needed to attract developers to the project.

* The user community is also growing with more activity on the user mailing
list. In addition, a tutorial and user function repository were added to
help users to come up to speed on the product. Also there is ongoing work on
the user documentation.

Incubating since: October 2007

high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with
infrastructure for evaluating these programs. The salient property of Pig
programs is that their structure is amenable to substantial parallelization,
which in turns enables them to handle very large data sets.

Pig's infrastructure is in good shape. Several new features have been added
since Pig joined the incubator. This includes streaming, parameter
substitution, custom splits, better configuration management, improved
memory management, etc. 147 issues resolved since. Work in progress includes
addition of types and rework of the execution pipeline.

The community is growing with the addition of Pi Song as a new committer.

There is increased activity on the pig-dev mailing list with a number of
contributors.

The project needs to improve its compliance with some standard Incubator
tasks, like updating the status file on a regular basis.
