## Description: The mission of Apache Ratis is the creation and maintenance of software related to a highly customizable Raft protocol implementation in Java ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache Ratis was founded 2021-02-16 (4 years ago) There are currently 31 committers and 19 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was William Song on 2024-01-18. - No new committers. Last addition was Xinyu Tan on 2024-08-27. ## Project Activity: We released Ratis 3.1.2 on 2024-11-13. It is a maintenance release with improvements and bug fixes. We also released Ratis-Thirdparty 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 respectively on 2024-11-27 and 2024-12-27. They mainly update the third party library versions. We are currently discussing the next Ratis 3.1.3 maintenance release. The previous Ratis 3.1.1 and Ratis Thirdparty 1.0.6 respectively on 2024-09-26 and 2024-05-14. ## Community Health: The project is healthy. In this quarter, we have less email traffic (23% decrease in dev@, 89% decrease in user@), less commits (25% decrease) and less contributors (14% decrease). On the other hand, we have more pull requests opened (30% increase) and closed (60% increase). One of the major focuses in the development is the gRPC zero-copy feature.
No report was submitted.

## Description: The mission of Apache Ratis is the creation and maintenance of software related to a highly customizable Raft protocol implementation in Java. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: NA ## Membership Data: Apache Ratis was founded 2021-02-17 (3 years ago) There are currently 30 committers and 19 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was William Song on 2024-01-19. - No new committers. Last addition was Guo Hao on 2023-10-14. ## Project Activity: We released Ratis 3.1.0 and Ratis Thirdparty 1.0.6 respectively on 2024-06-29 and 2024-05-14. Ratis 3.1.0 is a minor release which has 90 commit changes compared to the previous 3.0.1 release. The minor release includes bug fixes, performance improvement, build and documentation improvement. Ratis Thirdparty 1.0.6 is a maintenance release mainly for updating the versions of the dependencies. We are currently discussing the next Ratis 3.2.0 release which includes a new gRPC zero copy feature. The previous Ratis 3.0.1 and Ratis Thirdparty 1.0.5 releases were released on 2024-01-19 and 2023-11-05, respectively. ## Community Health: The project is healthy. In this quarter, we have more traffic compared to the previous quarter as expected, since the previous quarter was the holiday season. We have quite a few new contributors starting contributing to Ratis. One reason probably is due to the new adoption of Ratis by Apache Celeborn [1]. [1] The ASF.

Last addition was Guo Hao on 2023-10-13. ## Project Activity: We released Ratis 3.0.1 on 2024-01-09. It was a minor release which added roughly 30 commits to the previous Ratis 3.0.0 release. The release included bug fixes, performance improvements, documentation and build improvements. The previous Ratis 3.0.0 release was released on 2023-11-17. ## Community Health: The project is healthy. The project in this quarter was less active than the previous quarter. Most of the project statistics recorded a decrease. The main reasons were that we worked hard on the previous quarter for the 3.0.0 major release and this quarter (December to March) included many holidays around the world. The project had a lower activity as expected.

We have quite a few performance improvement on Ratis Streaming and a few security fixes and bug fixes. We also have moved Hadoop related components from ratis.git to a new ratis-hadoop-projects.git repository in order to reduce the size of the dependence tree of ratis.git.

It has been tested with Apache Ozone where Ratis is used to replicate raw data and to provide high availability. A new feature, ratis-shell (RATIS-1412), is being added. It enables users to run shell commands for managing ratis clusters. As a note, Ratis is fortunately NOT affected by the Log4j security bug (CVE-2021-44228) since it does not use log4j2. It does use slf4j-log4j12. ## Community Health: The project is healthy.

Note that 2.0.0 is wire compatible with 1.0.0 since there are no incompatible protobuf changes. We have tested the following cases to verify that 2.0.0 is wire compatible with 1.0.0. - 1.0 client talking to 2.0 server. - 2.0 client talking to 1.0 server. - 1.0 client talking to 1.0 server and 2.0 server in the same raft group. - 2.0 client talking to 1.0 server and 2.0 server in the same raft group. Note that 2.0.0 is API incompatible with 1.0.0 due to the API changes (RATIS-1181, RATIS-1242). We have formally defined a set of public APIs for StateMachine implementations. We also have moved the new APIs to a new maven module named ratis-server-api. The previous 1.0.0 release was released on 2020-07-20. ## Community Health: The project is healthy. There is not much activity in this quarter compared with the last quarter. As mentioned in the Project Activity section, we worked on two big changes, (1) Streaming and (2) public API in the last quarter. We focus on bug fix and performance improvement in this quarter.

The vote is in progress. A major feature of 2.0.0 is Ratis Streaming (RATIS-979), which supports zero buffer copying and asynchronous event driven. A major incompatible change of 2.0.0 is the API change (RATIS-1181, RATIS-1242). It is to formally define a set of public APIs for StateMachine implementations. We also have moved the new APIs to a new maven module. ## Community Health: Commit activity: - 103 commits in the past quarter (-23% decrease) - 16 code contributors in the past quarter (-5% decrease) GitHub PR activity: - 103 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-27% decrease) - 108 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-21% decrease) The metrics above show a decrease of activity from the quarter compared to the last quarter. The main reason is that this quarter (December to March) include many holidays around the world. It is expected to have a lower activity in the project.

Ratis is a java implementation for RAFT consensus protocol
Ratis has been incubating since 2017-01-03.
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
The podling is ready for graduation. The PPMC has voted in favor of
graduation. A discussion has been started on incubator-general. A few

I am concerned that this podling has 36 contributors but has never added committers/PPMC members.
PPMC and Mentors should handle this regularly. I've sent a note to private. Let's see when it is moderated.
