## Description: The mission of Apache Rya is the creation and maintenance of software related to scalable storage, retrieval, and analysis of RDF data ## Issues: Feedback from the last report was: rbowen: Looking back over the past year of reports, it appears that there have not been any commits in a little over a year. Is this project still viable? Our answer: The PMC believes the project is still viable. There is continued interest in using Rya in multiple projects. The PMC members are interested in the project, but they did not have much time to contribute lately, We are discussing ways to increase contributions and increase the number of committers.

Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /rēə/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that
supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built
on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and
query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across
multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through
SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data.
Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increase diversity of committers
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?
* The community is moving towards graduation: restarted discussion on
graduation and started to complete the items required for this step
* We welcome new users and contributors from Semantic Web Company. A CCLA
from Semantic Web Company is being worked on.
* Received multiple logo proposals. Community discussed and voted a new
logo
* We lost two mentors, but the remaining two mentors are very responsive
and helpful
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Changed RdfFileInputTool to accept multiple input paths, so it can load
RDF data from multiple folders
* Changed from guava's iterators to Java collection's iterators to avoid
versioning issues due to the recent change in Guava's
Iterator.emptyIterator visibility
* Minor improvements to code and documentation

Comments: Discussion on dev@ that may be missed here, interest from
some new contributors ("semantic web company") seems to be genuine and
helps bolster diverse podling population. Hoping that graduation will
push to completion this time and not run out of steam as the last
times did.

processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple
nodes.
Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through SPARQL, a conventional
query mechanism for RDF data.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Increase diversity of committers
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware

No
How has the community developed since the last report?
* Moving towards graduation
How has the project developed since the last report?
* Started major version change Apache Rya 4.0.0 (incubating)
* Migrated from using older OpenRDF Sesame libraries to newer RDF4J
* Fixed various bugs related to the use of RDF4J libraries (e.g. language
support for literals)
* Added tests for RyaStreams join iterator
* Moved Geo Indexing specific maven repositories into the geoindexing
profile, so geo-related jars are only fetched when geoindexing profile is
used
* Repackaged reusable Mongo DB test code in a new project rya.test.mongo
* Implemented Kafka Connect Sink implementations for Accumulo and MongoDB
backed Rya

Shepherd/Mentor notes:
Josh Elser
The podling put in a substantial amount of work to get their first
release out. We noticed that their geospatial indexing support was
bringing in a bunch of incompatibly licensed deps. Multiple members made
an effort to both understand the problem and the potential to address it.
I was/am very happy both with their patience, effort, and concern that
was given to the problem. It was a good sign that they will pay attention
to these kinds of problems on their own in the future (self-governing).

How has the community developed since the last report?
* We have documented (on Confluence) and tested procedures for committers
to review and incorporate Pull Requests into the incubator-rya Apache
git repository.
* The committers are becoming much more comfortable with the Apache
infrastructure and processes. Committers have been documenting processes
on Confluence, creating Jira tickets, tying these to Rya components and
versions, and submitting and pulling in PRs to resolve these Jira
tickets.
* The Rya user community (i.e. non-committers) have begun submitting
issues through Jira and the dev list. These have become Jira tickets,
resolved by committers, and tested by the community. Specifically, the
community submitted RYA-19, RYA-17, and RYA-6. Committers resolved and
the community tested RYA-19 and RYA-17.
* Non-committers have also begun submitting PRs that have been
incorporated into the apache repo. Specifically, RYA-13 and most of
RYA-7 was done by non-committers.
* We've started logging "beginner" Jira tickets. These are issues that
we've found in Rya that a new developer could take on as a good way to
"get their feet wet" in the code base.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* We've completed adding the Apache license headers and added license
header verification to the project's build.
* Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered.

* Mongo Core and Geo indexing.
* Still working on creating a website for the project.
