## Project Activity:
The last release was 0.10.2 which was released on 2022-07-15. We've already
started to discuss 0.10.3.

## Community Health:
I need to clarify some points regarding Cloudera (which was mentioned in the
last report and was confusing, sorry). Regarding community health, the board
might want to be aware that Tez project is in a local optimum for a long time,
there are no huge ongoing improvements, and it's stable and working, however,
it means that it might be challenging to get new committers, as sometimes we
expect 5-10-whatever commits, including some with deeper understanding of the
code and components. However, I really want to get new people involved,
because it would make it feel like a community, and that's how Cloudera came
into the picture. I'm currently working for Cloudera, and I figured out that
sometimes it's easier to advertise open tickets and invite people to
collaborate if they're your colleagues, team members, etc. That's what I was
doing recently, therefore it's a new active member around (Ayush Saxena,
already member of PMC in another projects btw.), which is cool I believe.
Needless to say that I'm aware of the need of a diverse community, I'm
happily, actively reviewing patchers from anyone.

Change the Apache Tez Project Chair

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Jonathan Turner Eagles
 (jeagles) to the office of Vice President, Apache Tez, and

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Jonathan
 Turner Eagles from the office of Vice President, Apache Tez, and

 WHEREAS, the Project Management Committee of the Apache Tez project has chosen
 by vote to recommend László Bodor (abstractdog) as the successor to the post;

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Jonathan Turner Eagles is relieved and
 discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice
 President, Apache Tez, and

 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that László Bodor be and hereby is appointed to the
 office of Vice President, Apache Tez, to serve in accordance with and subject
 to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation
 until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a
 successor is appointed.

 Special Order 7D, Change the Apache Tez Project Chair, was
 approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.

21 Apr 2021 [Jonathan Turner Eagles / Sam]

## Description:
Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be
used to process arbitrarily complex DAGs of data-processing tasks and also a
re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects.

## Issues:
None at this time. One more PMC member not on the private email list has been
tracked down and resolved. It's safe to assume remaining members are not
active in project guidance and activities.

## Membership Data:
Apache Tez was founded 2014-07-15 (7 years ago)
There are currently 35 committers and 32 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-11-23.
- No new committers. Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-01-22.

## Project Activity:
Full github PR integration (yetus-based) has been completed (long standing
issue). Community members have been using this and an uptick of github patch
submissions has been seen and from new contributors.

Improvement with apache maven build pom standard has been added to and will
help with contributors coming from other apache products.

Two strong features in the next few quarter will be jdk 11 runtime support and
Hadoop 3.3.0 certified release. Jdk 11 CI build support already added so just
certifying runtime release is necessary. Hadoop 3.3.0 has broken some
compatibility so we are designing how to create a compatible release as this
is one of our main runtime environments

## Community Health:
Healthy amount of contribution from new members, though not enough to start
considering new committers at this point.

Some emails increase from dev and issues is really due to integration with
github and it should be expected that a reduction in dev emails should be
expected next quarter as this was creating difficulty in using that list.

## Description:
Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be
used to process arbitrarily complex DAGs of data-processing tasks and also a
re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects.

## Issues:
Comments clr: Please keep the board informed regarding almost half of the PMC
not being subscribed to the private mail list. It should be easy enough to ask
if these folks really are still interested in providing oversight.
- Sent request to 14 Tez PMC members to understand to understand interest in
  taking active role in providing oversight for the project and to present
  options of signing up to the private list, going emeritus, or resigning.
  Received 4 responses: 1 private list sign-up, 1 emeritus, 2 resignations.
  Leaving 11 PMC unsubscribed to private list. Will follow up again this
  quarter to address remaining 11 accounts.
## Membership Data:
Apache Tez was founded 2014-07-15 (6 years ago)
There are currently 38 committers and 35 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- László Bodor was added to the PMC on 2020-11-23
- No new committers. Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-01-22.

## Project Activity:
New PMC member created release 0.10.0 was released on 2020-10-15. This release
has future jdk release support and works with Apache Hadoop 3+. Ongoing github
integration made great progress, by reaching out to yetus project and receive
patches that will enable full support. Likely this quarter full yetus, github
integration will be working.

## Community Health:
- many github PRs were closed this quarter to prepare for this being a more
  active way to contribute to the project.
-interest from apache nutch led to more user discussion that usual this month.
-holiday vacation led to decreased activity overall on the user lists and
 active jira.

## Description:
Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be
used to process arbitrarily complex DAGs of data-processing tasks and also a

## Issues:
ss:
"Just need to reach out to the community for an expert in setting this up." -
 As this was raised in previous report in April, did this reaching out get
 done? A relatively large number of people on the PMC Roster _appear_ not to
 be subscribed to the private@ list. Is there any particular reason for that?
 The list traffic in the past quarter has been mostly build failure
 notifications and issue creation notifications. I see no mention of a release
 on the dev@ list? Is communication taking place elsewhere?ata here]

Number of github PRs has slowed down. Still haven't resolved getting github
integration, but the issue is less pressing now.

PMC roster are not subscribed is likely an artifact of incubation
grandfathered members that were never active in the project. I will reach out
to see what can be done. Perhaps some will want to go emeritus for the
project.

A slack channel was setup and some offline discussion took place for release
planning. Realized this was a mistake and moved discussion to formal email
list.

## Membership Data:
Apache Tez was founded 2014-07-15 (6 years ago)
There are currently 39 committers and 35 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Kuhu Shukla on 2018-03-25.
- No new committers. Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-01-22.

## Project Activity:
Build was migrated to new cloud bees architecture.
0.10.0 rc1 release is being voted on currently Snapshot builds for 0.10 line
and 0.9.x lines are now working and snapshots are being posted post commits.

## Community Health:
Resolved issues where snapshot builds were constantly running and failing
causing strange email metrics.

## Description:
Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be
used to process arbitrarily complex DAGs of data-processing tasks and also a

## Issues:
nh: "What "Some assistance...may be needed" are you referring to? Is it help
from Infra or "just" individuals who knows the workflow on how to get PRs into
the codebase?"

Just need to reach out to the community for an expert in setting this up.

Next Tez release was delayed due to community members conflict during this
time. Likely next quarter, but need to get on a more regular release schedule.

## Project Activity:
Continued work on Hadoop 3.x compatibility. Continued work on JDK 11
compatability

## Community Health:
Overall there is good activity. There is a high number of open jiras that need
to be analyzed and closed to bring the number from 1000+ to a more manageable
size.

## Description:
Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be

## Issues:
Work from home has limited our productivity as a community over the last
month, but has picked up again the last couple of weeks. 0.9.3 release delayed
due to this. Some assistance for github based PRs may be needed. Yetus
supports this, but there are some gaps in setup knowledge in the community.

## Project Activity:
Continued activity from newest committer László Bodor who has been a very
active member. More compatibility with Hadoop 3.x improvements added.
Downstream project interest from hive LLAP project has picked up recently with
performance related fixes.

0.9.2 was released on 2019-03-29.

## Community Health:
Good discussions on fixes and improvements. Some community user related help
request and bugs. While activity has been down the last month. Overall, there
has been increasing traffic on JIRA and mailing lists.

## Description:
  Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application
  framework which can be used to process arbitrarily complex
  directed-acyclic graphs (DAGs) of data-processing tasks and
  also a re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can
  be used by other projects.

## Activity:

  There has been decent activity over the past few months. The
  maintenance lines for 0.5 and 0.6 are going strong with
  various fixes. Users are looking forward to a new release of
  0.6.1 which hopefully should happen in the next few weeks.
  New enhancements such as making the more performant
  PipelinedSorter the default sort implementation as well
  as initial work on a PipelinedShuffle have gone into the
  master branch.  Branch TEZ-2003 created for work related
  to allowing Tez to co-ordinate execution with external
  services ( initial focus to work with Hive’s LLAP engine)
  The release for 0.6.0 ( with the emphasis on the Tez UI )
  went out in January. On a different note, although the PMC
  has been following the same implicit policies that had been
  applied whilst incubating, we are now finally getting
  around to formalizing them into the project by-laws
  (jira TEZ-2231).

## Issues:

 There are no major issues at this time that require the
 Board’s attention.

## PMC/Committership changes:

- Currently 33 committers and 31 PMC members in the project.
- No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
- Last PMC addition was Jonathan Turner Eagles at Mon Oct 20 2014
- Prakash Ramachandran was added as a committer on Thu Jan 08 2015
- Alan Gates resigned from the PMC in February, 2015, citing his lack
  of activity on the project and the presence of enough other
  experienced Apache people on the project.

The initial activity was mostly around migrating the infrastructure
which was done promptly by the infra folks and with minimal
disruption to the community.  There has been a lot of momentum on
finishing up the API clean up and local mode implementation
completed to help improve usability of Tez.  These are the 2
main objectives for the upcoming 0.5 release.

aware of?

 None at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new PPMC members or committers added since the last report. We have
 started getting steady contributions from some contributors and hope to
 graduate them to committers within the coming months. There were around
 10 non-committers that contributed to the past 2 releases of Tez.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the first week of February, 2014 (last report), we have had around
 300+ jiras filed and 215+ jiras resolved. 2 releases were done in the past
 3 months. 0.3.0-incubating was released in February and 0.4.0-incubating in
 April.

Date of last release:

 2014-04-05

How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new PPMC members or committers added since the last report. We have had
 interest from both new users and contributors via mailing lists and JIRA.
 The Hive project recently merged its native support for Tez into their
 trunk branch. The Pig community is also working on integrating  Tez and we
 have seen various JIRAs filed as well as some patches from Pig developers.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the first week of November, 2013 (last report), we have had around
 180+ jiras filed and 130+ jiras resolved. We made the first release of Tez
 ( version 0.2.0 ) in the first week of December, 2013. There is currently
 ongoing work to make Tez work on a secure Hadoop cluster, after which we
 plan to do a 0.3.0 release.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

None at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

 No new PPMC members or committers added since the last report. We have had
 some interest on the mailing lists both from a user and contributor
 perspective. There have been a few contributions coming in from new
 contributors. We are hoping to grow the community once Tez becomes a more
 mainstream feature in use by Hive and Pig.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 Since the first week of August, 2013 (last report), we have had around
 240+ jiras filed and 200+ jiras resolved. There have been multiple
 meetings with folks from the Hive and Pig projects. Folks in the Hive
 community have been working on integrating with Tez for quite some time
 (HIVE-4660 for more details). In the past few months, we have had more
 interactions with the Pig community on using Tez as one of the execution
 engines and there is quite a bit of work being done to integrate with Tez
 (more details on PIG-3446).

Date of last release:

 None yet, we anticipate making one end of November, 2013.

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

 At project incubation. No new PPMC members or committers added since the

 No new PPMC members or committers added since the last report. We need to
 work to do a better job of identifying new contributors, but there is great
 activity so I don't think this will be a big issue.

How has the project developed since the last report?

 1. 170 jiras filed and 120 odd jiras resolved since the first week of June
    2013.
 2. The first Tez meetup was held at the Hortonworks office on July 31st and
    had an attendance of around 30+ users/developers from across the Hadoop
    ecosystem community.
 3. Seeing more adoption from the Hive community as well as some initial
    prototyping work being done in Pig.
 4. Looking to make a release in the next couple of months after the release
    of hadoop-2.1.0-beta ( which Tez depends on ).

 We are to looking to increase both the user base as well as get more
 contributors by having more meetups and also expect a release to drive more
 adoption of Tez.
