## 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. ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache Tez was founded 2014-07-16 (10 years ago) There are currently 36 committers and 33 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. Community changes, past quarter: - Ayush Saxena was added to the PMC on 2024-09-17 - No new committers. Last addition was Ayush Saxena on 2024-01-09. ## Project Activity: 0.10.4 was released on 2024-09-15 after a struggling vote (inactivity). Hopefully, the new PMC member addition will help with this in the future. ## Community Health: New PMC member Ayush Saxena was added in the last quarter. The community passed a roll call.

Last addition was Ayush Saxena on 2024-01-09. ## Project Activity: The current release candidate of 0.10.4 is being under review. ## Community Health: The last committer Ayush Saxena is still very active. The current challenge is that it's very hard to get release reviews from PMC members, as they are not really active anymore. I was wondering to report this as an issue for the board, but so far we have been able to make the release every time, however, we need to figure out something in the long term.
@Craig: pursue a roll call for PMC

Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-01-23. ## Project Activity: Still haven't started doing 0.10.3 release process, which would be beneficial. We're planning it for this year to stay inline with the previous years' pattern that worked well: 1 release/year if there is no extra pressure to do it otherwise. ## Community Health:

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.

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.
## 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 re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects. ## 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 re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects. ## 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. ## Membership Data: Apache Tez was founded 2014-07-15 (6 years ago) There are currently 39 committers and 35 PMC members in this project.

Last addition was László Bodor on 2020-01-22. ## 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 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: 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. ## 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. - László Bodor was added as committer on 2020-01-22 ## 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.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- A 0.9.2 release has been in progress for some time almost all
blockers have been resolved. 0.10 release line has added Hadoop 3.0
support and will provide Pig and Hive and others Hadoop 3.0 support
for Tez. Tez developers met in Sunnyvale, California and online at
developer conference to discuss Q4 goals and issues 8 tez developers
were present. Build system was switched to Yetus 0.8 to allow to
reduce friction for contributions.
## Health report:
- Delay of Tez 0.9.2 release due to jetty 9 CVE issues. Branch 0.10.0
branch cut and issues resolved but issue since release manager is not
a committer so RM is working with a committer to accelerate the
process

The 0.7.0 release was targeted for various performance enhancements. There were also maintenance releases for both the 0.5 and 0.6 lines. Community activity remains high with focus on various performance enhancements, improvements to the UI and fixing bugs as and when encountered by users. Work is also continuing on the TEZ-2003 branch which is meant to allow Tez to work in a hybrid manner by introducing support for integrating with 3rd party execution engines. The Apache Tez paper was accepted at SIGMOD, 2015. ( http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2742790 ).

## 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. ## Releases: - 0.6.0 was released on Fri Jan 23 2015 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@tez.apache.org: - 152 subscribers (up 7 in the last 3 months): - 247 emails sent to list (202 in previous quarter) - issues@tez.apache.org: - 55 subscribers (down -1 in the last 3 months): - 3701 emails sent to list (2874 in previous quarter) - user@tez.apache.org: - 157 subscribers (up 11 in the last 3 months): - 107 emails sent to list (157 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 359 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 227 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months

ISSUES There are no issues that require the board's attention at this time. STATUS Apache Tez graduated from Incubator in July 2014. 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. RELEASES 0.4.1-incubating was released on July 15, 2014. - This was the last release as an Incubator podling. COMMUNITY Auth: 31 PMC members and committers (as of Aug 06, 2014). One vote in progress to add a new committer - Jonathan Eagles. Jira: Last 30 days: 120 jiras created, 104 resolved.

Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be used to process arbitrarily complex data-processing tasks and also a re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects. Tez has been incubating since 2013-02-24. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Growing the community. 2. 3. 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 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 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? At project incubation. No new PPMC members or committers added since the last report.

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 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. Date of last release: 2013-12-03 When were the last committers or PMC members elected? At project incubation. No new PPMC members or committers added 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 last report.

to process arbitrarily complex data-processing tasks and also a re-usable set
of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects.
Tez has been incubating since 2013-02-24.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Develop collaborations with other Apache projects, including Hadoop, YARN
2. Make an initial Tez release.
3. Grow the Apache Tez community.
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 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.

Another here that we need to do a better job of here is discussing issues on list. I see lots of JIRAs and commits, but few [DISCUSS] and other threads. There was a discussion of merging TEZ-1 which is great though. How has the project developed since the last report? 1. 109 issues resolved and 81 currently open in JIRA (lots of work going on). 2. Discussion to merge TEZ-1 (branch) into master. 3.
