## Description: Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables the implementation of a variety of primitives and mechanisms that are critical for safety and liveness in distributed settings, e.g., distributed locks, master election, group membership, and configuration. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: None ## Membership Data: Apache ZooKeeper was founded 2010-11-17 (14 years ago) There are currently 33 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Damien Diederen on 2024-04-16. - Kezhu Wang was added as committer on 2024-08-02 ## Project Activity: There hasn't been any release in this last period, although there is development traffic as observed from the issues created and updated. It could be in part due to contributors being away during the summer months, but some of the issues about activity have been observed previously or even repeatedly: - As raised in a comment from the previous report, the release process has been slow and it puts in question the ability of this community to produce a release fast if needed. - There are a number of user questions that go unanswered - The PMC overall has not been very active in driving the community, and in particular, could be playing a more active role in driving releases and mentoring contributors to become new committers and PMC members. Overall, we have been observing over time a drop in activity due to more options of projects in this space and options of distributed systems architecture. ## Community Health: The community is making progress with issues and features, but there has been no release, and overall activity has been dropping over time. It is lacking a more active role of the PMC (as a whole, since there are always exceptional individuals who step up) when it comes to providing guidance and driving the community work. Releases are consequently affected by the lack of guidance.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Mate Szalay-Beko on 2022-03-28. - Li Wang was added as committer on 2023-03-17 ## Project Activity: The most recent release is 3.8.1, which was released on 2023-01-30. There is an ongoing thread about cutting a 3.9.0 major release, and minor releases for the 3.7.and 3.8 branches. ## Community Health: We have added a new committer, and the community is discussing the scope and management of upcoming releases, major and minor. The dev traffic metrics are low, and it is possibly due to the absence of release in the period. User traffic has increased compared to the previous period. - dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 73% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (47 emails compared to 168) - notifications@zookeeper.apache.org had a 64% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (131 emails compared to 359) - user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 106% increase in traffic in the past quarter (31 emails compared to 15) - 23 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-32% change) - 27 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-3% change) - 7 commits in the past quarter (-91% change) - 4 code contributors in the past quarter (-78% change) - 15 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-51% change) - 11 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-71% change)

Last addition was Ling Mao on 2021-01-16. ## Project Activity: No release in the reporting period. Release branch 3.5 was made end-of-line, and the community is now focusing on release branches 3.6 through 3.8. Release 3.7.1 is the latest stable release while we stabilize the 3.8 branch. ## Community Health: We have been observing in the recent past projects that have historically used ZooKeeper for distributed coordination moving to alternatives, such as other coordination systems or their own Raft implementation. Project traffic, consequently, has been dropping, although there is still sufficient interest in maintaining the project as many applications still rely on ZooKeeper. In this last reporting period, however, traffic was very low across multiple metrics, see below. It is possible that it is at least in part due to summer break, but we will regardless keep tracking traffic metrics to determine whether this is a trend or seasonal. We will also continue to work with the community to encourage more participation, especially from new contributors. - dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 31% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (74 emails compared to 106) - issues@zookeeper.apache.org had a 32% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (195 emails compared to 286) - notifications@zookeeper.apache.org had a 36% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (244 emails compared to 377) - user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 55% increase in traffic in the past quarter (56 emails compared to 36) - 51 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-21% change) - 14 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-67% change) - 17 commits in the past quarter (-85% change) - 9 code contributors in the past quarter (-64% change) - 27 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-52% change) - 16 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-62% change)

The activity increase observed across the dev list, issues opened/closed, commits and code contributions reflects all the effort from the community to cut all these releases. It was certainly a good quarter for the project. Health indicators: - dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 13% increase in traffic in the past quarter (1170 emails compared to 1034) - issues@zookeeper.apache.org had a 27% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (788 emails compared to 1065) - 106 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (no change) - 65 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (30% increase) - 166 commits in the past quarter (107% increase) - 30 code contributors in the past quarter (20% increase) - 103 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (10% increase) - 80 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (1% increase)

We had a spike on the issues@ list due to bulk changes to Jira issues (version updates). We also observed more traffic on the user list, which are general questions about ZooKeeper. We did observe a good number of questions around the internals (Zab and reconfiguration) of ZooKeeper. * dev@zookeeper.apache.org had a 44% decrease in traffic in the past quarter (1231 emails compared to 2169) * issues@zookeeper.apache.org had a 3130% increase in traffic in the past quarter (1260 emails compared to 39) * notifications@zookeeper.apache.org had a 1276% increase in traffic in the past quarter (1666 emails compared to 121) * user@zookeeper.apache.org had a 183% increase in traffic in the past quarter (184 emails compared to 65) * 112 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-1% decrease) * 83 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (2% increase) * 102 commits in the past quarter (-18% decrease) * 32 code contributors in the past quarter (39% increase) * 96 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-29% decrease) * 102 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-7% decrease)

## Issues:
No issue requires board attention
## Activity:
- We have cut two releases in this period. 3.4.14 is a bug-fix release
of the 3.4 branch, while the 3.5.5 release is the one in which we transitioned
from beta to GA in the 3.5 branch. To recap, the 3.5 branch contains
reconfiguration work, which took a long time to stabilize, and it is in fact
a major milestone for the community.
- Both releases fix the security vulnerability reported in CVE-2019-0201.
- We have invited one committer to join the PMC, and offered committership
to two new contributors.
## Health report:
The community is stable at the moment, and there has been no significant
change to email and issue traffic. The community has been able to cut two
releases and increase the group of committers and the PMC. We are continuously
looking for opportunities to engage new contributors and offer committership
to the ones that make important community contributions. Overall, there
is no health concern.

in the previous version of the 3.4 branch.
- Release 3.5.4: 3.5.4-beta is the second beta in the planned 3.5 release
line leading up to a stable 3.5 release. It comprises 113 bug fixes and
improvements. The previous release of branch 3.5, release 3.5.3, added
a new feature ZOOKEEPER-2169 “Enable creation of nodes with TTLs”. There
was a major oversight when TTL nodes were implemented, and ZOOKEEPER-2901
fixes the issue.

to cut a release candidate.
- There has been questions and work in the security list around
vulnerabilities, but there has been no disclosure in this period.
## Health report:
The project activity is currently at a low. It has been fairly stable
during the past year, but we are still suffering from the

## Activity:
Key points:
- There has been no addition to the set of committers or PMC;
- The traffic of mailing lists has dropped both on
user and dev;
- There has been fewer jiras created and resolved compared to
the previous period;
- We moved from CMS to gitpubsub for our website. This required
code and process changes within the community;
- We are moving our documentation to use markdown instead of xml;
- We sent to Mitre the details of the vulnerability report
with identifier CVE-2017-5637 as requested. This security
issue has been considered moderate, and we have fixed the issue
in release 3.4.10;
- We have released a new bug fix version of the 3.4 branch;
- We continue to work towards making the 3.5 branch GA. It
is still beta due to the introduction of the reconfiguration
feature in that branch. We are currently working towards
producing a 3.5 release candidate.

## Activity:
There has been no significant change to the project status
since the last report. There has been no addition to the
set of committers or PMC. The traffic of mailing lists has
not changed significantly, although the number of subscribers
has increased slightly and the overall number of messages
to the dev list has dropped.

## Releases:
- Last release was 3.5.3 on Mon Apr 17 2017
## Mailing list activity:
Dev list traffic has dropped by ~10%. User list traffic has increases
by 15%. The traffic drop of the mailing lists is very likely due to
the summer vacation period, which is typically a bit slower.

## Activity:
We have completed two releases since March and the community is now working
towards the first stable release of the 3.5 branch. There isn’t much to
report other than the fact that there is work going on in the community,
see for example, mailing list and lira numbers below.
## Health report:
Number of subscribers and emails sent to the user/dev lists have grown
only slightly. The size of the community has been roughly stable, although
the slight growth is an indication of health: we still occasionally get
new joiners and the overall numbers aren’t dropping.
We are also working with various contributors in the community to get them
to a stage that we can offer them committership. We also have just voted a
new PMC member, but this PMC Chair hasn’t processed the new member yet.

## Mailing list activity:
Number of dev subscribers has grown by 2%, while the number of user
subscribers has grown by less than 1%. As I have explained in a previous
report, typically questions on ZooKeeper are asked in the dev list. In
fact, the number of messages sent to the user list is small compared
to the dev list.

## Description: Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables distributed systems to implement a variety of primitives and mechanisms that are critical for them to function, e.g., distributed locks, master election, group membership, and configuration. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: The community has been very active on the discussion of issues as we can observe by the number of messages sent to the dev list. This number is actually larger compared to the previous period. We have also been receiving a few security reports over time (one in the last period) and have needed to act upon them. Our community is still a bit immature with respect to dealing with security, which mainly stems from the fact that Apache ZooKeeper has traditionally assumed that it runs behind secure boundaries, and only recently security has become of greater interest to our users. We are making progress on learning how to deal with such security issues and reports, though. As for releases, we have been discussing two releases for a while, 3.4.10 and 3.5.3, but unfortunately, they didn’t happen in this period. The PMC expects at least one release to happen in the upcoming period. ## Health report: We have added two new committers and one new PMC member. The dev activity is high, while the user activity is steady. We have not had high activity on the user list in the recent past, mainly because of the nature of the project. Users of Apache ZooKeeper tend to be interested in its internals and questions are often sent directly to dev. ## PMC changes: - Currently 12 PMC members. - Rakesh Radhakrishnan was added to the PMC on Fri Mar 03 2017 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 21 committers. - New commmitters: - Mohammad Arshad was added as a committer on Mon Jan 23 2017 - Michael Han was added as a committer on Tue Dec 20 2016 ## Releases: - Last release was 3.4.9 on Sat Sep 03 2016 ## Mailing list activity: The dev list activity has increased compared to the last period. There is no special reason for it to happen other than interest of contributors and committers being more available to interact with the community. As we mentioned above, the traffic of the user list has been steady for quite a while. Members of the Apache ZooKeeper community tend to ask questions directly on the dev list as they are often interested in the internals and contributing as well. - dev@zookeeper.apache.org: - 504 subscribers (up 4 in the last 3 months): - 3842 emails sent to list (3322 in previous quarter) - user@zookeeper.apache.org: - 1189 subscribers (up 6 in the last 3 months): - 187 emails sent to list (185 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 68 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 52 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
## Description:
Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables
distributed systems to implement a variety of primitives and mechanisms that
are critical for such systems to function, e.g., distributed locks, master
election, group membership, and configuration.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
The focus of the community has been to lift the alpha label of the 3.5 branch.
We have solved the main remaining issue (ZOOKEEPER-2014) and we are now getting
ready to release 3.5.3, which is supposed to be the last alpha release of the
3.5 branch.
The 3.5 branch has a number of important new features,
including reconfiguration, which has been the main culprit for the stabilization
of the branch.
We have additionally been preparing a new release of our stable branch, 3.4.10.
It will include bug fixes and one contribution that improves security for
server-to-server communication.
Both these releases are very close to coming out.
We have organized a meetup at the Facebook HQ back in November.
## Health report:
There has been a good amount of activity on all lists, new contributors, and new
features proposed. There are potentially new committers currently being discussed
on the private list.

- Last committer addition was Chris Nauroth at Wed Sep 09 2015
## Releases:
- Last release was 3.4.9 on Sat Sep 03 2016
## Mailing list activity:
The activity on the dev list remained roughly constant while the activity of the
user list dropped. This is an artifact of questions now being asked on the dev list
mostly because they often involve more than just a clarification over the API. The
community has been favoring discussions on the dev list and slowly moving more
towards asking questions directly on that dev list. We don’t really make an effort
to have a clear separation between the two, although we suggest that API and use
case questions are better on the user list.

## Description:
- Apache ZooKeeper is a system for distributed coordination. It enables
distributed systems to implement a variety of primitives and mechanisms that
are critical for such systems to function, e.g., distributed locks, master
election, group membership, and configuration.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- For the last period, there are two points to highlight:
* We have had two releases, one for the 3.4 branch and another for
the 3.5. Releases of the 3.5 branch are still alpha, and the community
has been working hard to resolve the issues pending to make it stable
(GA).
* Traffic on the dev list and number of commits has increases significantly
compared to the last period. Traffic on the dev list has increased by
roughly 70% while the traffic on the commit list has increased by over
5x. Interestingly, the number of subscribers to the dev list has dropped
by 10 subscribers, which we attribute to natural churn.
## Health report:
- The activity of the mailing list had dropped in the previous reporting
periods, but it has picked up again from the current numbers. We did some
effort to bring in new contributors by mentoring interested developers
(e.g., developers who showed interest on the mailing list, developers we’ve
met offline, meetups) and reached out to former contributors to help with
closure on outstanding issues.
- We have some potential committers coming, and we are considering offering
committership to such contributors after the next upcoming release: 3.5.3.
Their contributions have been strong so far.

- user@zookeeper.apache.org:
- 1178 subscribers (up 7 in the last 3 months):
- 282 emails sent to list (267 in previous quarter)
- The dev list traffic increased quite substantially from the previous period
due to our efforts to increase the development activity. Interestingly, the
number of subscribers dropped slightly, which we attribute to natural churn
(e.g., people move on to a different project). The traffic of the user list
has increased slightly, but not as much compared to the increase of the dev
list. We have been getting the same rate of questions compared to the last
period.

ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed systems. We have released an alpha version of the 3.5 branch on Aug. 06, 2014. This release includes important features such as reconfiguration. It fixes a significant number of bugs and includes smaller improvements both in the server and client. The community is now focusing on the stability of the branch. There is also ongoing work to introduce SSL support. This is a feature that has been long awaited.

ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed systems. Trunk is still under development for an eventual 3.5.0 release. A couple of important improvements on the way for 3.5.0: - One important new feature in 3.5.0 will be the ability to reconfigure a ZooKeeper ensemble. This feature was discussed a long time in ZOOKEEPER-107 and we have converged and committed it; - We are also focusing on a number of improvements over the code that performs recovery. In particular, we are targeting an implementation that avoids sending and taking unnecessary snapshots, which reduces time to recover in the presence of crashes. Also, the release is supposed to address scalability, jdk7 and openjdk support, maven build/rel, testing and audit logging.

ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed applications. Trunk is under development for an eventual 3.5.0 release. A couple of important improvements on the way for 3.5.0: - One important new feature in 3.5.0 will be the ability to reconfigure a ZooKeeper ensemble. This feature was discussed a long time in ZOOKEEPER-107 and we have finally converged and committed it; - We are also focusing on a number of improvements over the code that performs recovery. In particular, we are targeting an implementation that avoids sending and taking unnecessary snapshots, which reduces time to recover in the presence of crashes. There are other various patches we are working on related code cleanup and refactoring. Note that the status of releases hasn't changed since the last board report. 3.5.0 release date is not defined yet. Our focus is on scalability, jdk7 and openjdk support, maven build/rel, testing and audit logging. A bug fix release 3.4.6 is also expected to go out, but given the low traffic of reviews and patches committed, it is unclear when it will happen. Community: Mailing list activity is moderate and the number of patch reviews and commits has dropped significantly. * 10 active committers representing 8 unique organizations. No change to the list of committers. * 9 active PMC members representing 7 unique organizations. No change to the list of committers. I'd like to note that the name of Michi Mutsuzaki still doesn't show up in the list of PMC members for the project in the committee-info.txt file. He has been voted and the board has acknowledged on May 14, 2013. * 408 subscribers on dev (up from 387 last quarter). * 866 subscribers on user (up from 816 last quarter). * 1756 jira issues have been created to date (45 more since June 2013) * Patrick Hunt has given a talk at Airbnb === Apache BookKeeper (subproject) Bookkeeper is a distributed, reliable, and high performance logging service. The project also includes Hedwig which is a highly scalable Pub/Sub service built on top of ZooKeeper and Bookkeeper with strong durability guarantees. Focus in the last quarter has been on the 4.2.2 release which at the time of writing has a release candidate under consideration. 4.2.2 is a mostly a bugfix release, though we have also exposed some new administrative functionality. Release 4.3.0 is still being worked on, though scope may be reduced to allow for a more regular release cycle. Infrastructure issues: No issues. Graduation: The community overall feels that we should consider graduation after release 4.3.0. We plan to have release 4.3.0 before the end of this calendar year. Community building: The community growth has settled down and there's now a core set of people across 4 companies regularly contributing to the project.

ZooKeeper status report for December 2011. ZooKeeper is a reliable coordination service for distributed applications. There were two new releases in the last quarter; 3.3.4 and 3.4.0. 3.3.4 is a fix release while version 3.4.0 includes a number of new features and is under active development (3.4.1 is expected soon). Trunk is also under development for an eventual 3.5.0 release. So far primarily code cleanup and refactoring has been applied to trunk. Camille Fournier joined the ZooKeeper PMC during the past quarter. Community: Recently the new S4 project has been accepted into the Incubator -- it is using ZooKeeper. A discussion is currently under way regarding the possibility of merging the recently open sourced "Curator" source base from Netflix. These are client implementations of ZooKeeper "recipes" (e.g. leadership election, group membership, etc...) which simplify the act of using ZooKeeper in client side applications. The authors of Curator are unwilling to join the incubator, this is based on their past experience as well as some of the ongoing issues they are seeing wrt projects entering the incubator. They have expressed a preference to come in either as a subproject or as a separate release artifact of the TLP. A public meetup has been discussed for January and is currently being debated/planned on the ZooKeeper developer's list. Mailing list activity continues to be high and we are seeing more contributor activity than we've seen in past quarters. * 8 active committers representing 4 unique organizations * 7 active PMC members representing 4 unique organizations * 276 subscribers on dev (up from 255 last quarter) * 551 subscribers on user (up from 504 last quarter) BOOKKEEPER (ZooKeeper subproject) BookKeeper status report for December 2011.
