The next release is expected to be version 3.8.0 of Apex Malhar (the library). The previous library release was 3.7.0 in March. Apex was presented at several conferences, including Apache Big Data in Miami and in June at Berlin Buzzwords and Dataworks Summit in San Jose. Apex had its one year anniversary as top level project in April; more on development of community and project can be found here: http://www.atrato.io/blog/2017/04/25/one-year-apex/ ## Community: - Currently 15 PMC members. - No new PMC member added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Chandni Singh 2016-09-07 - Currently 40 committers. - No new committer added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Devendra Tagare on 2016-08-10 - Contributors: 79 all time, 55 in last 12 months (+3, +1 since last report) ## Releases: Following are the most recent releases: - Core 3.6.0 released 2017-05-04 - Malhar 3.7.0 released 2017-03-31
Apache Apex is a distributed, large-scale, high throughput, low-latency, fault tolerant, unified stream and batch processing platform. ## Issues: There are currently no issues that require the Board's attention. ## Status/Activity: In March the community released 3.7.0 of Apex Malhar library. The release adds a number of new operators, including S3 line reader (parallel block based), S3 output for tuples and file copy, fixed length parser, Redshift output, more accumulations for the windowed operator and improvements for performance and scalability of windowed state management. The release also expands the user documentation with new sections. The community is working towards release 3.6.0 of Apex Core, which is the stream processing engine. The previous release was 3.5.0 in December. The next release will contain support for user defined control tuples, which significantly simplify batch applications and window state management with watermarks (previously to be implemented by the user in operators and application logic). Apex was presented at Strata Data conference in San Jose in March and Apex Big Data World (by DataTorrent) in April. Several Apex community members will present at Apache Big Data in Miami in May, there are also upcoming presentations at Berlin Buzzwords and Dataworks Summit in June. We continue to see increase in user interest and adaption, more info can be found on the Powered By page on the project web site. ## Community: - Currently 15 PMC members. - No new PMC member added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Chandni Singh 2016-09-07 - Currently 40 committers. - No new committer added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Devendra Tagare on 2016-08-10 - Contributors: 76 all time, 54 in last 12 months (+9, +9 since last report) ## Releases: Following are the most recent releases: - Malhar 3.7.0 released 2017-03-31 - Malhar 3.6.0 released 2016-11-26 - Core 3.5.0 released 2016-12-06
## Description: Apache Apex is a distributed, large-scale, high throughput, low-latency, fault tolerant, unified stream and batch processing platform. ## Issues: There are no issues that require the Board's attention. ## Status/Activity: In November the community released 3.6.0 of Apex Malhar library, which added the initial version of SQL support using Apache Calcite, improvements to windowed state management performance and scalability, expanded user documentation and many other improvements. In December followed the 3.5.0 release of Apex Core, which is the stream processing engine. The previous release was 3.4.0 in May and releases are generally less frequent than the library. The release contains several operability improvements and also moves the Apache Hadoop dependency from 2.2 to 2.6, enabling the engine to take advantage of newer features in Apache Hadoop YARN. Apex is now also present in Apache Beam; the first version of the Apex runner is part of the recent 0.4.0 Beam release. Another integration with Apache SAMOA (incubating) was also completed recently. Apache SAMOA is an open source platform for mining big data streams and allows multiple Distributed Stream Processing Engines (DSPEs) to be integrated into the framework. Apex was presented at Apache Big Data in Seville, at Big Data Spain in Madrid, Big Data Conference in Phoenix and also as part of the Apache Beam tutorial at Strata Singapore. We continue to see increase in interest and adoption, more info can be found on the Powered By page on the project web site. ## Community: - Currently 15 PMC members. - No new PMC member added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Chandni Singh 2016-09-07 - Currently 40 committers. - No new committer added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Devendra Tagare on 2016-08-10 - Contributors: 67 all time, 45 in last 12 months ## Releases: Following are the most recent releases: - Malhar 3.6.0 released 2016-11-26 - Malhar 3.5.0 released 2016-09-05 - Core 3.5.0 released 2016-12-06

Apex is an enterprise grade native YARN big data-in-motion platform that unifies stream processing as well as batch processing. Apex has been incubating since 2015-08-17. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Release Apex-Core, and Apex-Malhar on ongoing basis. 2. Grow contributors beyond the initial set. 3. Move to using Apache JIRA Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The project is still using the original Atlassian instance of JIRA. INFRA-10144 has tracked the Apache JIRA migration request since August. How has the community developed since the last report? The community is very engaged with the development of the project. There have been 788 messages on dev@ for October. The community has been active building meetup groups in various locations: http://s.apache.org/jKT - Number of meetups: 6 in total so far: 4 in USA cities and 2 in Indian cities - Total members in worldwide Apache Apex meetups: 495 - Events: 1 in Oct; 4 scheduled in Nov: CapitalOne presentation in Chicago; DataTorrent presentation in Pune; GE presentation in San Ramon; PubMatic presentation in San Jose; Future: Planning to start meetups in more cities, and be able to organize 2-3 events a month. How has the project developed since the last report? The first release under incubation passed voting. Apex (Core) 3.2.0-incubating was released 2015-10-30. The community is currently discussing roadmap for upcoming releases. Various metrics are as follows: +---------------------------------------------------+ | Metric | Core | Malhar | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Non Merge Commits | 159 | 39 | | Contributors | 15 | 9 | | Jira New Issues | 58 | 19 | | Resolved Issues | 34 | 30 | +---------------------------------------------------+ The next release target is Apex Malhar with release candidate expected fist week of November. Date of last release: 2015-10-30 Apex (Core) 3.2.0-incubating When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Committers and Mentors came about via incubation proposal. Signed-off-by: [X](apex) Chris Nauroth [X](apex) Alan Gates [X](apex) Hitesh Shah [X](apex) Justin Mclean [X](apex) P. Taylor Goetz [X](apex) Ted Dunning Shepherd/Mentor notes: Chris Nauroth (cnauroth): The community continues to show great, open development activity on the mailing list. The first release was handled well with careful attention to detail when IPMC members requested a second RC with some changes. I would like to request that the infra team prioritize completion of the JIRA migration tracked in INFRA-10144. Alan Gates (gates): There have been some questions regarding which committers in the project are also on the PPMC. Originally only 6 developers were proposed for initial committers, but as part of the entry to incubation this was expanded to the current 30+. The understanding of some in the project was that the PPMC still only consisted of those original 6, while the other ~24 devs were just committers. The mentors have explained that it does not work this way. The community is talking through how to approach this disconnect. The mail thread is at <http://s.apache.org/qsV>.
Apex is an enterprise grade native YARN big data-in-motion platform that unifies stream processing as well as batch processing. Apex has been incubating since 2015-08-17. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Release Apex-Core, and Apex-Malhar at least twice. 2. Grow contributors beyond the initial set. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. Thanks for continual support. How has the community developed since the last report?
