STATUS
After months of effort, user space extensions or recipe feature is complete
and is planned in the upcoming release 0.11. Falcon 0.11 should be released
in early Apr.
Backlog metrics Feature has been pushed, which enables users to view the
backlogs on dashboards. Falcon Shell has been added giving shell utilities
to Falcon CLI. The upcoming 0.11 release also includes some resource
optimization fixes. Entity updates with effective time feature and feed
retention based on instance production time are being considered for the
release following 0.11.
As project activity had declined in the recent past (there has been a
uptick since the last report), the PMC is looking at ways to grow the
developer and user community. PMC discussed and agreed to adopt a uniform
and simple committer invitation criteria (as recommended by CO50), as
there were challenges and subjectivity in our earlier approach. Also
we as a project are focusing to improve documentation and promote the
project in events to invite more developers and contributors further.

ISSUES

STATUS
Work is currently underway in Falcon to support user space
extensions to easily extend various data management operations without
requiring changes to the core Falcon code. This, the project
team hopes will help encourage developers to contribute repetitive
and useful data processing & management functions for reuse.
Besides the team is also reviewing work relating to update of
Falcon entities with an effective time, essentially supporting use cases
where users can go back in time and reprocess data without submitting
newer processing entities.
Earlier, we had introduced feature in Falcon to visually monitor processing
backlog through a monitoring system.
The community of developers and their activity has come down compared
to the past, however core set of developers continue to make heavy
contributions to the project and help move forward. The project team
continues to be on the lookout for new committers to maintain sustainable
growth of software and usage.

STATUS
After a bit of delay, the much awaited Falcon 0.10 release was
made in August, with support for data import/export, cluster updates,
support for Apache Spark, server side recipe support and many more.
Besides, few critical issues reported in 0.9 were fixed as well.
Few of the older developers have been less active in recent times, so
the activity levels in general have come down a notch compared to the
past. However the project continues to attract newer contributors. We
also had a talk on Falcon at the recently concluded Fifth Elephant
Conference in Bangalore (https://s.apache.org/fifth-elephant-falcon).
We also had another talk on Falcon during this period at the GIDS
summit. (https://s.apache.org/gids-falcon).
The community is very actively discussing about baselining our API
and entity definition schema and move towards a 1.0 release. This
should allow our users to develop against 1.0 interfaces without any
risk of any syntactic or behavioral incompatibiltiies. We are hoping
to bring this out as our next release in the next 3-4 months.

features added in this release are Native scheduling - alpha version,
database import/export and further extensions to FalconUnit. The
next version is planned for release in early May 2016. Falcon
project is also participating the GSoC and sees this as an opportunity
to build some useful features while primarily focusing on building
the community further. Project moved from using review board to
github pull request model and this has been greatly helpful
in streamling the workflow. We are also in the process of moving
the falcon site to git branch from svn.

There are no issues that require board's attention at this time.
STATUS
We have been seeing buzzing activity in terms of both feature
development as well as few bug fixes over 0.6 release. Community
has agreed to make a release (0.6.1) and tentatively the release
is planned for late March, early April 2015. In the last month
(as of 7th Mar 2015) 60 new issues have been reported and 41 have
been resolved. Community syncs continue to happen and we are

STATUS
------
Falcon was accepted as a TLP in December 2014. During the last 30
days 33 new issues were created in the issue tracking system and
30 were closed during the same period. During the last month we
have witnessed good progress on the UI front for Falcon (FALCON-790).
With UI, we expect users to find it more easier to work with the
Falcon system. The community has been having regular bi-weekly
sync ups. These sync ups are being very helpful in steering the
project. Recipes (FALCON-634) and Lifecycle functions (FALCON-965)
would open up Falcon system for easy extensions and are being
actively worked upon besides other bug fixes. Community is also
discussing on mailing list on the way forward with respect to usage
of Apache Oozie for orchestration. The outcome will decide how
pipeline and lifecycle function orchestration will happen in
Falcon going forward. We also announced Falcon as a TLP in ASF
blog (http://s.apache.org/GT2)
