## Description: Apache REEF, or Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework, is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. For example, Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics is built on REEF and Hadoop. ## Issues: In the last quarter we've published the final release of Apache REEF v0.16.1. In June 2022 we have voted to archive the project and move it to Apache Attic. ## Membership Data: Apache REEF was founded 2015-11-17 (7 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 22 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Doug Service on 2017-09-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Scott Inglis on 2018-09-27. ## Project Activity: We've just held an official vote to sunset the project and move it to Apache Attic. The vote had passed unanimously with 6 +1s and no 0s or -1s. I am in the process of archiving the project and updating the web site and the documentation. We expect the project to be closed by the end of this quarter. ## Community Health: We have a great network of REEF alumni, but none of us has been working on REEF in the past year.
@Sam: follow up on attic resolution

## Description: Apache REEF, or Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework, is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. For example, Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics is built on REEF and Hadoop. ## Issues: All new development of the project has been stopped and we have decided to sunset the project. I am in the process of signing and publishing a farewell release 0.16.1 now. After that we will start the process of moving the project to the attic. ## Membership Data: Apache REEF was founded 2015-11-17 (6 years ago) There are currently 35 committers and 22 PMC members in this project.

Our community currently has 35 committers and 22 PMC members. Last PMC member joined was Doug Service on 2017-09-28. Last committer joined was Scott Inglis on 2018-09-27. ## Project Activity: There was one issue opened and closed, and one PR closed in the last quarter. PMC members had discussed the future of the project, and decided that 0.16.1 will be our last release. Following the release, we will start retiring the project and moving it to the attic. We don't plan any major changes in the API or the functionality and will focus on maintaining the 0.16.1 branch and archiving the project. ## Community Health: The project is stable, bud does not have much community or industry support. We are finishing our work on publishing the long-term stable release 0.16.1 and will be retiring the project.
## Description: Apache REEF, or Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework, is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. For example, Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics is built on REEF and Hadoop. ## Issues: We've just started the discussion about the future of the project. After finishing the long-term release 0.16.1, we will hold a vote to elect a new PMC Chair, and/or start the process of graceful retirement of the project and moving it to the attic. ## Membership Data: We have not had new PMC members or committers since 2018. Our community currently has 35 committers and 22 PMC members. Last PMC member joined was Doug Service on 2017-09-28. Last committer joined was Scott Inglis on 2018-09-27. ## Project Activity: Last quarter have been quite slow for REEF; we've got only two issues opened and received only one PR. We are in the process of signing and issuing the long-term stable release 0.16.1. Following the release, we will hold a vote and make a decision about the future of the project. If we have enough volunteers to lead the effort, we will start a large experimental release of REEF 0.17 that will include a new elastic group communication functionality (currently in a pull request, approved for merge immediately after the 0.16.1 release). Otherwise, we'll consider retiring the project and moving it to the attic. Other than that, we don't plan any major changes in the API or the functionality and will focus on maintaining the 0.16.1 branch. ## Community Health: The project is stable, but the user and developer engagement has been quite low lately. There was only one new PR and two issues opened or closed this quarter. We've just started the discussion about the project's future on the mailing list. Either way, we are finishing our work on publishing the long-term stable release 0.16.1 and will vote on the new release in May 2021.
## Description: Apache REEF, or Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework, is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. For example, Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics is built on REEF and Hadoop. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: We have not had new PMC members or committers since 2018. Our community currently has 35 committers and 22 PMC members. Last PMC member joined was Doug Service on 2017-09-28. Last committer joined was Scott Inglis on 2018-09-27. ## Project Activity: We are currently testing the long-term stable release v. 0.16.1. We plan to vote on the new release soon and publish Maven and Nuget packages by the end of February 2021. Following REEF 0.16.1, we will start a large experimental release of REEF 0.17 that will include a new elastic group communication functionality (currently in a pull request, approved for merge immediately after the 0.16.1 release). Other than that, we don't plan any major changes in the API or the functionality and will focus on maintaining the 0.16.1 branch. ## Community Health: The project is stable, and there were no new PRs or issues opened or closed this quarter. There was no significant activity on the mailing list, either. We are finishing our work on publishing the long-term stable release 0.16.1 and will vote on the new release in February 2021.
## Description: Apache REEF, or Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework, is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. For example, Microsoft Azure Stream Analytics is built on REEF and Hadoop. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache REEF was founded in November 2015 (5 years ago). There are currently 35 committers and 22 PMC members in this project. The core developers' community is pretty stable, and we have not had any new committers or PMC members since 2018. ## Project Activity: we've finished a major overhaul of the project's dependencies this Summer. That update had introduced some bugs that had blocked the release planned for this quarter. We've fixed the issues recently and are about to issue a new long-term stable release of REEF 0.16.1 in November. Following REEF 0.16.1, we will start a large experimental release of REEF 0.17 that will include a new elastic group communication functionality (currently in a pull request, approved for merge immediately after the 0.16.1 release). Other than that, we don't plan for any major changes in the API or the functionality and will focus on maintaining our 0.16.1 branch. ## Community Health: This quarter has been slow. We've completed most of the code updates in the previous quarter, and this quarter was mostly for testing and bug fixing. In all, we had with 1 PR opened and closed, and one commit merged into the master. There were 9 emails in the dev mailing list. We plan to keep the project stable and available to the public and don't expect much new activity in the main branch after the 0.16.1 release. We will continue our experimental work on the elastic group communication, though.

## Community Health:
The engagement from the community has been declining perhaps because the
codebase has been stable, although there is some splash of new activity on
release 0.16.1 this quarter. We expect more engagement from existing members
once we start working on the elastic group communications for the next
release.

## Description: Apache REEF (Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework) is a library for developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as Apache Hadoop YARN or Apache Mesos. ## Issues: No issues require the board's activity at this time. ## Activity: - REEF 0.15 was released in the report period. It contains significant improvements to REEF.NET - We've seen a significant uptick in the interest in and work towards a fully functional REEF.NET on Linux - Twitter released their new streaming platform Heron in version 0.14. In this version, it can be run on Apache Hadoop YARN via a scheduler implemented in REEF. ## Health report: Overall, the community is healthy: We've seen several new people introduce themselves on the dev list, and many of them have started contributing already. Activity has been down a little bit, which seems to be due to the summer vacation schedule of our community. This also caused us to slip on the post- graduation cleanup of our PMC membership we asked about in the last report. ## PMC changes: - Currently 21 PMC members. - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months - Last PMC addition was Andrew Chung on Tue Nov 17 2015 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 33 committers. - Carlo Curino was added as a committer on Tue Jun 07 2016 ## Releases: - 0.15 was released on Sun May 22 2016 ## Mailing list activity: - dev@reef.apache.org: - 69 subscribers (up 18 in the last 3 months): - 1558 emails sent to list (2150 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 135 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 103 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
## Description:
Apache REEF (Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework) is a library for
developing portable applications for cluster resource managers such as

## Issues:
We noticed a glitch in the transition from podling to tlp: some of our PMC
members didn't make it to the TLP's PMC. The seems like a clerical error.
We plan on addressing it by holding a single vote to move them all to the
TLP PMC. Please let us know if we should instead hold individual votes.
## Activity:
- The team is hard at work producing the next release, our second as a TLP.
This release will focus on more cleanups of the .NET code as well as
crucial bug fixes our users require.
- We are hosting a Google Summer of Code student.
- Apache REEF was presented at ApacheCon Big Data.
- There was a good discussion on the mailing list about sharpening the one-
sentence description of REEF. The result of that work is found above :)
- We now have continuous builds and tests for all our code, Java and .NET.

The podling seems to be doing well despite low mentor participation (0
out of 4 mentors active on dev@ list for this reporting period; 1 of 4
mentors participating in REEF's first release threads).
REEF (Retainable Evaluator Execution Framework) is a scale-out computing fabric that eases the development of Big Data applications on top of resource managers such as Apache YARN and Mesos. REEF has been incubating since 2014-08-12. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Update the existing project web site and figure out how to transfer it to the ASF infrastructure. (REEF-4) 2. Update the license-related documentation to be match ASF standards (REEF-16) 3. Do a first Apache release (after 2) Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? How has the community developed since the last report? * We have received our first contributions via pull requests on GitHub How has the project developed since the last report? * The Microsoft code base has been moved to ASF infrastructure * All maven artifacts and java package names have been moved to the org.apache.reef namespace Date of last release: None yet When were the last committers or PMC members elected? None yet Signed-off-by: [X](reef) Chris Douglas [ ](reef) Chris Mattmann [ ](reef) Ross Gardler [ ](reef) Owen O'Malley
