Re: [VOTE] accept Etch into the Incubator

2008-08-25 Thread Yonik Seeley
 and
development of an Etch community. At this time, Etch is a core
component of shipping Cisco products and is likely to grow over time.
Cisco in interested in investing time to support Etch development and
use it as a key component in multiple products. It is also expected
that non-Cisco developers will become interested in Etch.

=== Relationships with Other Apache Products ===

Etch currently depends upon these other Apache projects: Velocity,
Maven and Ant.

We expect that as Etch becomes available, it will be seen as a very
compelling technology and others will begin to depend upon it.

=== A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===

We believe Etch offers much to the Apache brand. We could easily, with
the backing of Cisco, take a more independent route and support Etch
directly without the Apache foundation. But after much consideration,
we truly believe that would be the wrong approach for this technology.

As a technology, we believe Etch is very much a kindred spirit of the
other software infrastructure technologies currently part of the
Apache community: Ant, Velocity, Derby, and others. The technological
niche of Etch--platform and language agnostic service definition and
binding-is a technology that can be appreciated across a broad range
software domains.

It is our view that Apache is simply the most appropriate community
for the kind of technology Etch represents.

== Documentation ==

Public documents are available. All documentation can be found here
http://developer.cisco.com/web/cuae/etch .

== Initial Source ==

Etch has been in development at Cisco since Jan-2007. The system was
designed from the beginning to be open-sourced.  We consider Etch to
be at release 1.0 and ready for production use.

We continue to develop on Etch aggressively and a continually adding
tests and documentation to accompany the code, in particular around
Etch's unique pluggable architecture.

The compiler and language bindings for Java and C# are working and
functional. Etch will be included in shipping Cisco products in
Sept-2008 as a core technology component.

The language bindings for JavaScript, Python and C are in development.
The Etch development home page is currently hosted a Cisco's developer
portal: http://developer.cisco.com/web/cuae/etch . Full source and
binary distributions are available there including access to our
public subversion repository.

== Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan ==

Apache would receive all source and documentation under the Apache
Corporate Contributor agreement. Cisco is the only license holder.

== External Dependencies ==

Java, JavaCC and Velocity are core dependencies of the compiler. The
Java language binding depends only on Java.

Ant and Maven are used by the build system.

For the other language bindings we have the following compile/link dependencies:

C# - Microsoft .NET v2.0 (Mono compatibility coming soon)

== Cryptography ==

Etch uses the native capabilities of Java and C# to support TLS as an
option for the default Etch binary transport protocol.

== Required Resources ==

=== Mailing Lists ===

 * etch-private
 * etch-dev
 * etch-commits
 * etch-user

=== Subversion Directory ===

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/etch

=== Issue Tracking ===

 JIRA : Etch (ETCH)

=== Other Resources ===

 None

== Initial Committers ==

It was suggested that the committer list be trimmed to those who will

 Others can gain committership along the way if they are active - but
 starting with 14 people form the same organization sounds like a high

The catch is that you're using an old version of Java Lucene, before

been changed in lucene-java.

Perhaps use a script to change them all after you do the Java-C# conversion.

This is an extremely fine line to walk, so you must be prepared to be

All decisions need to happen on the list, or it is as if the decision
didn't occur.


To facilitate this, how about coming up with something users would be
encouraged to cut-n-paste at the top of irc logs or other non-list
summaries?

Something to the effect of
These discussions happened outside the official dev mailing list and
are still open for discussion.  Feedback and further discussion is
welcomed.

It's normal for people to work up prototypes/designs on their own and
present something to the dev list. If people want to work in a
real-time collaborative manner on either code or discussions instead,
it would seem beneficial to not discourage it too heavily.
Collaborative development tools are just going to get better over time

wasn't clear what to do in the case of a new project in the incubator.

Shall I send the email to root? Or do I need a PMC to do so?
What is the relevant PMC... Lucene or the Incubator?  (Solr is going
to be a sub-project of Lucene on incubation).

Re: [VOTE] accept Solr into incubator

 One other question to help narrow the project's scope a little: Is the
 'search server' written entirely from scratch or is it using servlets or
 some other Java HTTP container?

Solr is currently implemented as a webapp for a servlet container.
A servlet handles update and query requests (XML in an HTTP post for
updates, and HTTP-GET for queries)
The admin interface consists of JSPs and HTML.
The replication part external to the JVM currently relies on shell
scripts, rsync, and unix style hard links.

 The answer to the question matters little, but I'd like this stated up
 front so that it's clear for everyone where Solr's boundaries are.

Is there some additional verbiage you would like added to the proposal?

   (a) you should identify the additional ASF folks,

   them from the proposal?

I didn't list any mentors myself on the proposal because it looked
like that authority rested with the sponsor (in this case the Lucene
PMC).

[PROPOSAL] Solr

2006-01-03 Thread Yonik Seeley
Hello Incubator PMC folks,

I would like to propose a new Apache project named Solr.
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SolrProposal
The project is being proposed as a sub-project of Lucene, and the
Lucene PMC has agreed to be the sponsor.

-Yonik


'''Proposal for new project Solr '''

Yonik Seeley -- yonik at apache dot org


'''(0) rationale'''

Solr is a search server based on Apache Lucene and focused on
full-text search, relevancy, and performance.

Some of the server features include:
   * Query and update interfaces over HTTP and XML.
   * Replication based on index snapshots and rsync.
   * A schema allowing declarative specification of fields and their
types, including specification of text analysis filter chains.
   * External configuration for Lucene parameters, stopword lists, and
synonym lists.
   * A web based admin interface with statistics and debugging.
   * An extensive caching framework for filters, queries, documents,
and user caches.
   * Plugins for customizing query handling, caching and many other
server aspects.

Solr is currently an internal CNET project, and is used to power
search and faceted browsing in a number of CNET sites.

'''(0.1) criteria'''

''Meritocracy: ''

Solr's developers are comfortable operating as a meritocracy.

''Community: ''

Establishing an active open source community will be the top priority.

''Core Developers:''

Solr starts with three committers.

''Alignment:''

Solr currently uses the following Apache projects: Ant, Lucene.

'''(0.2) warning signs'''

''Orphaned products: ''

Solr is not an orphan, use within CNET is growing rapidly.

''Inexperience with open source:''

Solr's committers are experienced with open source and have made
contributions to other open source projects.

''Homogenous developers:''

Solr's initial committers are all CNET employees since it's currently
an internal project.

''Reliance on salaried developers:''

Some committers are currently paid to make contributions to Solr.

''No ties to other Apache products:''

Solr has strong ties to Lucene.

''A fascination with the Apache brand:''

The committers respect the Apache brand and feel that Apache is the
right place to generate a strong open source community.

'''(1) scope of the subprojects'''

The scope of the project is to provide a stand-alone full-text search server.
The proposal is that this project become a sub-project of Apache Lucene.

'''(2) identify the initial source from which the subproject is to be
populated'''

CNET will donate the initial source code for this project.

'''(3) identify the ASF resources to be created '''


'''(3.1) mailing list(s) '''

 * solr-dev
 * solr-user

'''(3.2) Subversion or CVS repositories'''

 * https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/solr

'''(3.3) Jira '''

 * Solr (SOLR)

'''(4) identify the initial set of committers '''

 * Yonik Seeley, CNET (Lucene committer)
 * Bill Au, CNET
 * Chris Hostetter, CNET

'''(5) identify apache sponsoring individual '''
 * Doug Cutting, Champion
 * Lucene PMC, Sponsor
