It also includes an +optional SQL parser and JDBC driver. + +Calcite joined Apache as an incubator project in May, 2014. To +graduate from the incubator, projects have to prove that they can +create high quality releases, form a diverse community, and operate as +a meritocracy. + +Calcite's committers have delivered eight releases during incubation +(roughly one every two months) including the +[milestone 1.0 release in January, 2015]({{ site.baseurl }}/news/2015/01/31/release-1.0.0-incubating/). + +The project has become a key component in many high-performance +databases, including the +[Apache Drill](http://drill.apache.org), +[Apache Hive](http://hive.apache.org), +[Apache Kylin](http://kylin.apache.org) and +[Apache Phoenix](http://phoenix.apache.org) open source projects, +and several commercial products. + +Also, in collaboration with [Apache Samza](http://samza.apache.org) and +[Apache Storm](http://storm.apache.org), Calcite is developing +[streaming extensions to standard SQL]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/stream.html). + +The Calcite community met at a hangout on October 27th, 2015, and +celebrated with a graduation cake. http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/calcite/blob/d02305ea/site/img/cake.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/site/img/cake.jpg b/site/img/cake.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..af370c6 Binary files /dev/null and b/site/img/cake.jpg differ
