Ananth commented on APEXCORE-576:
---------------------------------
If we were to model something along the lines of "Spark packages", I am afraid
that the story of Apex being a "rich ecosystem" might be diluted.
Today I see Malhar as a strong reason to convince someone that we can
interconnect many things as part of the offering. The moment we put a layered
process, my only concern is that the review process would be very very loose
and hence lower quality creeping in as Apex committers need not necessarily
review such packages and hence provide inputs to the evolving Apex core etc.
There is a risk that things might diverge more than we want them to ?
Thoughts ?
> Apex/Malhar Extensions
> ----------------------
>
> Key: APEXCORE-576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-576
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Website
> Reporter: Chinmay Kolhatkar
>
> The purpose of this task is to provide a way to external contributors to make
> better contributions to Apache Apex project.
> The idea looks something like this:
> 1. One could have extension to apex core/malhar in their own repository and
> just register itself with Apache Apex.
> 2. As it matures and find more and more use we can consume that in mainstream
> releases.
> 3. Some possibilities of of Apex extensions are as follows:
> a. Operators - DataSources, DataDestinations, Parsers, Formatters,
> Processing etc.
> b. Apex Engine Plugables
> c. External Integrations
> d. Integration with other platform like Machine learning, Graph engines
> etc.
> e. Application which are ready to use.
> d. Apex related tools which can ease the development and usage of apex.
> The initial discussion about this has happened here:
> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3d6ca2b46c53df77f37f54d64e18607a623c5a54f439e1afebfbef35@%3Cdev.apex.apache.org%3E
> More concrete discussion/implementation proposal required for this task to
> progress.
