AsterixDB
Apache AsterixDB is a scalable big data management system (BDMS) that
provides storage, management, and query capabilities for large
collections of semi-structured data.
AsterixDB has been incubating since 2015-02-28.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
Do an Apache release that can also provide binary artifacts with
correct LICENSEs and NOTICEs.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The discussion on the use of an external Gerrit instance for code
reviews is considered to be resolved.
The current workflow ensures that
a) The ASF git repository is the canonical repository for the project.
b) Only committers can manually commit changes to the ASF git
repository.
c) All discussions on the Gerrit instance are sent to
[email protected].
While it would be good to also have the Gerrit instance run on ASF
hardware, this is neither necessary to document the provenance of the
code nor to enable list members to follow and participate in the
activities of the project. Also, there seems to be no infra capacity
to provide a Gerrit service.
How has the community developed since the last report?
- A paper on AsterixDB was presented at VLDB'15.
- A deep-dive introduction to AsterixDB was given at the first
workshop on Big Data Open Source Systems (BOSS'15).
- Chris Hillery was added as a committer on Oct 20.
- Increased traffic on the users list.
How has the project developed since the last report?
- All Google Code issues were migrated to the ASF JIRA and triaged.
- The discussion on the use of an external Gerrit instance for code
reviews is considered to be resolved.
- AsterixDB 0.8.7 and the associated Hyracks 0.2.16 were released.
