Attachment S: Report from the Apache Gora Project [Lewis John McGibbney] The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support.
Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.3) was on 8th May 2013. A number of issues have been included within a 0.4 roadmap which we are working towards. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been steady. Mailing list activity has followed usual trends, however our dev list saw the second highest ever level of traffic during the month of July. We moved to Apache CMS for our website and documentation so more adhoc commits have been made since the last reporting period. Since the last release >11 issues have been resolved, some of these major in scope. We have also seen some new community members posting code to our Jira instance which is great. We hope to integrate this in to trunk for 0.4 release. How has the community developed since the last report? Gora was presented at this years CassandraSummit in SFO during June. We were successful in being awarded two places for this years Google Summer of Code program. Mid Term reporting has just taken place and one project will be continuing. Mailing list numbers have increased to user:46 dev:62 Changes to PMC & Committers Nothing to report. PMC and Committer diversity We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr & Hadoop (this is not an exhaustive list).
