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. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been reasonably quiet with much less mailing list activity than the summer quarter. There has however been promising activity from a new member of the community Yasin Tamer. We are currently working on GORA_94 a branch of the trunk code which focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our legacy Avro dependencies from 1.3.3 to 1.7.5. As this is a major undertaking therefore once this is addressed we will be pushing a release candidate for 0.4. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Roland von Herget joined as PMC member and committer on Thu, 7th Mar 2013. How has the community developed since the last report? Gora again participated in this years Google Summer of Code program. Our student Apos Gianakiddis successfully completed his project and Renato Marroquin (already a member of the Gora PMC) was also successful in integrating Gora into Apache Giraph as part of his GSoC project. Mailing list numbers are as follows user: from 46 --> 49 dev: from 62 --> 60 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, Any23 & HBase (this is not an exhaustive list).
