+1 as if the tech is still publicly available, the project can still be
alive if community/business love to use it.
At this point, I believe the project is at usable state but lack of
business support, just like Confluent with Kafka, Alibaba with Flink. I
personally wants to do this as my business as well but I am also
struggling using it in my business as the tuning the system is still
very difficult.
For the last 2 years I also seeing other open source batch/stream
processing systems are going for the same approach as well, such as
Flink is supporting stream processing, and Storm 2.0 came out, Heron
struggles to compare with these as the community is relatively smaller.
I don't blame people, we know Twitter is behind Heron in its original
idea and the very early stage, but there is no public support of the
software that makes the open source project goes without a strong one leg.
I think it is the fate of OSS, a chance that no one picks up or no one
wants to offer help at all. I will still want to offer help or work
together if someone wants to use Heron after the retirement from incubator.

Retiring a project is specific to retiring a community around the
project, not necessarily the tech. The source code will still be
available publicly [1]. Open source projects need a healthy community to
survive. At this point, I do not think that Heron has hardly any community
left.

What does it even mean to 'retire from the incubator'?? Why isn't this
project handed up to Apache open source by now? I assume the libraries/etc
will still be available if its "retired"?? Projects still use Heron - I'm
fine if no more updates but the libraries should remain available.
