Hi all - Here's a draft of our inaugural podling report. Per the usual guidelines, Impala has to submit three monthly reports to the Incubator PPMC, after which we report every quarter. The purpose of the report is to expose the current state of the graduation effort to the Incubator, and to flag any problems that require Incubator attention.
I hope this report also sheds a little light on what is needed to be done to move Impala's development in its entirety to the ASF and its infrastructure. We are looking forward to making quick progress on some of these items in 2016. If anyone has any further comments or edits they'd like to make, please respond to this thread. I am on a short timeline as I fly internationally tomorrow and will be out of contact for about ten days, so I plan to post this to the Incubator wiki tomorrow morning. Any edits can then be made there. Thanks, Henry -------------------- Impala Impala is a high-performance C++ and Java SQL query engine for data stored in Apache Hadoop-based clusters. Impala has been incubating since 2015-12-03. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Resolve any issues around use of Gerrit as code-review tool. 2. Movement of existing JIRA / Git / wiki / e-mail resources to Apache equivalents 3. Initial release as incubating project. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? Slowly - Impala is still in the very early stages of incubation, and performing the mechanical tasks of code movement and infrastructure setup is our first priority. The holiday period in the United States has slowed this effort slightly, but we look forward to picking up pace in early 2016. There have been no additions to the committer or PMC lists since incubation began. How has the project developed since the last report? We have performed some of the basic initial tasks for incubation - establishing wiki pages, Git repositories and accounts for the initial committer set. Our next steps are: 1. Finalize the SGA from Cloudera 2. Move existing @cloudera.org e-mail aliases to their @ impala.incubator.apache.org equivalents. 3. Move source code from Cloudera git repository to Apache git repo. 4. Improve out-of-box build and test experience so that community can easily evaluate release artifacts. 5. Migrate cloudera.org JIRA tickets to issues.apache.org. Date of last release: NA When were the last committers or PMC members elected? At the time of the Incubation vote, 2015-12-03.
