thanks! --larry ++++ # Description The Apache Knox Gateway is a REST API Gateway for interacting with Apache Hadoop clusters. The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for all REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters. # Issues None # Status The Apache Knox team released 0.12.0 was release on Mar 20th with some great enhancements and new features, some of the highlights are: * Proxy support for Solr UI and API * Proxy support for Gremlin REST API * KnoxToken API for acquiring a Knox Access Token * Proxy support for Zeppelin UI through Knox * New release module for KnoxShell * YARN RM HA implementation for REST API and UI * Support for pluggable validator for Header pre authentication provider We have continued to use the KIP-# pages to drive the primary focus of each release and feel it is working well. The 0.12.0 release was primarily focused on the client library and programming model for consuming REST APIs through Knox. There had been an increasing uptake of this library and it had become clear that it needed to mature. We have begun discussing what needs to land in 0.13.0 and what the strategy is for a 1.0.0 release in this timeframe. KIPs have been created for security improvements, port-mapping for simplified URLs and refactoring for package renaming. The current level of collaboration is healthy and encouraging within the community on both mailing lists and JIRAs. # Releases * 0.12.0: 2016-03-20 Added support for new APIs and UIs, KnoxToken API, release module for KnoxShell, and fixed a number of bugs - through ~35 commits. # Development Activity * Community is working toward the 0.13.0 goals and a possible 1.0.0 release which will continue to use KIPs to drive the release themes * Jira: 933 total, +14 -3 (last 30 days) * Git (Source): 10 commits over last 30 days * SVN (Site & Docs): 2 commits over last 30 days # Community Activity ## Membership Changes * Sandeep More was added as a committer and PMC member on 1/20/2017. * We continue to see a growth in contributions from the community and remain on the lookout for new committer candidates to emerge. ## Mailing List Activity * user@knox: ~50 messages over last 30 days * dev@knox: ~500 messages over last 30 days (inflated due to jenkins emails)
