Sorry for spaming everyone with all the JIRA creations today. I have filed all of the JIRA corresponding to the plan for JStorm merger listed here. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=61328109 The bylaws https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/docs/documentation/BYLAWS.md don't cover a vote on the direction of the project like this. They cover the merger of each pull request that would be made, but not a direction change. As such this vote is more symbolic than anything, and I would love to hear from everyone involved.
The current plan is to finish merging in features for a 1.0 release. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STORM/Storm+Release+1.0 is supposed to cover this, but I think it is missing some features others want, so please let us know if you really want to get your feature in before this happens. As such the time frame is a bit flexible but I would like to shoot for doing a storm-1.0 release before mid December. After that we would begin merging in the clojure->java transition JIRA. Once those are complete the feature freeze would be lifted and JStorm features would be merged in along with other features. Hopefully we would have a Storm 2.0 release by mid February to mid March, depending on how things go. I am +1 on this plan (if you couldn't tell) - Bobby
