Report from the Apache Tez committee [Hitesh Shah] ## Description: Apache Tez is an effort to develop a generic application framework which can be used to process arbitrarily complex directed-acyclic graphs (DAGs) of data-processing tasks and also a re-usable set of data-processing primitives which can be used by other projects. ## Activity: There is general momentum within the community to continue to fix issues as well as make performance improvements for the 0.6 and 0.7 maintenance lines as well as the mainline master branch. The main master branch had a recent alpha release for the 3rd-party plugins work from TEZ-2003 and work continues on that to stabilize the feature/APIs for a future alpha/beta release. In addition, there were enhancements for the UI to support a more dynamic version with live updates to track the progress of Tez DAGs. ## Health report: The community is quite healthy. There have been 2 releases in the past quarter. The user@ list is active with questions raised by various users and generally prompt replies from the contributor community. Bikas Saha will be giving a talk on Tez at ApacheCon Europe in the Big Data track. ## Issues: There are no issues that require the Board’s attention at this time. ## LDAP committee group/Committership changes: - Currently 34 committers and 32 LDAP committee group members. - No new LDAP committee group members added in the last 3 months - Last LDAP committee group addition was Jeff Zhang at Mon Jun 01 2015 - No new committers added in the last 3 months - Last committer addition was Sreenath at Wed May 13 2015 ## Releases: - 0.6.2 was released on Thu Aug 06 2015 - 0.8.0-alpha was released on Tue Sep 01 2015 ## Mailing list activity: - [email protected]: - 152 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months): - 230 emails sent to list (289 in previous quarter) - [email protected]: - 56 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months): - 3033 emails sent to list (4634 in previous quarter) - [email protected]: - 178 subscribers (up 8 in the last 3 months): - 245 emails sent to list (278 in previous quarter) ## JIRA activity: - 280 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 161 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
