Hi Incubator

Please consider accepting the new project proposal.

EasyScheduler is a distributed ETL scheduling engine with powerful DAG
visualization interface. EasyScheduler focuses on solving the problem of
'complex task dependencies & triggers' in the data processing. Just like
its name, we dedicated to making the scheduling system out of the box.

Lidong Dai w/ his community team and Shaofeng Shi(IPMC) reached out to me
recently, and asked me to Champion and mentor the project.
The whole project team is willing to join the incubator, learn/follow the
Apache Way, and build widely community.
In this project, we have 3 mentors(IPMC members)
- Sheng Wu, was in the whole SkyWalking incubator journey from day 1, right
now as SkyWalking VP and PMC, also am a part of ShardingSphere PPMC
- Shaofeng Shi, Kylin PMC member
- Liang Chen, CarbonData V.P. and PMC member, was in the whole CarbonData
incubator journey from day 1.

This is my first time to be an official Champion, we are welcome other
experienced IPMC members to mentor the project.

The proposal has been posted in Incubator WIKI[1] and as following

Abstract

EasyScheduler is a distributed ETL scheduling engine with powerful DAG
visualization interface. EasyScheduler focuses on solving the problem of
'complex task dependencies & triggers' in data processing. Just like its
name, we dedicated to making the scheduling system out of the box.
Proposal

EasyScheduler provides many easy-to-use features to accelerate the
engineering efficiency on data ETL workflow job. We propose a new concept
of 'instance of process' and 'instance of task' to let developers to tuning
their jobs on the running state of workflow instead of changing the task's
template. Its main objectives are as follows:

   - Define the complex tasks' dependencies & triggers in a DAG graph by
   dragging and dropping.
   - Support cluster HA.
   - Support multi-tenant and parallel or serial backfilling data.
   - Support automatical failure job retry and recovery.
   - Support many data task types and process priority, task priority and
   relative task timeout alarm.

For now, EasyScheduler has a fairly huge community in China. It is also
widely adopted by many companies and organizations
<https://github.com/analysys/EasyScheduler/issues/57> as its ETL scheduling
tool.

We believe that bringing EasyScheduler into ASF could advance development
of a much more stronger and more diverse open source community.

Analysys submits this proposal to donate EasyScheduler's source codes and
all related documentations to Apache Software Foundation. The codes are
already under Apache License Version 2.0.

   - Code base: https://www.github.com/analysys/easyscheduler
   - English Documentations: https://analysys.github.io/easyscheduler_docs
   - Chinese Documentations:
   https://analysys.github.io/easyscheduler_docs_cn

Background

We want to find a data processing tool with the following features:

   - Easy to use,developers can build a ETL process with a very simple drag
   and drop operation. not only for ETL developers,people who can't write code
   also can use this tool for ETL operation such as system adminitrator.
   - Solving the problem of "complex task dependencies" , and it can
   monitor the ETL running status.
   - Support multi-tenant.
   - Support many task types: Shell, MR, Spark, SQL (mysql, postgresql,
   hive, sparksql), Python, Sub_Process, Procedure, etc.
   - Support HA and linear scalability.

For the above reasons, we realized that no existing product met our
requirements, so we decided to develop this tool ourselves. We designed
EasyScheduler at the end of 2017. The first internal use version was
completed in May 2018. We then iterated several internal versions and the
system gradually became stabilized.

Then we open the source code of EasyScheduler on March 2019. It soon gained
lot's of ETL developers interest and stars on github.
Rationale

Many organizations (>30) (refer to Who is using EasyScheduler
<https://github.com/analysys/EasyScheduler/issues/57> ) already benefit
from running EasyScheduler to make data process pipelines more easier. More
than 100 feature ideas
<https://github.com/analysys/EasyScheduler/projects/1> come from
EasyScheduler community. Some 3rd-party projects also plan to integrate
with EasyScheduler through task plugin, such as Scriptis
<https://github.com/WeBankFinTech/Scriptis>, waterdrop
<https://github.com/InterestingLab/waterdrop>. These will strengthen the
features of EasyScheduler.
Current StatusMeritocracy

EasyScheduler was incubated at Analysys in 2017 and open sourced on GitHub
in March 2019. Once open sourced, we have been quickly adopted by multiple
organizations,EasyScheduler has contributors and users from many companies;
we have set up the Committer Team. New contributors are guided and reviewed
by existed committer members. Contributions are always welcomed and highly
valued.
Community

Now we have set development teams for EasyScheduler in Analysys, and we
already have external developers who contributed the code. We already have
a user group of more than 1,000 people. We hope to grow the base of
contributors by inviting all those who offer contributions through The
Apache Way. Right now, we make use of github as code hosting as well as
gitter for community communication.
Core Developers

The core developers, including experienced senior developers, are often
guided by mentors.
Known RisksOrphaned products

EasyScheduler is widely adopted in China by many companies and organizations
<https://github.com/analysys/EasyScheduler/issues/57>. The core developers
of EasyScheduler team plan to work full time on this project. Currently
there are 10 use cases with more that 1000 activity tasks per day using
EasyScheduler in the user's production environment. There is very little
risk of EasyScheduler getting orphaned as at least two large companies
(xueqiu、fengjr) are widely using it in their production, and developers
from these companies have also joined Easy Scheduler's team of
contributors, EasyScheduler has eight major releases so far, and and
received 373 pull requests from contributors, which further demonstrates
EasyScheduler as a very active project. We also plan to extend and
diversify this community further through Apache.

Thus, it is very unlikely that EasyScheduler becomes orphaned.
Inexperience with Open Source

EasyScheduler's core developers have been running it as a
community-oriented open source project for some time, several of them
already have experience working with open source communities, they are also
active in presto, alluxio and other projects. At the same time, we will
learn more open source experiences by following the Apache way in our
incubator journey.
Homogenous Developers

The current developers work across a variety of organizations including
Analysys, guandata and hydee; some individual developers are accepted as
developers of EasyScheduler as well. Considering that fengjr and sefonsoft
have shown great interests in EasyScheduler, we plan to encourage them to
contribute and invite them as contributors to work together.
Reliance on Salaried Developers

At present, eight of the core developers are paid by their employer to
contribute to EasyScheduler project. we also have some other developers and
researchers taking part in the project, and we will make efforts to
increase the diversity of the contributors and actively lobby for Domain
experts in the workflow space to contribute.
Relationships with Other Apache Products

EasyScheduler integrates Apache Zookeeper as one of the service
registration/discovery mechanisms. EasyScheduler is deeply integrated with
Apache products. It currently support many task types like Apache Hive,
Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, and so on
A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

We recognize the value and reputation that the Apache brand will bring to
EasyScheduler. However, we prefer that the community provided by the Apache
Software Foundation will enable the project to achieve long-term stable
development. so EasyScheduler is proposing to enter incubation at Apache in
order to help efforts to diversify the community, not so much to capitalize
on the Apache brand.
Documentation

A complete set of EasyScheduler documentations is provided on github in
both English and Simplified Chinese.

   - English <https://github.com/analysys/easyscheduler_docs>
   - Chinese <https://github.com/analysys/easyscheduler_docs_cn>

Initial Source

Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan

As soon as EasyScheduler is approved to join Apache Incubator, Analysys
will provide the Software Grant Agreement(SGA) and intial committers will
submit ICLA(s). The code is already licensed under the Apache Software
License, version 2.0.


External Dependencies

As all backend code dependencies are managed using Apache Maven, none of
the external libraries need to be packaged in a source distribution.

Most of dependencies have Apache compatible licenses,and the detail as
