The Hive PMC has voted to accept HCatalog as a submodule of Hive. You can see the vote thread at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-dev/201301.mbox/%3cCACf6RrzktBYD0suZxn3Pfv8XkR=vgwszrzyb_2qvesuj2vh...@mail.gmail.com%3e . We now need to vote to graduate from the incubator and become a submodule of Hive. This entails the following:
1) the establishment of an HCatalog submodule in the Apache Hive Project; 2) the adoption of the Apache HCatalog codebase into the Hive HCatalog submodule; and 3) adding all currently active HCatalog committers as submodule committers on the Hive HCatalog submodule. Definitions for all these can be found in the (now adopted) Hive bylaws at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Proposed+Changes+to+Hive+Bylaws+for+Submodule+Committer. This vote will stay open for at least 72 hours (thus 23:00 PST on 2/7/13). PPMC members votes are binding in this vote, though input from all is welcome. If this vote passes the next step will be to submit the graduation motion to the Incubator PMC. Here's my +1. Alan.
