Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Apache Falcon is now retired
Announcing that the Apache Falcon committers have voted to retire the project due to inactivity. Falcon was a data processing and management solution for Hadoop designed for data motion, coordination of data pipelines, lifecycle management, and data discovery. Falcon enabled end consumers to quickly onboard their data and its associated processing and management tasks on Hadoop clusters. Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and retain access to the necessary information for their own development efforts. You can read more about Falcon's retirement at: http://attic.apache.org/projects/falcon.html The user mailing list remains open, while the rest of the project's resources will continue to be available in a read-only state - website, wikis, svn, downloads and bug tracker with no change in url. Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic, and you can read more about that at: http://attic.apache.org/ Thanks, Hervé on behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Apache Falcon project
