Re: Podling Report Reminder - November 2017

[Jim Apple]

Please review:

Impala is a high-performance C++ and Java SQL query engine for data stored
in
Apache Hadoop-based clusters.

Impala has been incubating since 2015-12-03.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  Our graduation proposal is in the works.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

 No

How has the community developed since the last report?

 There have been 279 Commits:
   git log --format='%ci' | grep -cE '2017-(08|09|10)'

 62 of those commits were by non-committers:
   git log --format='%an %ci' | grep -E '2017-(08|09|10)' | tr -d '0-9\-' |
cut -d ' ' -f -2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Of the 37 patch authors, 16 were not committers at the beginning of this
reporting period.

 There are three new committers members and one new PPMC member:

Impala has done a fourth release with a third release manager.

Impala has begun graduation procedures: we have held a community discussion
and a community vote on graduation, both unanimous. We have established our
intended PMC. Next, we will draft our charter and hold a discussion on
general@incubator.

How has the project developed since the last report?

Impala has removed the old unpartitioned hash and aggregation nodes, relics
from years ago that were kept around for backwards compatibility: the new
buffer management makes these obsolete. Code generation for decimal and
timestamp types has been added to the text scanner, increasing the
performance of some queries by up to 19%. More robust query plans in case
of data skew have made some aggregations eight times as fast. A number of
large changes are in-flight, including changes to equivalence class
computation in the planner, more decimal semantics adjustments, min-max
filters for Kudu, and multi-threaded metadata loading that increases the
performance of some metadata operations by 8x.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Podling Report Reminder - November 2017

[johndament]

Dear podling,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to
prepare your quarterly board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 15 November 2017, 10:30 am PDT.
The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC
report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks
before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and
submission (Wed, November 01).

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the Incubator
PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the
very latest you should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board
meeting.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report

--

Your report should contain the following:

*   Your project name
*   A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of
the project or necessarily of its field
*   A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.
*   Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of
*   How has the community developed since the last report
*   How has the project developed since the last report.
*   How does the podling rate their own maturity.

This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/November2017

Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before
this page is created from a template.

Mentors

Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on
the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are
following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms
for the Incubator PMC.
