Re: [VOTE] Graduation of Apache DeviceMap from the incubator

2014-11-06 Thread Reza
Of course, discussion is more than welcomed.
 Seems a little weird to have such a small team to begin with.  How have you 
grown?
This is a concern of the project. The PMC is indeed small. More than half of 
the original group has not participated in the last year and have not voiced 
that they would like to continue on with the project, leaving us with the group 
listed in the resolution. I do not know why these people decided not to 
continue their participation, but I can assure you that the remaining members 
are fully committed to continuing on with the project and we hope to recruit 
future members. Graduating will be a big accomplishment for this project and 
may give this project more visibility and growth.
Also, on another note, I did not give the vote a deadline. If this list wishes 
to continue a vote, it will be open for 72 hours from my original email. I will 
close the vote Nov 8th at noon EST.

I for sure understand and share the concern. One of the reasons for a
project to show it can grow a community.

The project seems to have a fine technical base, but the lack of community
growth is a major concern for me. Would it not be wise to postpone the
graduation, and get the community to grow first ?

Why do you think graduating will give growth or even more visibility ?

As Reza says, only two of the initial committers listed at [1] are
part of the upcoming PMC, so one could argue that the community has
rebuilt itself during incubation, which is a good sign for the future
of the project.

That being said, I agree that a PMC with five members is really small,

remain small, and I don't see how staying in the Incubator would help
it grow more than graduating. That's why, as a DeviceMap mentor, I

I don't have enough knowledge of DeviceMap to have much opinion. Going
by the book 
(http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Minimum+Graduation+Requirements)
at least 3 committers, presumably active, are as required as anything
can be said to be.

There were 12 committers proposed at the outset, 10 of which dropped
away (?), with 3 others added since. 5  3, and glancing at the SVN
log, there are in fact 3 active committers in the last few months. So
I think this minimally passes the incubator guideline.

Sean,

If you want to discuss graduation guide, here are the steps I'm noticing as
missing.  Lines copied straight from the [guide]:


   - FWD the [VOTE] e-mail to the general list, or
   - Send a different copy to the general list indicating that a graduation
   community [VOTE] is in progress
   - The resolution
   http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-resolution should
   be proposed on the general incubator list
general@incubator.apache.org before
   a VOTE http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html is started to
   allow feedback. Once a consensus has been reached, a VOTE should be
   started on the same general incubator list by a member of the PPMC
   http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html proposing that the IPMC

DeviceMap has been in the incubator for almost 3 years now, its
community is minimal but functional, it has made several releases and
rebuilt its small community after losing many of the initial
committers.

So the mentors feel that there's no benefit in leaving it in the
Incubator. Best case, the community grows, worst case it becomes too
small and moves to attic.apache.org. The same might happen if it stays
in the Incubator, with no benefit AFAICS.

 == Abstract ==
 HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed
 systems written in java.

 == Proposal ==
 HTrace is an aid for understanding system behavior and for reasoning
 about performance
 issues in distributed systems. HTrace is primarily a low impedance
 library that a java
 distributed system can incorporate to generate ‘breadcrumbs’ or
 ‘traces’ along the path
 of execution, even as it crosses processes and machines. HTrace also
 includes various
 tools and glue for collecting, processing and ‘visualizing’ captured
 execution traces
 for analysis ex post facto of where time was spent and what resources
 were consumed.

 == Background ==
 Distributed systems are made up of multiple software components
 running on multiple
 computers connected by networks. Debugging or profiling operations run
 over non-trivial
 distributed systems -- figuring execution paths and what services, machines, 
 and
 libraries participated in the processing of a request -- can be involved.

 == Rationale ==
 Rather than have each distributed system build its own custom
 ‘tracing’ libraries,
 ideally all would use a single project that provides necessary
 primitives and saves
 each project building its own visualizations and processing tools anew.

 Google described “...[a] large-scale distributed systems tracing 
 infrastructure”
 in Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure. The paper
 tells a compelling story of what is possible when disparate systems 
 standardize
 on a single tracing library and cooperate, ‘passing the baton’, filling out
 trace context as executions cross systems.

 HTrace aims to provide a rough equivalent in open source of the described core
 Dapper tools and library.  As it is adopted by more projects, there will be a
 ‘network effect’ as HTrace will provide a more comprehensive view of activity
 on the cluster.  For example, as HDFS gets HTrace support, we can connect this
 with the HTrace support in HBase to follow HBase requests as they enter HDFS.

 Given the success of HTrace depends on its being integrated by many  projects,
 HTrace should be perceived as unhampered, free of any commercial, political,
 or legal ‘taint’. Being an Apache project would help in this regard.

 == Initial Goals ==
 HTrace is a small project of narrow scope but with a grand vision:
   * Move the HTrace source and repository to Apache, a vendor-neutral
 location. Currently HTrace resides at a Cloudera-hosted repository.
   * Add past contributors as committers and institute Apache governance.
   * Evangelize and encourage HTrace diffusion. Initially we will
 continue a focus on the Hadoop space since that is where most of the
 initial contributors work and it is where HTrace has been initially
 deployed.
   * Building out the standalone visualization tool that ships with HTrace.
   * Build more community and add more committers

 == Current Status ==
 Currently HTrace has a viable Java trace library that can be interpolated
 to create ‘traces’.  The work that needs to be done on this library is mostly
 bug fixes, ease-of-use improvements, and performance tweaks.  In the future,
 we may add libraries for other languages besides Java.

 HTrace has means of dumping traces to the filesystem, Twitters’ Zipkin
 (a tracing
 sink and visualization system developed by Twitter
 https://github.com/twitter/zipkin),
 or Apache HBase.  Executions can be viewed either in Zipkin or in pygraph
 (https://code.google.com/p/python-graph/).

 Since the initial sprint in the summer of 2012 which saw HTrace patches 
 proposed
 for Apache HDFS and committed to Apache HBase, development has been sporadic;
 mostly a single developer or two adding a feature or bug fixing. HTrace is
 currently undergoing a new “spurt” of development with the effort to get 
 HTrace
 added to Apache HDFS revived and a new standalone viewing facility being added
 in to HTrace itself.

 HTrace has been integrated by Apache Phoenix.


 === Meritocracy ===
 HTrace, up to this, has been run by Apache committers and PMC members.
 We want to
 build out a diverse developer and user community and run the HTrace project in
 the Apache way.  Users and new contributors will be treated with respect and
 welcomed; they will earn merit in the project by tendering quality patches
 and support that move the project forward.  Those with a proven

 Why do you think graduating will give growth or even more visibility ?

No specific reason other than its just another accomplishment for the project. 
Active projects tend to garner more attention than inactive ones. But im just

This is a concern of the project. The PMC is indeed small. More than half of 
the original group has not participated in the last year and have not voiced 
that they would like to continue on with the project, leaving us with the group 
listed in the resolution. I do not know why these people decided not to 
continue their participation, but I can assure you that the remaining members 
are fully committed to continuing on with the project and we hope to recruit

I for sure understand and share the concern. One of the reasons for a project 
to show it can grow a community.

The project seems to have a fine technical base, but the lack of community 
growth is a major concern for me. Would it not be wise to postpone the 
graduation, and get the community to grow first ?

   == Abstract ==
   HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed
   systems written in java.
  
   == Proposal ==
   HTrace is an aid for understanding system behavior and for reasoning
   about performance
   issues in distributed systems. HTrace is primarily a low impedance
   library that a java
   distributed system can incorporate to generate ‘breadcrumbs’ or
   ‘traces’ along the path
   of execution, even as it crosses processes and machines. HTrace also
   includes various
   tools and glue for collecting, processing and ‘visualizing’ captured
   execution traces
   for analysis ex post facto of where time was spent and what resources
   were consumed.
  
   == Background ==
   Distributed systems are made up of multiple software components
   running on multiple
   computers connected by networks. Debugging or profiling operations run
   over non-trivial
   distributed systems -- figuring execution paths and what services,
  machines, and
   libraries participated in the processing of a request -- can be
 involved.
  
   == Rationale ==
   Rather than have each distributed system build its own custom
   ‘tracing’ libraries,
   ideally all would use a single project that provides necessary
   primitives and saves
   each project building its own visualizations and processing tools anew.
  
   Google described “...[a] large-scale distributed systems tracing
  infrastructure”
   in Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure.
 The
  paper
   tells a compelling story of what is possible when disparate systems
  standardize
   on a single tracing library and cooperate, ‘passing the baton’, filling
  out
   trace context as executions cross systems.
  
   HTrace aims to provide a rough equivalent in open source of the
  described core
   Dapper tools and library.  As it is adopted by more projects, there
 will
  be a
   ‘network effect’ as HTrace will provide a more comprehensive view of
  activity
   on the cluster.  For example, as HDFS gets HTrace support, we can
  connect this
   with the HTrace support in HBase to follow HBase requests as they enter
  HDFS.
  
   Given the success of HTrace depends on its being integrated by many
  projects,
   HTrace should be perceived as unhampered, free of any commercial,
  political,
   or legal ‘taint’. Being an Apache project would help in this regard.
  
   == Initial Goals ==
   HTrace is a small project of narrow scope but with a grand vision:
 * Move the HTrace source and repository to Apache, a vendor-neutral
   location. Currently HTrace resides at a Cloudera-hosted repository.
 * Add past contributors as committers and institute Apache
 governance.
 * Evangelize and encourage HTrace diffusion. Initially we will
   continue a focus on the Hadoop space since that is where most of the
   initial contributors work and it is where HTrace has been initially
   deployed.
 * Building out the standalone visualization tool that ships with
  HTrace.
 * Build more community and add more committers
  
   == Current Status ==
   Currently HTrace has a viable Java trace library that can be
 interpolated
   to create ‘traces’.  The work that needs to be done on this library is
  mostly
   bug fixes, ease-of-use improvements, and performance tweaks.  In the
  future,
   we may add libraries for other languages besides Java.
  
   HTrace has means of dumping traces to the filesystem, Twitters’ Zipkin

=== Meritocracy ===
HTrace, up to this, has been run by Apache committers and PMC members.
We want to
build out a diverse developer and user community and run the HTrace project in
the Apache way.  Users and new contributors will be treated with respect and
welcomed; they will earn merit in the project by tendering quality patches
and support that move the project forward.  Those with a proven support and
quality patch track record will be encouraged to become committers.

 == Abstract ==
 HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed
 systems written in java.

 == Proposal ==
 HTrace is an aid for understanding system behavior and for reasoning
 about performance
 issues in distributed systems. HTrace is primarily a low impedance
 library that a java
 distributed system can incorporate to generate ‘breadcrumbs’ or
 ‘traces’ along the path
 of execution, even as it crosses processes and machines. HTrace also
 includes various
 tools and glue for collecting, processing and ‘visualizing’ captured
 execution traces
 for analysis ex post facto of where time was spent and what resources
 were consumed.

 == Background ==
 Distributed systems are made up of multiple software components
 running on multiple
 computers connected by networks. Debugging or profiling operations run
 over non-trivial
 distributed systems -- figuring execution paths and what services,
 machines, and
 libraries participated in the processing of a request -- can be involved.

 == Rationale ==
 Rather than have each distributed system build its own custom
 ‘tracing’ libraries,
 ideally all would use a single project that provides necessary
 primitives and saves
 each project building its own visualizations and processing tools anew.

 Google described “...[a] large-scale distributed systems tracing
 infrastructure”
 in Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure. The
 paper
 tells a compelling story of what is possible when disparate systems
 standardize
 on a single tracing library and cooperate, ‘passing the baton’, filling out
 trace context as executions cross systems.

 HTrace aims to provide a rough equivalent in open source of the described
 core
 Dapper tools and library.  As it is adopted by more projects, there will
 be a
 ‘network effect’ as HTrace will provide a more comprehensive view of
 activity
 on the cluster.  For example, as HDFS gets HTrace support, we can connect
 this
 with the HTrace support in HBase to follow HBase requests as they enter
 HDFS.

 Given the success of HTrace depends on its being integrated by many
 projects,
 HTrace should be perceived as unhampered, free of any commercial,
 political,
 or legal ‘taint’. Being an Apache project would help in this regard.

 == Initial Goals ==
 HTrace is a small project of narrow scope but with a grand vision:
   * Move the HTrace source and repository to Apache, a vendor-neutral
 location. Currently HTrace resides at a Cloudera-hosted repository.
   * Add past contributors as committers and institute Apache governance.
   * Evangelize and encourage HTrace diffusion. Initially we will
 continue a focus on the Hadoop space since that is where most of the
 initial contributors work and it is where HTrace has been initially
 deployed.
   * Building out the standalone visualization tool that ships with HTrace.
   * Build more community and add more committers

 == Current Status ==
 Currently HTrace has a viable Java trace library that can be interpolated
 to create ‘traces’.  The work that needs to be done on this library is
 mostly
 bug fixes, ease-of-use improvements, and performance tweaks.  In the
 future,
 we may add libraries for other languages besides Java.

 HTrace has means of dumping traces to the filesystem, Twitters’ Zipkin
 (a tracing
 sink and visualization system developed by Twitter
 https://github.com/twitter/zipkin),
 or Apache HBase.  Executions can be viewed either in Zipkin or in pygraph
 (https://code.google.com/p/python-graph/).

 Since the initial sprint in the summer of 2012 which saw HTrace patches
 proposed
 for Apache HDFS and committed to Apache HBase, development has been
 sporadic;
 mostly a single developer or two adding a feature or bug fixing. HTrace is
 currently undergoing a new “spurt” of development with the effort to get
 HTrace
 added to Apache HDFS revived and a new standalone viewing facility being
 added
 in to HTrace itself.

 HTrace has been integrated by Apache Phoenix.


 === Meritocracy ===
 HTrace, up to this, has been run by Apache committers and PMC members.
 We want to
 build out a diverse developer and user community and run the HTrace
 project in
 the Apache way.  Users and new contributors will be treated with respect
 and
 welcomed; they will earn merit in the project by tendering quality patches
 and
