Hi -

The [DISCUSS] thread has been quiet for a few days, so I think there's been
sufficient opportunity for discussion around our proposal to bring Impala
to the ASF Incubator.

I'd like to call a VOTE on that proposal, which is on the wiki at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ImpalaProposal, and which I've pasted
below.

During the discussion period, the proposal has been amended to add Brock
Noland as a new mentor, to add one missed committer from the list and to
correct some issues with the dependency list.

Please cast your votes as follows:

[] +1, accept Impala into the Incubator
[] +/-0, non-counted vote to express a disposition
[] -1, do not accept Impala into the Incubator (please give your reason(s))

As with the concurrent Kudu vote, I propose leaving the vote open for a
full seven days (to close at Tuesday, December 1st at noon PST), due to the
upcoming US holiday.

Thanks,

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

= Proposal =

We propose to contribute the Impala codebase and associated artifacts (e.g.
documentation, web-site content etc.) to the Apache Software Foundation
with the intent of forming a productive, meritocratic and open community
around Impala’s continued development, according to the ‘Apache Way’.

Cloudera owns several trademarks regarding Impala, and proposes to transfer
ownership of those trademarks in full to the ASF.

= Background =
Engineers at Cloudera developed Impala and released it as an
Apache-licensed open-source project in Fall 2012. Impala was written as a
brand-new, modern C++ SQL engine targeted from the start for data stored in
Apache Hadoop clusters.

Impala’s most important benefit to users is high-performance, making it
extremely appropriate for common enterprise analytic and business
intelligence workloads. This is achieved by a number of software
techniques, including: native support for data stored in HDFS and related
filesystems, just-in-time compilation and optimization of individual query
plans, high-performance C++ codebase and massively-parallel distributed
architecture. In benchmarks, Impala is routinely amongst the very highest
performing SQL query engines.

= Rationale =

Despite the exciting innovation in the so-called ‘big-data’ space, SQL
remains by far the most common interface for interacting with data in both
traditional warehouses and modern ‘big-data’ clusters. There is clearly a
need, as evidenced by the eager adoption of Impala and other SQL engines in
enterprise contexts, for a query engine that offers the familiar SQL
interface, but that has been specifically designed to operate in massive,
distributed clusters rather than in traditional, fixed-hardware,
warehouse-specific deployments. Impala is one such query engine.

We believe that the ASF is the right venue to foster an open-source
community around Impala’s development. We expect that Impala will benefit
from more productive collaboration with related Apache projects, and under
the auspices of the ASF will attract talented contributors who will push
Impala’s development forward at pace.

We believe that the timing is right for Impala’s development to move
wholesale to the ASF: Impala is well-established, has been Apache-licensed
open-source for more than three years, and the core project is relatively
stable. We are excited to see where an ASF-based community can take Impala
from this strong starting point.

= Initial Goals =
Our initial goals are as follows:

  * Establish ASF-compatible engineering practices and workflows
  * Refactor and publish existing internal build scripts and test
infrastructure, in order to make them usable by any community member.
  * Transfer source code, documentation and associated artifacts to the ASF.
  * Grow the user and developer communities

= Current Status =

Impala is developed as an Apache-licensed open-source project. The source
code is available at http://github.com/cloudera/Impala, and developer
documentation is at https://github.com/cloudera/Impala/wiki. The majority
of commits to the project have come from Cloudera-employed developers, but
we have accepted some contributions from individuals from other
organizations.

All code reviews are done via a public instance of the Gerrit review tool
at http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/, and discussed on a public mailing
list. All patches must be reviewed before they are accepted into the
codebase, via a voting mechanism that is similar to that used on Apache
projects such as Hadoop and HBase.

Before a patch is committed, it must pass a suite of pre-commit tests.
These tests are currently run on Cloudera’s internal infrastructure. One of
our initial goals will be to work with the ASF Infrastructure team to find
a way to run these tests in an acceptable way on publicly accessible
machines.

Issues are tracked in JIRA at

Subject: [VOTE] Accept Impala into the Apache Incubator

>Hi -
>
>The [DISCUSS] thread has been quiet for a few days, so I think there's
>been
>sufficient opportunity for discussion around our proposal to bring Impala
>to the ASF Incubator.
>
>I'd like to call a VOTE on that proposal, which is on the wiki at
>https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ImpalaProposal, and which I've pasted
>below.
>
>During the discussion period, the proposal has been amended to add Brock
>Noland as a new mentor, to add one missed committer from the list and to
>correct some issues with the dependency list.
>
>Please cast your votes as follows:
>
>[] +1, accept Impala into the Incubator
>[] +/-0, non-counted vote to express a disposition
>[] -1, do not accept Impala into the Incubator (please give your
>reason(s))
>
>As with the concurrent Kudu vote, I propose leaving the vote open for a

>= Abstract =
>Impala is a high-performance C++ and Java SQL query engine for data stored
>in Apache Hadoop-based clusters.
>
>= Proposal =
>
>We propose to contribute the Impala codebase and associated artifacts
>(e.g.
>documentation, web-site content etc.) to the Apache Software Foundation
>with the intent of forming a productive, meritocratic and open community
>around Impala’s continued development, according to the ‘Apache Way’.
>
>Cloudera owns several trademarks regarding Impala, and proposes to
>transfer
>ownership of those trademarks in full to the ASF.
>
>= Background =
>Engineers at Cloudera developed Impala and released it as an
>Apache-licensed open-source project in Fall 2012. Impala was written as a
>brand-new, modern C++ SQL engine targeted from the start for data stored
>in
>Apache Hadoop clusters.
>
>Impala’s most important benefit to users is high-performance, making it
>extremely appropriate for common enterprise analytic and business
>intelligence workloads. This is achieved by a number of software
>techniques, including: native support for data stored in HDFS and related
>filesystems, just-in-time compilation and optimization of individual query
>plans, high-performance C++ codebase and massively-parallel distributed
>architecture. In benchmarks, Impala is routinely amongst the very highest
>performing SQL query engines.
>
>= Rationale =
>
>Despite the exciting innovation in the so-called ‘big-data’ space, SQL
>remains by far the most common interface for interacting with data in both
>traditional warehouses and modern ‘big-data’ clusters. There is clearly a
>need, as evidenced by the eager adoption of Impala and other SQL engines
>in
>enterprise contexts, for a query engine that offers the familiar SQL
>interface, but that has been specifically designed to operate in massive,
>distributed clusters rather than in traditional, fixed-hardware,
>warehouse-specific deployments. Impala is one such query engine.
>
>We believe that the ASF is the right venue to foster an open-source
>community around Impala’s development. We expect that Impala will benefit
>from more productive collaboration with related Apache projects, and under
>the auspices of the ASF will attract talented contributors who will push
>Impala’s development forward at pace.
>
>We believe that the timing is right for Impala’s development to move
>wholesale to the ASF: Impala is well-established, has been Apache-licensed
>open-source for more than three years, and the core project is relatively
>stable. We are excited to see where an ASF-based community can take Impala
>from this strong starting point.
>
>= Initial Goals =
>Our initial goals are as follows:
>
> * Establish ASF-compatible engineering practices and workflows
> * Refactor and publish existing internal build scripts and test
>infrastructure, in order to make them usable by any community member.
> * Transfer source code, documentation and associated artifacts to the
>ASF.
> * Grow the user and developer communities
