[Announce] 张铎 (Duo Zhang) is Apache HBase PMC chair

2019-07-18 Thread Misty Linville 
Each Apache project has a project management committee (PMC) that oversees
governance of the project, votes on new committers and PMC members, and
ensures that the software we produce adheres to the standards of the
Foundation. One of the roles on the PMC is the PMC chair. The PMC chair
represents the project as a Vice President of the Foundation and
communicates to the board about the project's health, once per quarter and
at other times as needed.

It's been my honor to serve as your PMC chair since 2017, when I took over
from Andrew Purtell. I've decided to step back from my volunteer ASF
activities to leave room in my life for other things. The HBase PMC
nominated Duo for this role, and Duo has kindly agreed! The board passed
this resolution in its meeting yesterday[1] and it is already official[2].
Congratulations, Duo, and thank you for continuing to honor the project
with your dedication.

[REPORT] HBase Quarterly report Apr-Jun 2019

2019-07-10 Thread Misty Linville 
All,

HBase submits a report to the ASF board once a quarter, to inform the board
about project health. I'm sending the report to the user@ and dev@ mailing
lists because you are the project, and for transparency. If you have any
questions about the report or the running of the project, you can pose them
to any PMC member or committer, or send an email to priv...@hbase.apache.org,
which every PMC member subscribes to.

Thanks,
Misty

## Description:

Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational
database. Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of
rows with millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware.

hbase-connectors is a collection of integration points with other projects.
The initial release includes artifacts for use with Apache Kafka and Apache
Spark.

hbase-filesystem contains HBase project-specific implementations of the
Apache Hadoop FileSystem API. It is currently experimental and internal to
the project.

## Issues:


The HBase PMC previously requested mediation from the ASF membership on an
internal PMC matter, and are withdrawing the request. The individual is not
currently active in the HBase project. This item will be omitted from
future reports, unless new issues arise. See
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e5b2d756033821e4c7162647259a673c91fcd581b00ca16e8280c13a@%3Cboard.apache.org%3E
.

Board-only information removed from public report.

## Activity:

There have been lots of interesting discussions on the dev@ mailing list.
Highlights:
- HBase 1.2.x is at the end of maintenance (EOM). 1.2.x users are
encouraged to upgrade to the current stable line (1.4.9) or even newer if
they are able.
- We had more discussions of EOLing the 2.0.x line, and decided to release
a 2.0.6 release first. (
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/804ee14d830ab41bdf5846f6f86d3db7f1af36f6304d82ef89d67f44@%3Cdev.hbase.apache.org%3E

).
- Toward modularizing HBase code for ease of maintenance and releases, we
created new repositories for hbase-connectors, hbase-native-client,
hbase-filesystem. (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20934,

)
- We improved the Downloads page by removing all references to
dist.apache.org from it. (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22206)
- We had several heart-felt discussions, on dev@ and private@, about the
responsibility of the PMC in voting for release candidates, Release Manager
burn-out, the meaning of +0 votes, whether to continue testing a RC after
it is sunk, and other related topics. Some of those discussions are
available to the public. (

Planning is underway for the next HBaseCon Asia! Contact Duo Zhang <
zhang...@apache.org> to get involved.

The HBase project is working toward the goal of more frequent minor
releases and fewer unprompted maintenance releases. In total this quarter,
HBase had 7 releases over this quarter, across 3 release lines, and
hbase-thirdparty had 1 release.

Another goal, spanning several quarters, is to solicit more non-binding
votes on release candidates, as non-binding votes are one signal of broader
community engagement.
- HBase 2.1.3 RC1 had 40% non-binding votes (
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/baef78476204a476b45f7e273b006f19d057c6d9123d8a34178539a9@%3Cdev.hbase.apache.org%3E
)
- We voted on and failed several release candidates this quarter. We had
less participation from non-binding voters this quarter.
As a reminder, anyone on the dev@ list can test and provide feedback on a
release candidate, and cast a non-binding vote.

One new committer was added this quarter, and one committer joined the PMC.
More details below. Thanks to the new committers and PMC members for
agreeing to take on more responsibilities in the project.

## Health report:

We've bounced back from the holiday dip in activity. Specifically, we have
fixed a lot of JIRA issues this quarter!

HBase quarterly report Apr - June 2018

2018-07-10 Thread Misty Linville 
All,

HBase submits a report to the ASF board once a quarter, to inform the board
about project health. I'm sending the report to the user@ and dev@ mailing
lists because you are the project, and for transparency. If you have any
questions about the report or the running of the project, you can pose them
to me or any other PMC member or committer, or send an email to
priv...@hbase.apache.org, which every PMC member subscribes to.

Thanks,
Misty

developments in the community."

short stories of their experience using HBase."
