[REPORT] Apache Gora - August 2019

[Kevin Ratnasekera]

## Description:
 - The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model
and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores,
key-value stores, document stores, distributed in-memory key-value stores,
in-memory data grids, in-memory caches, distributed multi-model stores and
hybrid in-memory architectures. Gora also enables analysis of data with
extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Apache
Pig support.

## Issues:
 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
 - We formally released Apache Gora 0.9 after several release candidates.
 - We are currently completing mentoring activities for 4 Google summer of
code projects this year. All 4 projects are nearly completed in extremely
positive way, that will end up 4 new modules for us.
 - There was one external developer who contributed a new Apache Hive
datastore module for the project.
 - Currently we are reviewing PR s for these 5 new modules.

## Health report:
 - Apache Gora project is in very good health. There were a lot of
involvement from PMC members with related to reviewing PRs, verifying and
voting on release candidates.
 - Also there were a lot of mailing lists discussions on GSoC projects.
 - We are extremely positive on contributions from 4 GSoC students and an
external contributor, we will probably evaluate to extend our committer
base for these 5 individuals, once their major contributions are merged to
Apache Gora project.

## Description:
The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and
persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key
value stores, document stores, distributed in-memory key/value stores,
in-memory data grids, in-memory caches, distributed multi-model stores,
and hybrid in-memory architectures.
Gora also enables analysis of data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce
and Apache Spark support.

## Issues:
As of 2018-11-15 the PMC is currrently VOTE'ing on a change of Project
Chair for the
Apache Gora project. The VOTE will be closed and a RESOLUTION will be passed
to the board for consideration by the time the November 2018 board meeting
takes place.

## Activity:
Activity has been reasonably post summer, the Gora project did recently
however welcome
a new Committer and PMC member Carlos Muñoz was added as a committer on Mon
Nov 12 2018.

## Health report:
The Gora project is in good health. Mailing lists are responsive with
VOTE'ing initiatives
seeing good response from the community. The project will most likely look
towards a new
release once the PMC Chair position has been transferred.

## PMC changes:

 - Currently 26 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
 - Last PMC addition was Cihad Guzel on Tue Mar 13 2018

 - Carlos Muñoz was added as a committer on Mon Nov 12 2018

## Releases:

 - Last release was 0.8 on Mon Sep 18 2017

## Mailing list activity:

Mailing lists number remain allmost flatlined with a very slight decrease
on dev@, our primary
communication medium. Hopefully with the transition of PMC duties we can
inject some renewed
energy into the project and see incresed initiatives.

efforts from 2016 as well as some key upgrades to various datastores to
align them with other projects.

## Health report:
The project is successfully retaining interest with several PMC/community
members VOTE'ing on our 0.7 release candidate. We've added a numbef of new
modules as a result of continued GSoC participation. It is probably a good

have been reasonably quiet however we are very close to a release now.
In recent months we have added a number of modules to the codebase
from external contributors.

 +The last release of Gora (0.5) was on 20th September, 2014.
 +

 +
 +Consistent and encouraging. We see most activity happening

 +Gora upgrade. We've seen a number of issues identified
 +in use of Gora downstream and reported back to us. This is

 +Work is ongoing to have Gora implemented within Apache

 +
 +How has the community developed since the last report?

Overall Project Activity since last report

Project activity has been good. We've received a number of
contributions from non-pmc/committers which is really positive.
Work is ongoing on GORA_94 a branch of the trunk code which
focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our legacy Avro
dependencies from 1.3.3 to 1.7.X. As this is a major
undertaking therefore once this is addressed we will
be pushing a release candidate for 0.4.

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Apostolos Giannakidis as PMC member and committer
on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd).

How has the community developed since the last report?

Shadowing overall project activity the community mailing
lists and Jira have seen contributions from new faces
and new names.
This is very positive for the project showing that
people are not only using Gora but are keen to engage in
development.
Mailing list numbers are as follows
user@:from 49 -- 57
dev@: from 60 -- 64
commits@  from NA -- 26

Changes to PMC  Committers

Apostolos Giannakidis joined as PMC member and committer
on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd). Apostolos is the second GSoC
student who has been VOTE'd by the Gora PMC to join our
ranks. Sebb kept us on our toes during the board@
72hr NOTICE period so thank you to himn for that.

The last release of Gora (0.3) was on 8th May 2013.

Overall Project Activity since last report

Project activity has been reasonably quiet with much less mailing list
activity than the summer quarter.
There has however been promising activity from a new member of the
community Yasin Tamer. We are currently working on GORA_94 a branch
of the trunk code which focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our

Roland von Herget joined as PMC member and committer
on Thu, 7th Mar 2013.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Gora again participated in this years Google Summer of Code program.
Our student Apos Gianakiddis successfully completed his
project and Renato Marroquin (already a member of the Gora PMC)
was also successful in integrating Gora into Apache Giraph
as part of his GSoC project.

working towards.

Overall Project Activity since last report

Project activity has been steady. Mailing list activity has followed
usual trends, however our dev list saw the second highest ever level of
traffic during the month of July.
We moved to Apache CMS for our website and documentation so more adhoc
commits have been made since the last reporting period.
Since the last release 11 issues have been resolved, some of these major
in scope. We have also seen some new community members posting code
to our Jira instance which is great. We hope to integrate this in to
trunk for 0.4 release.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Gora was presented at this years CassandraSummit in SFO during June.
We were successful in being awarded two places for this years Google
Summer of Code program. Mid Term reporting has just taken place and
one project will be continuing.
Mailing list numbers have increased to
user:46
dev:62

Changes to PMC  Committers

Nothing to report.

PMC and Committer diversity

We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects
including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr  Hadoop
(this is not an exhaustive list).

[REPORT] Apache Gora

[Lewis John Mcgibbney]

Hi Board@,
A slight amendment to our REPORT to account for the fact we just pushed the
0.3Gora release.
Thank you

The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and
persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key
value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with
extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support.

Project Releases

The Apache Gora team was extremely happy to announce the release of Gora
0.3 on 8th May 2013. VOTE'ing and the release management procedure seems
to be working well for the community and it was great to get the code
released.

Overall Project Activity since last report

Generally project activity has been fairly steady. We have been working
towards our 0.3 release with one issue (flagged upstream within Nutch)
posing quite a problem from a technical viewpoint. The 0.3 release
candidate was initially delayed with the intent of addressing this issue
however a decision was made to push the RC and address it in 0.4.
The user list has seen usual very low traffic. Our dev list has seen
236, 110 and 55 posts (so far) for the months March, April and May
respectively. We've recently seen some contributions and activity
from newer community members brought to Gora by Google Summer of Code
(GSoC).
The Gora community decided to move to Apache CMS for publishing
documentation
and we are currently deciding on when to push the staging site live.

How has the community developed since the last report?

We have had some interest (mainly streamed down from the Nutch community)
regarding improving Gora for specific use cases and more generally.
user@gora has 33 subscribers
dev@gora has 54 subscribers
PMC members Renato and Lewis are preparing and presenting Gora at this
years Cassandra Summit in San Francisco in July. This is another attempt
to build Gora out more.
We have seen a number of students come forward and propose projects for this
years GSoC. This is great news for Gora and we are optimistic about working
to make the Gora community better.

Changes to PMC  Committers

The Gora PMC were very pleased to invite and have Roland von Herget
join our ranks on Thu, 7th Mar 2013. Roland also joined the
Gora PMC.

PMC and Committer diversity

We currently have committers from a wide variety of Apache projects
including, Nutch, Tika, OODT, Camel, Solr, Accumulo, Whirr  Hadoop

 Hi Guys,

 I've been a tad busy as of late and usually pass on this report prior
 to sending it off to board but didn't get it produced in quite as much
 time as I would have liked. Please see below for this months report.

 Project Releases

 The Apache Gora team was happy to announce the release of Gora 0.2 on
 24th April 2012 (1st since graduation from the Incubator). During the
 process of this release, the team managed to simplify the release process
 somewhat so we look forward to the shift towards a more incremental
 release policy within the project as a whole. As a side note, an
 experimental branch of Nutch is now very close to a community VOTE
 further to the recent Gora 0.2 release.

 Overall Project Activity since last report

 The majority of work directly concerned the 0.2 release as mentioned above.
 Since then there have been a few commits, however there has also been
 some encouraging conversation with respect to our site migration to
 the Apache CMS. We currently have some 50 odd issues to work on within
 the 0.3 development drive.

 How has the community developed since the last report?

 Encouragingly we have had a number of new issues logged on Jira
 from new Gora users. On most occasions this has sparked decent
 conversations
 however we are lacking patches from these new Gora users. Some excellent
 news was that our Gora Amazon DynamoDB Google Summer of Code project
 was succesfully accepted into this years programme. The prospective
 student, Renato has been on list and we look forward to kicking things
 off later this month.

 upgrade
 of the Avro code, so we will be vigilant in attracting new members. We also
 look forward to the progression of GSoC. Hopefully our student progresses
 to become part of the Gora team in due course.
