  Apache Myriad Proposal
 
  * Abstract
  Myriad enables co-existence of Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos
 together
  on the same cluster and allows dynamic resource allocations across both
  Hadoop and other applications running on the same physical data center
  infrastructure.
 
  * Proposal
  The vision of Myriad is to provide a comprehensive framework to ensure
  Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos can interoperate with minimal changes
  on either side and prevent the static fragmentation of data center
  resources.
 
  * Background
  Project Myriad is the first resource management framework that allows big
  data developers to run YARN-based Hadoop jobs alongside other
 applications
  and services in production. ebay Inc., MapR, and Mesosphere jointly built
  Myriad (available on Github at https://github.com/mesos/myriad) with the
  vision of freeing big data jobs from siloed clusters and consolidating
  infrastructure into a single pool of resources for greater utilization
 and
  operational efficiency. Several companies including Twitter have
 expressed
  interest in Myriad and have begun testing it.
 
  * Rationale
  Many Hadoop users are building larger clusters (data lake/data hub
  architectures) that support multiple workloads - made possible by the
  advent of Apache Hadoop YARN. As the clusters grow in size and
 importance,
  they become an important application within the broader datacenter. At
 the
  same time, Apache Mesos enables efficient resource isolation and sharing
  across distributed applications for the broader data center, for instance
  MPI, Spark, long running web services, build/test infrastructure,
  traditional linux applications/scripts, and others (including arbitrary
  docker images).
 
  Myriad aims to enable co-existence of Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos
  on the same physical data center resources, reducing fragmentation of
 data
  center resources.
 
  * Project Goals
  ** Initial Goals
  - Run Myriad alongside Apache Hadoop YARN and Apache Mesos to allow
 policy
  based allocation of data center resources across Apache Hadoop and other
  distributed applications
  - Ensure YARN based execution frameworks work without any changes when
  running alongside Myriad. YARN Applications will continue to interact and
  run on top of YARN and can choose to be unaware of Myriad.
  - Ensure Mesos based execution frameworks work without any changes when
  running alongside Myriad. Mesos applications will continue to interact
 and
  run on Mesos and can choose to be unaware of Myriad.
  - Provide isolation for multi-tenancy.
- Use linux cgroups (and optionally Docker-like technologies to ease
  packaging, deployment and broader isolation) so that multiple YARN
 clusters
  can run in their own space and are isolated from each other. YARN’s RM
 and
  NMs are dockerized.
  - Myriad should be able to manage full YARN lifecycle:
- Bring up YARN (RM, NM)
- Scale Up/Down YARN
- Release resources and shut down YARN
 
  ** Longer Term Goals
  - Allow fine-grained dynamic allocation of resources to Hadoop including
  the ability to scale up and scale down the cluster.
- Provide different policies to allow downsizing running applications
 on
  Hadoop when resources are taken away from it.
- Provide a framework so the downsizing policy is pluggable and users
 can
  write their own implementations.
  - Allow multiple versions of Apache Hadoop to run on the same physical
  infrastructure
  - Allow workload portability - ability to migrate YARN workloads across
  various cloud infrastructures seamlessly (e.g. GCE, AWS, etc)
  - Security:
- Authentication Requirements:
  - Support basic CRAM-MD5 password authentication between Myriad and
  Mesos. Additional authentication mechanisms may be supported in the
 future.
  - Traditional user authentication with Hadoop’s HTTP web-consoles
  should work as usual.
- Authorization:
  - Only authorized users are allowed to launch YARN

== Abstract ==
Zeppelin is a collaborative data analytics and visualization tool for
distributed, general-purpose data processing systems such as Apache
Spark, Apache Flink, etc.
   
== Proposal ==
Zeppelin is a modern web-based tool for the data scientists to
collaborate over large-scale data exploration and visualization
projects. It is a notebook style interpreter that enable
 collaborative
analysis sessions sharing between users. Zeppelin is independent of
the execution framework itself. Current version runs on top of Apache
Spark but it has pluggable interpreter APIs to support other data
processing systems. More execution frameworks could be added at a
later date i.e Apache Flink, Crunch as well as SQL-like backends such
as Hive, Tajo, MRQL.
   
We have a strong preference for the project to be called Zeppelin. In
case that may not be feasible, alternative names could be: “Mir”,
“Yuga” or “Sora”.
   
== Background ==
Large scale data analysis workflow includes multiple steps like data
acquisition, pre-processing, visualization, etc and may include
inter-operation of multiple different tools and technologies. With
 the
widespread of the open source general-purpose data processing systems
like Spark there is a lack of open source, modern user-friendly tools
that combine strengths of interpreted language for data analysis with
new in-browser visualization libraries and collaborative
 capabilities.
   
Zeppelin initially started as a GUI tool for diverse set of
SQL-over-Hadoop systems like Hive, Presto, Shark, etc. It was open
source since its inception in Sep 2013. Later, it became clear that
there was a need for a greater web-based tool for data scientists to
collaborate on data exploration over the large-scale projects, not
limited to SQL. So Zeppelin integrated full support of Apache Spark
while adding a collaborative environment with the ability to run and
share interpreter sessions in-browser
   
== Rationale ==
There are no open source alternatives for a collaborative
notebook-based interpreter with support of multiple distributed data
processing systems.
   
As a number of companies adopting and contributing back to Zeppelin
 is
growing, we think that having a long-term home at Apache foundation
would be a great fit for the project ensuring that processes and
procedures are in place to keep project and community “healthy” and
free of any commercial, political or legal faults.
   
== Initial Goals ==
The initial goals will be to move the existing codebase to Apache and
integrate with the Apache development process. This includes moving
all infrastructure that we currently maintain, such as: a website, a
mailing list, an issues tracker and a Jenkins CI, as mentioned in
“Required Resources” section of current proposal.
Once this is accomplished, we plan for incremental development and
releases that follow the Apache guidelines.
To increase adoption the major goal for the project would be to
provide integration with as much projects from Apache data ecosystem
as possible, including new interpreters for Apache Hive, Apache Drill
and adding Zeppelin distribution to Apache Bigtop.
On the community building side the main goal is to attract a diverse
set of contributors by promoting Zeppelin to wide variety of
engineers, starting a Zeppelin user groups around the globe and by
engaging with other existing Apache projects communities online.
   
   
== Current Status ==
Currently, Zeppelin has 4 released versions and is used in production
at a number of companies across the globe mentioned in Affiliation
section. Current implementation status is pre-release with public API
not being finalized yet. Current main and default backend processing
engine is Apache Spark with consistent support of

   = SAMOA =
   == Abstract ==
   SAMOA is an an open-source platform for mining big data streams.
  
   == Proposal ==
   SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the
   most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as
  classification,
   clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to
  develop
   new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines
   (DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on
   several DSPEs such as Apache Storm, Apache S4, and Apache Samza.
  
   == Background ==
   Hadoop and its ecosystem have changed the way data are processed by
   allowing to push algorithms to unprecedented scale. As an example,
 Mahout
   allows to run data mining and machine learning algorithms on very large
   datasets. However, Hadoop and Mahout are not suited to handle streaming
   data. Simply put, the goal of SAMOA is to provide a streaming
 counterpart
   to Mahout.
  
   == Rationale ==
   SAMOA aims to fill the current gap in tools for mining large scale
  streams.
   Many organizations can benefit from a scalable stream mining platform
   system such as SAMOA.
  
   SAMOA is a natural fit for the Apache Software Foundation. It is
 licensed
   under the ASL v2.0. It already interoperates with several existing
 Apache
   projects such as Storm, S4, and Samza. Furthermore, it is complementary
  to
   existing Apache projects such as Mahout. The initial committers are
   familiar with the Apache process and subscribes to the Apache mission.
   Indeed, the team includes multiple Apache committers. Finally, joining
   Apache will help coordinate the development effort of the growing
 number
  of
   organizations which contribute to SAMOA.
  
   == Initial Goals ==
   * Move the existing codebase to Apache
   * Integrate with the Apache development process
   * Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines
  
   == Current Status ==
   SAMOA started as a research project at Yahoo Labs in 2013 and was
   open-sourced in October the same year. It has been under development on
   Yahoo's public GitHub repository since being open-sourced. It has
  undergone
   two releases (0.1, 0.2).
  
   === Meritocracy ===
   The SAMOA project already operates on meritocratic principles. Today,
  SAMOA
   has several developers and has accepted multiple patches from outside
 of
   Yahoo Labs. However, our intent with this incubator proposal is to
 start
   building a more diverse developer community around SAMOA that follows
 the
   Apache meritocracy model. We will identify all committers and PPMC
  members
   for the project operating under the ASF meritocratic principles. We
 plan
  to
   continue support for new contributors and work with those who
 contribute
   significantly to the project to make them committers.
  
   === Community ===
   SAMOA is currently being used internally at Yahoo. Acceptance into the
   Apache foundation would bolster the existing user and developer
 community
   around SAMOA. That community includes contributors from several
   institutions, active mostly on GitHub's pages. SAMOA has been starred
  more
   than 300 times and forked more than 50 times on GitHub as of November
  2014.
  
   === Core Developers ===
   The core developers are a diverse group, many of which already very
   experienced with open source. There are two existing Apache committers,
   along with people from various companies and universities.
  
   === Alignment ===
   The ASF is the natural choice to host SAMOA. First, its goal of
  encouraging
   community-driven open-source projects fits with our vision for SAMOA.
   Additionally, many other projects that SAMOA is based on, such as
 Apache
   Storm, S4, Samza, and HDFS, are hosted by the ASF. Close proximity of
  SAMOA
   to these projects within the ASF will provide mutual benefit.
  
   == Known Risks ==
   === Orphaned Products ===

  Please let me know what do you guys think and also

  Roman.
 
  == 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
