Hi Josh, and Eric, Thanks. As for the IP clearances and stuff, yes, makes total sense. Eric and anyone that contributed to this patch need and should have ASF ICLAs on file. It's a simple process, download the ICLA here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt And submit it for each individual contributor to [email protected] Beyond that it may be nice in this case since it's got corporate stuff attached to it to see if Data Tactics is willing to sign an Apache Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA): http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt Not a requirement by any means, but a nice thing. So Eric and others at Data Tactics, that's something to consider. Once that's taken care, the Accumulo PMC can take on the stewardship of the code if someone on that PMC like Josh is willing to work through any issues that that person (or others on the PMC) have with bringing it on board. Also since Apache is a meritocracy, Eric and others, you will be credited for the work that you contribute and if you keep doing so over time, and creating work for the Accumulo PMC members, your work will likely be recognized. The Incubator PMC is there as a clearinghouse for new projects and new communities to begin their journey towards Apache individual project status (TLP) and the Apache way. Eric: do you see this project as an entirely new community that is complementary to Accumulo? If so, the Incubator would be a good route to go. If you see this as part of core Accumulo (or even contrib) and you can convince someone on the PMC like Josh to help shepherd this code into their PMC, that's also another route.
