## Description:
The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software 
related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based 
access control and customizable server-side processing.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-21 (11 years ago)
There are currently 41 committers and 39 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 6:5.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Christopher L. Shannon on 2022-09-27.

Members transitioned to emeritus:
- Arvind Shyamsundar (arvindsh)
- David Medinets (medined)

## Project Activity:
Accumulo has started discussions and work to change the processing model to
support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. The Accumulo Confluence
space[1] was activated to host the design documents and provide a
collaboration platform for developers and users. The goal is to move from a
model where active table metatdata and table data management is hosted in
active processes to a model that can dynamically scale server components
on-demand to provide configurable latency and higher scalability.

Upcoming planned releases expected in the next quarter.
- Maintenance releases of 1.10.3 and 2.1.1, (The legacy 1.x line will reach
  end-of-life on 2022-11-01)
- The 3.0 release is planned to be a removal of deprecated items as permitted
  by semver, but with minimal other changes. The 3.0 release will be a
  baseline for redesign work but the community has not decided if the redesign
  would be a 3.1 or a 4.0 release. Those discussions will occur as the design
  continues to evolve

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent.

- The current decline in GitHub activity is due to quiet post-release activity
  and work concentrating on a redesign efforts, including activity
  occurring on Confluence

- Accumulo has transitioned from Jira to GitHub issues. The remaining Jira
  activity reflects closing obsolete issues.
