The Accumulo community decided to draft the Apache community reports on the Accumulo dev list – and this is a draft of the January report for review / comments. The report is due by Wednesday, April 9th.
The following is cut-n-paste directly from the tool - formatting differences should not be reflected in the tool submission. Ed Coleman --- report text from reporter tool --- ## 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. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with high activity Issues for the board: Discussion on folding Fluo under the Accumulo PMC. The question has been raised by an ASF Director about the status of Fluo [1]. Fluo is a distinct and separate project that builds on Accumulo. The Accumulo and Fluo PMCs need to start a public discussion on how the Accumulo PMC can take ownership of the Fluo code base and if Fluo is maintained as a separate repo, keeping the current Fluo branding or somehow made a sub-project of Accumulo. Keeping the Fluo branding and repo may be the preferred approach, but may require additional guidance and coordination with the Board. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (13 years ago) There are currently 43 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 Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24. - No new committers. Last addition was Kevin Rathbun on 2024-07-24. ## Project Activity: ### Releases: - accumulo-1.10.4 (legacy) was released on 2023-11-16. - accumulo-2.1.3 (LTM) was released on 2024-08-12. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17. ### Planned Release Activity: Release planning for 2.1.4, 3.1 and 4.0 has been started on the dev list [2]. The release work for 2.1.4 is under way. The 3.1 branch has being prepared for release with the deprecations required by semver to mark removals that are planned to occur in the 4.0 release. The upcoming 4.0 release will be a significant change to Accumulo and is an evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity for improved cost and performance management. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The email traffic reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and issues for PRs discussions. We also use our slack channel for day-to-day communications. We continue to use the mailing list for official Apache business and it remains a channel for users to contact us. ## Links <private> [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/dcf5b1ypb6ynlklkrfs7r6dbmg9wqsoh </private> [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/ktpj3165v99gsw8s8lr5qh35r230mkym
