Hi Luke, (On behalf of Gearpump runner)
Getting retired (from Apache) doesn't mean the end of Gearpump as a project but to make it easier to commit and release for, honestly speaking, a small community. I've been maintaining Gearpump runner and will strive for better integration here. I agree we should revisit this question if the runner is too much of a burden. Thanks, Manu Zhang On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 6:34 AM Lukasz Cwik <lc...@google.com> wrote: > Datatorrent the largest contributor to the Apex project has closed > shop[1], the project hasn't retired but development has significantly > slowed down.
