Attached below is a draft of this month's board report. Please let me
know if you have any additions or corrections.
## Description:
Apache Calcite is a highly customizable framework for parsing and
planning queries on data in a wide variety of formats. It allows
database-like access, and in particular a SQL interface and advanced
query optimization, for data not residing in a traditional database.
Avatica is a sub-project within Calcite and provides a framework for
building local and remote JDBC and ODBC database drivers. Avatica has an
independent release schedule and its own repository.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
Development and mailing list activity is steady for both Calcite and its
Avatica sub-project.
Calcite 1.18 was released towards the end of December with significant
enhancements to the SQL dialect: JSON functions, linear regression
functions and the WITHIN GROUP clause for aggregate functions. Avatica
was released in early December and included numerous bug fixes, upgraded
dependencies and docker images for the HSQLDB flavor of Avatica.
We continue to have a steady amount of contributions from new and
existing community members.
## Health report:
Activity levels on mailing lists, git and JIRA are normal for both
Calcite and Avatica.
