Please find below a draft podling report for Crail, subject to discussion, suggestions, changes, etc.
Initially I wanted to directly put that in at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/June2020 to edit online with you. Unfortunately I lost my Confluence password for login, and any attempt to reset it ends up with "An internal error occurred when trying to change your password." In the interest of time, and assuming others on the list still have access, I'd ask one of you to put it in later today if we agreed on the content. Thanks, Bernard. Here is what I have in mind as a report so far: ----------- Crail Crail is a storage platform for sharing performance critical data in distributed data processing jobs at very high speed. Crail has been incubating since 2017-11-01. - Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Grow developers community 2. Grow Crail use base 3. More steady release cycle - Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of? no. - How has the community developed since the last report? We see increasing traffic on the dev mailing list from Crail users. A recent proposal from Adrian to add elastic scaling got positive feedback from other committers. - How has the project developed since the last report? Crail went through a phase of limited visible activities on the code base. It is critical the Crail developers community resumes to be more active to keep the project making decent progress. Using Crail as an ephemeral data store for serverless computing emerges as a very suitable use case. Pushing this forward, aiming at inclusion in a next release is of common interest among the committers. - How would you assess the podling's maturity? (Please feel free to add your own commentary.) Initial setup Working towards first release x Community building Nearing graduation Other: - Date of last release: 2020-01-14 - When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? December 4th, 2018 - Have your mentors been helpful and responsive? yes.
