Hi board@, The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support.
Project Releases The last release of Gora (0.3) was on 8th May 2013. Overall Project Activity since last report Project activity has been good. We've received a number of contributions from non-pmc/committers which is really positive. Work is ongoing on GORA_94 a branch of the trunk code which focuses on a long-overdue upgrade of our legacy Avro dependencies from 1.3.3 to 1.7.X. As this is a major undertaking therefore once this is addressed we will be pushing a release candidate for 0.4. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? Apostolos Giannakidis as PMC member and committer on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd). How has the community developed since the last report? Shadowing overall project activity the community mailing lists and Jira have seen contributions from new faces and new names. This is very positive for the project showing that people are not only using Gora but are keen to engage in development. Mailing list numbers are as follows user@: from 49 --> 57 dev@: from 60 --> 64 commits@ from NA --> 26 Changes to PMC & Committers Apostolos Giannakidis joined as PMC member and committer on 2014-01-17 (yyy-mm-dd).
