The following is the Apache Knox board report for Nov 2017:
## Description:
The Apache Knox Gateway is a REST API Gateway for interacting with Apache
Hadoop clusters. The Knox Gateway provides a single access point for all
REST/HTTP interactions with Apache Hadoop clusters.
## Issues:
There are no issues that requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
The Apache Knox team is in the process of an active VOTE for our 0.14.0
release.
We will be immediately following up with our 1.0.0 release which will
include
a repackaging of all of our class package names to remove "hadoop" from the
name.
This will allow downstream consumers to take on new features in 0.14.0
without
moving to new package names in case of incompatibilities.
## Health report:
We have continued to use the KIP-# pages to drive the primary focus of each
release and feel it is working well. The 0.14.0 release was primarily
focused on the addition of the service discovery and simplified descriptors
(KIP-8) to improve and simplify management of topologies. It also includes
many improvements and bug fixes.
The current level of collaboration is healthy and encouraging within the
community on both mailing lists and JIRAs.
