I have written the first draft. Please review and make corrections. I will
upload it to the site tonight.

MRQL
MRQL is a query processing and optimization system for large-scale,
distributed data analysis, built on top of Apache Hadoop and Hama.
MRQL has been incubating since 2013-03-13.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Expand the development community to include more diverse committers
2. Complete the first release
3. Improve query performance on large clusters
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
none
How has the community developed since the last report?
We have posted a project description on the HadoopSphere blog, which
initiated some discussion and interest. Since the last report, there
was little activity in recruiting new users and developers, but we are
very close to completing the first release. We believe that, as soon
as we make the first release available, many users will start using
the system, will request bug fixes, improvements, and additional
functionality, and will become new contributors.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We are in the process of completing the MRQL codebase to make it ready
for the first release, which we expect to take place in the next few
weeks. The only major component missing that delays this release is
switching to maven as our project management tool. We believe that
using maven is important because it will facilitate contributions by
(and recruitment of) committers and will ease version management. The
reasons for the delay are: 1) no one of the current developers has
prior experience with maven 2) the codebase is non-standard because it
uses non-standard tools to generate Java code.
Date of last release:
none yet
