The project's core idea of dynamic creation and management of YARN clusters without creating static partitions is still relevant. This project and it's community were one of the first movers in the still developing space of stateful containerized distributed systems.
I believe the project is currently lagging behind the fast paced development of Apache Mesos ecosystem project and is currently not designed to take advantage of the fast growing Kubernetes (Apache License 2.0) ecosystem. I also believe the project is not just about the code which gets old once it's written, unless tendered and cared for regularly, it's also about the community, and the mindshare. Here are the things that we can do to bring life to the project again: 1. Refactor the project codebase to take advantage of the advances in the Apache Mesos Ecosystem, which from my direct experience, will simplify the project codebase a lot, making it easier once again to maintain it, while making it more relevant to the Apache Mesos community again. 2. Extend the project to take advantage of Kubernetes project's and enable dynamic creation and management of YARN clusters on Kubernetes. Kubernetes project now has great support for building stateful containerized applications. Refactoring work in Step #1 will lay the groundwork that will make it easier to extend the project for the Kubernetes ecosystem. I'm happy to take a lead to drive both above initiatives, and can post a detailed plan and design for accomplishing above in coming months. I am also happy to take a lead on submitting monthly incubator reports. I truly believe that we should give the project one more chance to recuperate and thrive.
