Phoenix is an open source SQL query engine for Apache HBase, a NoSQL data store. It is accessed as a JDBC driver and enables querying and managing HBase tables using SQL. Phoenix has been incubating since 12/11/2013. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1) Perform initial release out of apache incubator followed up quickly by two new releases 2) Make our customers successful and prove value of Phoenix+HBase over other alternatives 3) Attract new committers to the project Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? The below is informational for the IPMC (no need to forward the board): We've been waiting four weeks for our Github issues to be imported in our Apache JIRA. My expectation was that this is a more automated task that would be complete in a few days to a week. Given the rise in popularity of Github, this is likely to remain a bottleneck for any future projects make this transition. We're considering doing the import ourselves, as we're starting to see duplicate JIRAs and continue to have to point users back to our old Github issues. How has the community developed since the last report? We've cut over from our former Github-based open source project to our new Apache home and dev and user lists are busy. No new committers. How has the project developed since the last report? * Apache Brand Management has ok'd our name of Apache Phoenix [1] * IP Clearance is nearly complete: software grant has been submitted and acknowledged. Vote is underway and will close on 2/8. IP-CLEARANCE note has been posted on general. * Reviewing proposed release on dev list and if all looks good, will start a vote for our first release next week. * Working in parallel toward a new 3.0.0 release as well. Date of last release: No release yet. When were the last committers or PMC members elected? No new committers or PMC members. 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-44?filter=-2
