Here is a first draft. Please review by tomorrow, as the deadline for the report is tomorrow.
=============== Slider Slider is a collection of tools and technologies to package, deploy, and manage long running applications on Apache Hadoop YARN clusters. Slider has been incubating since 2014-04-29. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Apache Slider community/PMC members and the Apache Hadoop YARN community/PMC members have unanimously voted to move Apache Slider into Apache Hadoop YARN. Hence, Apache Slider will not move to TLP. 2. 3. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No. How has the community developed since the last report? The Apache Hadoop YARN community/PMC and Apache Slider community/PMC has decided to merge Slider into YARN, to make fast and significant progress on: YARN-4692 - [Umbrella] Simplified and first-class support for services in YARN. As a result, Apache Slider assets like codebase, documentation, etc. will roll into Apache Hadoop YARN. This effort is being captured in: YARN-5079 : Native YARN framework layer for services. At this point a branch has been created in the Hadoop codebase, and Slider codebase has been selectively migrated. In order to support existing users of Slider, and provide seamless migration, there will be sufficient overlap between the time when a stable state of long running services support is available in some future version of YARN and the time till an independent Slider release is available. The discussions on the Slider and YARN community DLs can be viewed here - https://s.apache.org/0hoh https://s.apache.org/MncV How has the project developed since the last report? Work continues on support for complex services (assemblies) and agent-less applications in Slider. These efforts will continue in the new services branch created in YARN. Date of last release: 2016-06-29 slider-0.91.0-incubating When were the last committers or PMC members elected? 2015-07-07: Yu (Thomas) Liu =============== -Gour
