This is the draft for Nov 2017. Please review.
--------------------
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/PPMC has voted to move portions of Slider into
Apache Hadoop YARN as modules. It is possible that the remaining pieces
will be moved at a later point in time or become obsolete or evolve to
work closely with YARN. A vote was initiated in the Apache Hadoop
community
to merge all Slider specific changes (now referred to as YARN Services)
from a branch to trunk. Expectation is to make YARN Services an integral
part of Apache Hadoop 3.x release. Few issues were raised on the changes
in the branch, but all have been addressed and a new vote was initiated
on Oct 30, 2017.
2. Getting more external users
3. Growth of a diverse set of developers/committers/PMC members
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?
Mailing list activity has been lower due to the bulk of the development
moving to an Apache Hadoop branch. Questions on usage and issues
encountered by end users keep coming at regular intervals, keeping the DL
somewhat active.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Work continues in parallel on the Apache Hadoop yarn-native-services
branch and on the Slider podling. The bulk of the work has been in
yarn-native-services. However, quite of few Fortify identified issues,
a new feature for Percentage based Health Monitor support (SLIDER-1246) and
a few Slider patches (related to critical issues or agent-only issues) have
been committed to the Slider podling, since the last report.
How would you assess the podling's maturity? Please feel free to add your
own
commentary.
