Folks, lack a UI is a severe hindrance to anyone even trying Tez. My question to the folks on the TEZ-8 branch would be which release of Tez they are targeting for the UI? 0.6, 0.7?
After 0.5 a bunch of features are making their way into system. There was a huge gap between 0.4 and 0.5. That is not good for the project as people don’t have a release with newer features for a long time. But with stable APIs after 0.5, iterating on releases should be much easier now. I will start a separate discussion on that. Given the above my question would be when can we have a minimal functional UI that can be setup by a motivated user so that they can try Tez with less pain than today. It may not be ready in totality or stability but if it can show something it would still be a lot better than today. It’s the same approach that we followed with swim-lanes to put something in that works for the most part so that someone can get started.
