Hi Martin, The intended audience for our project are users in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem looking for transactional and operational SQL. We provide a transactional and operational SQL engine on top of Apache HBase, with some support for non-transactional operation on Hive tables. By operational, we mean to include large reporting queries that one might do on a transactional database.
Here's a pointer to our latest Podling Report (search for the string "Trafodion"): https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/June2016 So far we have accomplished two releases: 1.3.0 and 2.0.0 (which was in discussion at the time the podling report was written). Very short-term objectives are we have a patch release 2.0.1 that needs approval. Short-term we are likely to have a Release 2.1 within the next few months. Long-term we hope to move to TLP. The biggest issue at the moment is expanding our community, as most of the developers and active committers are at one company. Our SDLC is a comprehensive branch model. We actively merge up any patches to older branches onto the latest branch. We use git for our source control. We use Jenkins to automate build and test of changes before they are committed. There is a culture within the podling of quick and thorough reviews of code changes. Small changes tend to be committed quickly while larger changes take longer. See https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafodion. We have produced a comprehensive set of documentation both of the project code itself and of the development process. The former can be found here http://trafodion.apache.org (see the Documentation tab), and the latter in our wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Apache+Trafodion+Hom e (see Trafodion Contributor Guide).
