Hi All, About one year ago, we started the discussion to donate Flink Table Store, a sub-project of Apache Flink developed for one year, into the incubator as Apache Paimon, with the purpose to build a more vibrant and neutral community [1] [2]. Since then, with the help of the incubator, we've made significant progress and achieved more than we expected for incubation. Today, besides Flink, Paimon has native support for many other engines such as Spark and Hive, and becomes a really diverse community.
Recently, after thorough discussions [3] [4], the community has voted [5] that we would like to proceed with graduation [6]. Furthermore, we'd like to call upon the Incubator PMC to review and discuss our progress and would appreciate any and all feedback towards graduation. Below are some facts and project highlights from the incubation phase as well as the draft resolution: - Currently, our community consists of 18 committers (including mentors) from ~10 different companies, with 11 serving as PPMC members [7]. - So far, we have boasted 132 contributors. - Throughout the incubation period, we've made 5 releases [2] in 12 months, at a stable pace. - We've had 3 different release managers to date. - Our software is used in production by 20+ well known entities [8]. - As yet, we have opened 1,363 issues with 1,083 successfully resolved [9] [10], including the period as a sub-project of Apache Flink. - We have submitted a total of 2,166 PRs, out of which 2,091 have been merged or closed [11]. - Through self-assessment [12], we have met all maturity criteria as outlined in [13]. We've resolved all branding issues which include Logo, GitHub repo, document, website, and others [14] [15]. We'd also like to take this opportunity to extend a sincere thank you to our mentors, for their invaluable insight and assistance with getting us to this point. Thanks a lot, Becket Qin, Robert Metzger, Stephan Ewen and Yu Li! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Establish the Apache Paimon Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to a unified lake storage to build dynamic tables for both stream and batch processing with big data compute engines, supporting high-speed data ingestion and real-time data query.
