Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Amoro proposal

+1. I'm happy to be one of the mentors.

I have discussed with Jinsong, Nathan and the team, and am impressed
by their openness and passion on improving the Amoro community through
incubation. From my observation, it's a well developed community with
a similar governance philosophy as the Apache Way. I believe joining
Apache incubator could help the community to be more vibrant and
diverse.

And personally, I think having a dedicated project with the purpose to
better manage Lakehouse is necessary. IMHO, compared to the
traditional DBMS solutions, the existing open source Lakehouse
solutions focus more on the "DB" part and lack efforts on the "MS"
part.

Best Regards,
Yu

Re: [NOTICE] Incubation Report for February 2024

2024-02-24 Thread Justin Mclean
HI,

The report_runbook.py script tells you most of what to do. A few more projects 
need t report than listed below, including some new projects that need to 
report monthly. I’ve also left the monthly properties as is.

The report_email.py script will send an email to this list with the important 
dates, and who needs to report, the report_reminders.py script will send each 
podling a reminder email.

There are some instructions here[1], but they could be improved.

Kind Regards,
Justin

RE: Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Amoro proposal

2024-02-24 Thread nathan ma
hi, JB

As co-creator of this project, I’d love to explain more about the
positioning of lakehouse management system.

When discussing databases or traditional data warehouses, we often used the
term DBMS (Database Management System) to describe them. Traditional
databases, including MPP databases, are typically considered “out-of-box”
solutions. Unlike big data systems, they don’t require various components
like compute engines, data lake formats, or metadata stores. When we need a
database management tool, lightweight options like Navicat are commonly
used.

If we further abstract the capabilities of a DBMS and map them to the
modern data stack, we find that the data read/write part of a DBMS is now
shared among different compute engines such as Spark, Flink, Trino, and
cloud-native services like Athena. Another part of a DBMS deals with data
files, index files, and metadata (also known as the information schema)
maintenance. Currently, there are successful open-source and commercial
projects dedicated to managing metadata, such as HiveMetastore,
UnityCatalog, and more recently, Gravitino. In practice, developers often
combine these projects with compute engines to optimize data files. For
example, many commercial compute engines include an optimize command.

Amoro, as a lakehouse management system, aims to encapsulate the
maintenance and management of data lake files, index files, and metadata in
a way that is transparent and easy-to-use for users. The richness of
diverse computing engines is a distinctive feature of the modern data
stack, opening up a multitude of possibilities for various application
scenarios. Additionally, concerning the part analogous to DBMS, we aspire
to have a mature system in place—one that seamlessly accommodates data
written to the lakehouse by any engine, in any manner, ensuring high data
availability across all other engines. For instance, when Flink writes to
Iceberg, Amoro’s self-optimizing mechanism ensures efficient data analysis
performance by Trino or other engines while controlling compacting costs.
Additionally, Amoro handles historical data, snapshots, and orphan file
cleanup in the background.

By positioning Amoro in this way, we aim to provide an ‘out-of-box’
experience that feels as straightforward as traditional DBMS while keeping
openness to various computing engines. At the same time, Amoro hopes to
empower data product builders with a lightweight solution that integrates
seamlessly into their modern data workflows.



Thanks.

Since it is just after the February report then we are preparing March.

These steps are needed first to catch up for missed months:
% edit content/podlings.xml if needed
% python3 clutch2.py
% python3 assign_shepherds.py --year=2024 --month=3
% python3 clutch2report.py
% svn add reports/report202403.txt
% svn ci -m ‘Prepare for March 2024 Report'
% cat reports/report202403.txt | pbcopy
Now you can create the wiki page. If you have `pbcopy` then paste that into the 
cwiki.

Please note that these runbook steps are not in a precise order.
Read the whole list and proceed logically.
Also, Justin has added some report_*.py scripts that may be shortcuts or 
additions to consider.
