 = Storm Proposal =

 == Abstract ==

 Storm is a distributed, fault-tolerant, and high-performance realtime
 computation system that provides strong guarantees on the processing
 of data.

 == Proposal ==

 Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how
 Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch
 processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing
 real-time computation. Its use cases span stream processing,
 distributed RPC, continuous computation, and more. Storm has become a
 preferred technology for near-realtime big-data processing by many
 organizations worldwide (see a partial list at
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By). As an open
 source project, Storm’s developer community has grown rapidly to 46
 members.

 == Background ==

 The past decade has seen a revolution in data processing. MapReduce,
 Hadoop, and related technologies have made it possible to store and
 process data at scales previously unthinkable. Unfortunately, these
 data processing technologies are not realtime systems, nor are they
 meant to be. The lack of a Hadoop of realtime has become the biggest
 hole in the data processing ecosystem. Storm fills that hole.

 Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After
 7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011.
 Storm was open sourced in September 2011.

 Storm has been under continuous development on its Github repository
 since being open-sourced. It has undergone four major releases (0.5,
 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many minor ones.


 == Rationale ==

 Storm is a general platform for low-latency big-data processing. It is
 complementary to the existing Apache projects, such as Hadoop. Many
 applications are actually exploring using both Hadoop and Storm for
 big-data processing. Bringing Storm into Apache is very beneficial to
 both Apache community and Storm community.

 The rapid growth of Storm community is empowered by open source. We
 believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for
 Storm, as it provides an established process for community-driven
 development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the
 model we want for future Storm development.

 == Initial Goals ==

* Move the existing codebase to Apache
* Integrate with the Apache development process
* Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
* Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines

 == Current Status ==

 Storm has undergone four major releases (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many
 minor ones. Storm 0.9 is about to be released. Storm is being used in
 production by over 50 organizations. Storm codebase is currently
 hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git repository.

 === Meritocracy ===

 We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
 requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already
 expressed interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional
 developers to participate. We will encourage and monitor community
 participation so that privileges can be extended to those that
 contribute.

 === Community ===

 The need for a low-latency big-data processing platform in the open
 source is tremendous. Storm is currently being used by at least 50
 organizations worldwide (see
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By), and is the most
 starred Java project on Github. By bringing Storm into Apache, we
 believe that the community will grow even bigger.

 === Core Developers ===

 Storm was started by Nathan Marz at BackType, and now has developers
 from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Alibaba, Infochimps, and many other companies.

 === Alignment ===

 In the big-data processing ecosystem, Storm is a very popular
 low-latency platform, while Hadoop is the primary platform for batch
 processing. We believe that it will help the further growth of
 big-data community by having Hadoop and Storm aligned within Apache
 foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache
 communities (such as Zookeeper, Thrift, Mesos). We could include
 additional sub-projects, Storm-on-YARN and Storm-on-Mesos, in the near
 future.

 == Known Risks ==

 === Orphaned Products ===

 The risk of the Storm project being abandoned is minimal. There are at
 least 50 organizations (Twitter, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Groupon, Baidu,
 Alibaba, Alipay, Taobao, PARC, RocketFuel etc)

 == Initial Goals ==

* Move the existing codebase to Apache
* Integrate with the Apache development process
* Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
* Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines

 == Current Status ==

 Storm has undergone four major releases (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many
 minor ones. Storm 0.9 is about to be released. Storm is being used in
 production by over 50 organizations. Storm codebase is currently
 hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git repository.

 === Meritocracy ===

 We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
 requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already
 expressed interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional
 developers to participate. We will encourage and monitor community
 participation so that privileges can be extended to those that
 contribute.

 === Community ===

 The need for a low-latency big-data processing platform in the open
 source is tremendous. Storm is currently being used by at least 50
 organizations worldwide (see
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By), and is the most
 starred Java project on Github. By bringing Storm into Apache, we
 believe that the community will grow even bigger.

 === Core Developers ===

 Storm was started by Nathan Marz at BackType, and now has developers
 from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Alibaba, Infochimps, and many other companies.

 === Alignment ===

 In the big-data processing ecosystem, Storm is a very popular
 low-latency platform, while Hadoop is the primary platform for batch
 processing. We believe that it will help the further growth of
 big-data community by having Hadoop and Storm aligned within Apache
 foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache
 communities (such as Zookeeper, Thrift, Mesos). We could include
 additional sub-projects, Storm-on-YARN and Storm-on-Mesos, in the near
 future.

 == Known Risks ==

 === Orphaned Products ===

 The risk of the Storm project being abandoned is minimal. There are at
 least 50 organizations (Twitter, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Groupon, Baidu,
 Alibaba, Alipay, Taobao, PARC, RocketFuel etc)

 = Storm Proposal =

 == Abstract ==

 Storm is a distributed, fault-tolerant, and high-performance realtime
 computation system that provides strong guarantees on the processing
 of data.

 == Proposal ==

 Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how
 Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch
 processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing
 real-time computation. Its use cases span stream processing,
 distributed RPC, continuous computation, and more. Storm has become a
 preferred technology for near-realtime big-data processing by many
 organizations worldwide (see a partial list at
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By). As an open
 source project, Storm’s developer community has grown rapidly to 46
 members.

 == Background ==

 The past decade has seen a revolution in data processing. MapReduce,
 Hadoop, and related technologies have made it possible to store and
 process data at scales previously unthinkable. Unfortunately, these
 data processing technologies are not realtime systems, nor are they
 meant to be. The lack of a Hadoop of realtime has become the biggest
 hole in the data processing ecosystem. Storm fills that hole.

 Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After
 7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011.
 Storm was open sourced in September 2011.

 Storm has been under continuous development on its Github repository
 since being open-sourced. It has undergone four major releases (0.5,
 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many minor ones.


 == Rationale ==

 Storm is a general platform for low-latency big-data processing. It is
 complementary to the existing Apache projects, such as Hadoop. Many
 applications are actually exploring using both Hadoop and Storm for
 big-data processing. Bringing Storm into Apache is very beneficial to
 both Apache community and Storm community.

 The rapid growth of Storm community is empowered by open source. We
 believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for
 Storm, as it provides an established process for community-driven
 development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the
 model we want for future Storm development.

 processing. We believe that it will help the further growth of
 big-data community by having Hadoop and Storm aligned within Apache
 foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache
 communities (such as Zookeeper, Thrift, Mesos). We could include
 additional sub-projects, Storm-on-YARN and Storm-on-Mesos, in the near

= Storm Proposal =

== Abstract ==

Storm is a distributed, fault-tolerant, and high-performance realtime
computation system that provides strong guarantees on the processing
of data.

== Proposal ==

Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how
Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch
processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing
real-time computation. Its use cases span stream processing,
distributed RPC, continuous computation, and more. Storm has become a
preferred technology for near-realtime big-data processing by many
organizations worldwide (see a partial list at
https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By). As an open
source project, Storm¹s developer community has grown rapidly to 46
members.

== Background ==

The past decade has seen a revolution in data processing. MapReduce,
Hadoop, and related technologies have made it possible to store and
process data at scales previously unthinkable. Unfortunately, these
data processing technologies are not realtime systems, nor are they
meant to be. The lack of a Hadoop of realtime has become the biggest
hole in the data processing ecosystem. Storm fills that hole.

Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After
7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011.
Storm was open sourced in September 2011.

Storm has been under continuous development on its Github repository
since being open-sourced. It has undergone four major releases (0.5,
0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many minor ones.


== Rationale ==

Storm is a general platform for low-latency big-data processing. It is
complementary to the existing Apache projects, such as Hadoop. Many
applications are actually exploring using both Hadoop and Storm for
big-data processing. Bringing Storm into Apache is very beneficial to
both Apache community and Storm community.

The rapid growth of Storm community is empowered by open source. We
believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for
Storm, as it provides an established process for community-driven
development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the
model we want for future Storm development.

== Initial Goals ==

   * Move the existing codebase to Apache
   * Integrate with the Apache development process
   * Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
   * Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines

== Current Status ==

Storm has undergone four major releases (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many
minor ones. Storm 0.9 is about to be released. Storm is being used in
production by over 50 organizations. Storm codebase is currently
hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git repository.

=== Meritocracy ===

We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already
expressed interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional
developers to participate. We will encourage and monitor community
participation so that privileges can be extended to those that
contribute.

=== Community ===

The need for a low-latency big-data processing platform in the open
source is tremendous. Storm is currently being used by at least 50
organizations worldwide (see
https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By), and is the most
starred Java project on Github. By bringing Storm into Apache, we
believe that the community will grow even bigger.

=== Core Developers ===

Storm was started by Nathan Marz at BackType, and now has developers
from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Alibaba, Infochimps, and many other companies.

=== Alignment ===

 = Storm Proposal =
 
 == Abstract ==
 
 Storm is a distributed, fault-tolerant, and high-performance realtime
 computation system that provides strong guarantees on the processing
 of data.
 
 == Proposal ==
 
 Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how
 Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch
 processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing
 real-time computation. Its use cases span stream processing,
 distributed RPC, continuous computation, and more. Storm has become a
 preferred technology for near-realtime big-data processing by many
 organizations worldwide (see a partial list at
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By). As an open
 source project, Storm’s developer community has grown rapidly to 46
 members.
 
 == Background ==
 
 The past decade has seen a revolution in data processing. MapReduce,
 Hadoop, and related technologies have made it possible to store and
 process data at scales previously unthinkable. Unfortunately, these
 data processing technologies are not realtime systems, nor are they
 meant to be. The lack of a Hadoop of realtime has become the biggest
 hole in the data processing ecosystem. Storm fills that hole.
 
 Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After
 7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011.
 Storm was open sourced in September 2011.
 
 Storm has been under continuous development on its Github repository
 since being open-sourced. It has undergone four major releases (0.5,
 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many minor ones.
 
 
 == Rationale ==
 
 Storm is a general platform for low-latency big-data processing. It is
 complementary to the existing Apache projects, such as Hadoop. Many
 applications are actually exploring using both Hadoop and Storm for
 big-data processing. Bringing Storm into Apache is very beneficial to
 both Apache community and Storm community.
 
 The rapid growth of Storm community is empowered by open source. We
 believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for
 Storm, as it provides an established process for community-driven
 development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the
 model we want for future Storm development.
 
 == Initial Goals ==
 
   * Move the existing codebase to Apache
   * Integrate with the Apache development process
   * Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
   * Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines
 
 == Current Status ==
 
 Storm has undergone four major releases (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many
 minor ones. Storm 0.9 is about to be released. Storm is being used in
 production by over 50 organizations. Storm codebase is currently
 hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git repository.
 
 === Meritocracy ===
 
 We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
 requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already
 expressed interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional
 developers to participate. We will encourage and monitor community
 participation so that privileges can be extended to those that
 contribute.
 
 === Community ===
 
 The need for a low-latency big-data processing platform in the open
 source is tremendous. Storm is currently being used by at least 50
 organizations worldwide (see
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By), and is the most
 starred Java project on Github. By bringing Storm into Apache, we
 believe that the community will grow even bigger.
 
 === Core Developers ===
 
 Storm was started by Nathan Marz at BackType, and now has developers
 from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Alibaba, Infochimps, and many other companies.
 
 === Alignment ===
 
 In the big-data processing ecosystem, Storm is a very popular
 low-latency platform, while Hadoop is the primary platform for batch
 processing. We believe that it will help the further growth of
 big-data community by having Hadoop and Storm aligned within Apache
 foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache
 communities (such as Zookeeper, Thrift, Mesos). We could include
 additional sub-projects, Storm-on-YARN and Storm-on-Mesos, in the near
 future.

 = Storm Proposal =
 
 == Abstract ==
 
 Storm is a distributed, fault-tolerant, and high-performance realtime
 computation system that provides strong guarantees on the processing
 of data.
 
 == Proposal ==
 
 Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how
 Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch
 processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing
 real-time computation. Its use cases span stream processing,
 distributed RPC, continuous computation, and more. Storm has become a
 preferred technology for near-realtime big-data processing by many
 organizations worldwide (see a partial list at
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By). As an open
 source project, Storm’s developer community has grown rapidly to 46
 members.
 
 == Background ==
 
 The past decade has seen a revolution in data processing. MapReduce,
 Hadoop, and related technologies have made it possible to store and
 process data at scales previously unthinkable. Unfortunately, these
 data processing technologies are not realtime systems, nor are they
 meant to be. The lack of a Hadoop of realtime has become the biggest
 hole in the data processing ecosystem. Storm fills that hole.
 
 Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After
 7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011.
 Storm was open sourced in September 2011.
 
 Storm has been under continuous development on its Github repository
 since being open-sourced. It has undergone four major releases (0.5,
 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many minor ones.
 
 
 == Rationale ==
 
 Storm is a general platform for low-latency big-data processing. It is
 complementary to the existing Apache projects, such as Hadoop. Many
 applications are actually exploring using both Hadoop and Storm for
 big-data processing. Bringing Storm into Apache is very beneficial to
 both Apache community and Storm community.
 
 The rapid growth of Storm community is empowered by open source. We
 believe the Apache foundation is a great fit as the long-term home for
 Storm, as it provides an established process for community-driven
 development and decision making by consensus. This is exactly the
 model we want for future Storm development.
 
 == Initial Goals ==
 
   * Move the existing codebase to Apache
   * Integrate with the Apache development process
   * Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
   * Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines
 
 == Current Status ==
 
 Storm has undergone four major releases (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8) and many
 minor ones. Storm 0.9 is about to be released. Storm is being used in
 production by over 50 organizations. Storm codebase is currently
 hosted at github.com, which will seed the Apache git repository.
 
 === Meritocracy ===
 
 We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
 requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already
 expressed interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional
 developers to participate. We will encourage and monitor community
 participation so that privileges can be extended to those that
 contribute.
 
 === Community ===
 
 The need for a low-latency big-data processing platform in the open
 source is tremendous. Storm is currently being used by at least 50
 organizations worldwide (see
 https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Powered-By), and is the most
 starred Java project on Github. By bringing Storm into Apache, we
 believe that the community will grow even bigger.
 
 === Core Developers ===
 
 Storm was started by Nathan Marz at BackType, and now has developers
 from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Alibaba, Infochimps, and many other companies.
 
 === Alignment ===
 
 In the big-data processing ecosystem, Storm is a very popular
 low-latency platform, while Hadoop is the primary platform for batch
 processing. We believe that it will help the further growth of
 big-data community by having Hadoop and Storm aligned within Apache
 foundation. The alignment is also beneficial to other Apache
 communities (such as Zookeeper, Thrift, Mesos). We could include
 additional sub-projects, Storm-on-YARN and Storm-on-Mesos, in the near
 future.
 
 == Known Risks ==
 
 === Orphaned Products ===
 
 The risk of the Storm project being abandoned is minimal. There are at
 least 50 organizations (Twitter, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Groupon, Baidu,
 Alibaba, Alipay, Taobao, PARC, RocketFuel etc)
