[RESULT 2nd try][VOTE] Move Chukwa to incubator

2010-07-03 Thread Bernd Fondermann
Ok, let give this a second try:

I count the following +1:
Chris Mattmann, Alan Cabrera, Bill Rowe, Bernd Fondermann (all binding),
Owen O'Malley (in process of being added to Incubator PMC)
Greg Reddin, Jerome Boulon, Leif Hedstrom (non-binding).

There were no other explicit votes cast.
However, some discussion about going directly to TLP.
Please note that the Hadoop previously voted -1 for letting Chukwa
propose for TLP.

Please check the vote result and speak up now if you disagree with the
tally and making this vote effective.
(Ideally, create new thredads.)

Thanks,

  Bernd

I believe this is best, to simply hold over the existing hadoop-related
naming, with clear indication on the web pages that this subproject is
now -incubating, reflect those on the incubator status page, for the
handful of months it takes to elevate the effort to TLP status.

We will need a chukwa-priv...@incubator.apache.org, but I think that's
about it.  But we should probably announce this [Vote] as passed, start
a second vote on gene...@incubator and gene...@hadoop permitting these
old hadoop.a.o based list addresses and website/download paths to persist.

Moving svn itself is pretty trivial, and I'd suggest we do this to make
the svn permissions simpler for incubator PMC members.

I've been suggesting it would be simpler for Chukwa to go directly to
TLP but if thats not going to happen then you have my support to
incubate if thats what they really want to do, and I agree a new vote
might making things clearer. It seems a shame to require more renaming
of mailing lists etc than necessary, another alternative could be to
just keep the existing naming that Chukwa currently uses during the
incubation and only do renaming when graduating to TLP. That avoids
one renaming and might get more IPMC votes for the proposal than it
did when using the TLP naming.

Fair point.

The naming debate is only about the location of the project in svn and
the mailing lists, right? Conducting the vote with this variable has
become more arduous than all the INFRA and site work it implies; let's
drop it. Eric, could you just change the naming in the proposal to
match the convention? Unless there are other open issues, a straight,

Bernd, would you mind conducting the next vote so that it runs to your

Just a second. (Dropping TO gene...@hadoop.a.o.)
Please don't confuse DISCUSSION and VOTE.
BTW, it's best practice for a Incubator proposal (or any other type of
initiative at Apache) to first have a DISCUSSION or PROPOSAL thread,
and then have a vote afterwards, when thread hijacking is less likely.

Welp, I think Owen is probably the best judge here since he has seen them in 
Hadoop-ville, and since he probably is way more familiar with the code and its 
eventual PMC members than I am. I'll amend my VOTE then.

+1 to Incubation, with TLP-naming (in other words, option #2). I'll try and 
join the lists and help where I can too, cycles-willing :)

Sorry, I meant to vote for option 2.  I think that it would be good to
have more visibility in before they become a TLP. They also need to
figure out how to add new committers to their project.

Re: [Result][Vote] Move Chukwa to incubator

2010-06-30 Thread Mattmann, Chris A (388J)
Hi Guys,

My recommendation would be Option #1 - I think you guys would be OK as a TLP 
with some guidance, I'm not sure the Incubator will add anything that you guys 
can't learn on your own as a TLP with some mentorship from Incubator PMC'ers or 
ASF members helping you (Owen is an ASF member and his guidance would certainly 
help out). Helping you can mean just monitoring the private@ lists (like any 
ASF member can anyways), or sitting on your PMC for 6 months, and then leaving 
afterwards, IMO. Of course those sitting on the Chukwa PMC from Incubator-ville 
and who aren't as familiar with Chukwa code should be there more to help with 
guidance on releases/etc., then to actually influence the code base.

Sorry for not getting back to you guys before now. I also want to point out 
that since I'm unlikely to be available to pick up a shovel and dig on this 
one, I don't want to block you guys doing the work. So if there is strong 
feeling for any of the other options, feel free to move forward. I think you 
guys have a great project and are closer to TLP maturity than Incubator 
community growing on this one...

My 2 cents,
Chris

Is it ok to keep hadoop naming until we graduate to TLP, hence, we only

Oh I see; sorry, I hadn't parsed that context correctly.

As the Incubator makes its decision, I just want it to be clear that
the Hadoop PMC is no better equipped to make decisions about Chukwa's
leadership or membership. All parties are trying to recover from this
oversight by recommending that Chukwa spend time in the Incubator, to
assemble a community that can discharge that responsibility. It will
likely be a brief stay; all the reasons ant cites are true, with minor
qualifications already raised.

The TLP alternative proposed (1)- adding PMC members not involved in
Chukwa's development, but influencing the project direction and
membership- seems contrary to the spirit the Incubator endeavors to
instill. It will have more autonomy in incubation and an unencumbered
life as a TLP, rather than a protracted semi-incubation period as a
"supervised TLP." -C

I agree with the analysis from Jerome and Greg. All three of Chukwa's
current committers are its original contributors. An important- and
often difficult- part of Apache community is growing and managing the
developers working on the project. Some experience adding people in
the Incubator would be valuable to members (both old and new) and
would result in a quorum less volatile than three.

Given that the team is small and renaming will be expensive and
tedious, that requirement seems purely punitive. No positive reason
for it has been raised. So I am +1 (non-binding) for option (2),

The Hadoop PMC is wholly unqualified to manage Chukwa. It voted to
recommend it to the Incubator so that it can gather a community
invested in its future and capable of meaningful consensus on the
challenges before it. Given that the very direction of the project has
been raised as an open issue, the benign neglect of the Hadoop PMC is

Re: [VOTE] Move Chukwa to incubator

2010-06-25 Thread Jerome Boulon
Hi,
As one of the initial contributor, I still think that the incubator road is the 
good one even if it's just for a short period of time.
The incubator will gives us the ability to get some committers outside of the 
initial group of people and to mature the project.

When we will have reach that point then TLP will make sense but not before that 
also the incubator road in my mind will help us in getting a better 
understanding of what our users really need;
Is it a end-to-end product or more an SDK where user can take some part and 
build their own tools/products?
I'm in favor of the SDK but this still need to be discussed/implemented.

For all of this I vote for the incubator but in order to simplify the 
transition and for our current users I would like to keep the current naming 
convention.
+1 incubator but with Chukwa's current naming convention.

/Jerome,

I don't understand. The Hadoop community released a subproject for
Incubation. The Incubator accepts or denies the proposal.
In case of denial, the ball is in the Hadoop field again isn't it?

What do the originators of the proposal think of this direction? It
sounds like they want to be a TLP, but are not sure they are yet
ready. That leaves a burning question in my mind: Why do they feel
they need the Incubator, rather than the Hadoop PMC, to help them
mature into a TLP?

I supported the Incubator proposal as it was written because I'm not
sure Chukwa is getting the mentoring they need in their current home.
I figure the Incubator is a good place to do that. I also support
using the TLP naming because I think the Incubator can give them the
mentoring they need and set them on their way in good time, and I'd
like to avoid an extra renaming step. I would support what Bill has
suggested if it was put to a vote, and honestly, I can't really say if
one direction is preferable over the other. So, for now, I still
support the proposal that has been put to a vote.

Yes, it seems that Hadoop PMC should supervise the vote for the chair, with
a slightly frustrating cc list of all of the actual committers to chukwa.
That way, nominations and votes for chair are archived on a private list.

But the Incubator doesn't just say yes/no.  We can refer this back to Hadoop
proposing this as a TLP, and even offer the list of mentors as observers, or
members of the initial PMC.

Group of proposed committers/actual contributors (it is existing code, there
is svn history of who committed).

If that's the incubator's preference, I don't object, but I'm waiting for more
than five people to be heard on this point of contention.  You strongly want
one option, ant strongly wants another, and we've heard few other voices.

I'm still +1 to do proper Incubation.

Hrm.

I think my preference is for 1 or 2. Given that Chukwa already has a
fair bit of infrastructure up and running, seems like fewer renames is
better and would reduce user confusion.

Well folks, it's a fun debate and all, but it isn't helping bring this
vote to a conclusion :)

Is anyone in agreement with ant?  Otherwise we should just move ahead
and can hold a separate vote on allowing tlp resource creation at this
time.

If the proposers want (Eric?) a three choice vote, 1. recommend TLP with
guides to help the initial pmc, 2. accept incubating with tlp resource
naming, but -incubating release naming, or 3. accept incubating requiring
all incubator naming conventions, that might help the incubator simplify
this decision.

At this point, I personally guess that 1. might be the most sensible in
terms of resource creation and management; it would simply require the
group to vote for an initial chair/VP.  If they are unsure of their group
yet, perhaps one of the other mentors would offer to serve as their chair
for the first six months, if they rather would do that?

Most projects that come to incubate would likely prefer to go straight
to the TLP naming.

The last time i recall this came up was here:
http://apache.markmail.org/message/ifinvq7wqmeoo5ix

IMHO we should insist on using the incubator naming for the Chukwa
website/svn/MLs because I think Chukwa should just go directly to a
TLP and if they have to use the incubator naming it may help them
decide that the direct to TLP route really is better ;-)

This translate for me into:
Chukwa didn't have proper oversight by a PMC (a committee that is, not
a single person) at Hadoop.
Incubation would fix this using established processes.
I think this is the right track, and the people involved, including
the Hadoop PMC, ultimatively did the right thing.
(Except for not simply growing the Hadoop PMC over time to include
committers from every product.)

Ok with me, at least as far as MLs or SVN are concerned.
However, Chukwa must be aware that it is changing PMCs from Hadoop to Incubator.
So different rules might apply, like marking release artifacts as "-incubating".
Let's gather some more feedback on this.

Re: [VOTE] Move Chukwa to incubator

2010-06-22 Thread Eric Yang
Besides DOAP file and the incubator nomenclature, I may need help identify
the addition responsibilities for Apache PMC.  One problem, Chukwa community
did not have a vote for PMC Chair because we are not sure what is the right
process for this.  Meanwhile, I have been writing quarterly report like any
other Apache project, only recipient of the report is different.

Chukwa releases have been voted by Chukwa community which is similar to
Hadoop releases, and managed incremental changes using patches and
committers.  Code audit has been performed by the committers to ensure we
don't bring in license incompatible libraries into Chukwa.

Owen O'Malley had trained us these procedures roughly two years ago, and we
have been executing the same process ever since.

Chukwa has a community of exist user base of 35 people.  It would be nice to
make Chukwa a special case to skip incubator nomenclature.  This would ease
the migration path for the existing Chukwa community.

It seems to me that it would save everyone some work if they went
straight with the TLP nomenclature. If they only need a short time in
the Incubator to learn how to be a PMC, then maybe the Incubator
nomenclature is not necessary and just creates more work for infra,
PMC, and users when they graduate.

Maybe simpler, but better?
I've only been involved in this process since yesterday or so, but I
trust those who set out going the Incubator road.
And the project doesn't loose anything with following it, even if it's a detour.
The Incubator has more eyeballs than any other PMC and has tools to
prepare projects to go TLP.
We have far more projects eager to go TLP ASAP without properly
preparing their PMCness than those openly saying we want to learn how
to do it right first.

IIUC, the only issue right now is that the committers are hesistant to
go TLP because they've never been on a PMC before.

If that is the desire of the incubator, to refer this project to a TLP,
I'm happy to serve on that pmc for the first 6 mos - 1 yr, whatever it
takes for the project to become comfortable with all of the aspects.

Note these committers were not hadoop pmc members, in fact it was this
disjoint arrangement that pointed out the need to fork this subproject
into its own entity, under the direction of its own community.

I'm not totally convinced by that reasoning, wouldn't it be simpler to
just go directly to TLP and have those listed here as mentors agree to
help out by being on the initial PMC?

If it does incubate what would be delaying its graduation? Its already
got everything we list in the incubator docs - diverse committers,
done several releases etc.

The current proposal doesn't use the incubator naming for the mailing
lists and svn location, from past discussions here it should really be
using the incubator naming unless its a very special case. Is this a
special case?

It's best practice to post the full proposal to the list, to have a
snapshot archived.

Chukwa Proposal

Abstract

Chukwa is a log collection and analysis framework base on Hadoop Map/Reduce.

Proposal

Chukwa will develop a open source data collection system for
monitoring large distributed systems. Chukwa is built on top of the
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Map/Reduce framework and
inherits Hadoop’s scalability and robustness. Chukwa also includes a
flexible and powerful toolkit for displaying, monitoring and analyzing
results to make the best use of the collected data.

Background

Apache Hadoop, lacks a good procedure to monitor and troubleshoot
large distributed systems. Chukwa was initially developed at Yahoo Inc
headed by Mac Yang, Sunnyvale in 2008. Chukwa was designed as a
reference implementation for monitoring large distributed system on
top of Hadoop. Since 2009 major parts of the development comes from
Internet community contribution. Chukwa is current a Hadoop
subproject.

Rationale

The maintainers and developers of Chukwa are interested in joining the
Apache Software Foundation top level project for several reasons:

* Apache provide a great community for open source software
development environment.
* It might open the door for sharing ideas or cooperation with
other Apache projects, such as Avro and Hadoop.
* Chukwa would like to benefit from Apache's infrastructure.

Initial Goals

Though the bulk of Chukwa initial development is complete and the
framework is running stable, there are still some large areas for
future development. Some area we hope to focus on in Apache:

* Improve Chukwa Demux map/reduce Job
* Refine automated log analysis algorithms
* Remove dependency on relational database for reporting

Current Status

Meritocracy

The initial developers are very familiar with meritocratic open source
development, both at Apache and elsewhere. Apache was chosen
specifically because the initial developers want to encourage this
style of development for the project.

Community

Chukwa is used in many organization which are interested in the
advancement of the Chukwa development. Many of these have at least one
developer that joined the Chukwa mailing list and so the mailing list
is the most important communication platform. The Chukwa community
encourages suggestions and contributions from any potential user and
developer.

Core Developers

The initial set of Chukwa committers includes folks from the Hadoop
communities. We have varying degrees of experience with Apache-style
open source development.

Alignment

Chukwa is a framework for Apache Hadoop. This is why Apache Hadoop is
the most important dependency for Chukwa. And Chukwa is also a
particularly good fit for Apache due to integration potential with
other projects specifically Avro and Log4j.

Known Risks

Orphaned products

Most of the active developers would like to become Chukwa Committers
or PMC Members and have long term interest to develop/maintain and use
the code.

Inexperience with Open Source

Chukwa was started as an open source contribute project to Hadoop in
2008. Many of the committers have experience working on open source
projects and there are also at least one developer which has
experience as committer on other Apache projects.

Homogenous Developers

As mentioned above, the current list of committers includes developers
from at least two different companies plus many independent
volunteers.

Reliance on Salaried Developers

At this time, many of the code comes from different companies like RAD
Lab. Because RAD Lab is a research facility, many of the work is done
by students working on their diploma thesis.

Relationships with Other Apache Products

At this time, the only dependency to other Apache projects is Apache
Hadoop. When dependency on relational database is removed, Avro will
become the standard serialization framework for Chukwa.

A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

The Chukwa project exist quite successful on their own and could
continue on that path with no problems at all. We expect the Apache
top level project brand could help to increase the visibility of the
project and so maybe more developers could be interested in the
project.

The problem is that none of the Chukwa PMC members have been on any
Apache PMCs before. My belief is that having training wheels for a bit
would be a good thing.

And the podling's committee itself seeks the extra guidance as they become
a self-managing committee, so the mentors all agreed with this proposal.
If anything, it makes checking off the graduation matrix much simpler as
they are already committers, we already have the IP vetting when the code
came into Hadoop.  We should obviously re-review the grants and trademark
assignments during incubation.

Hey Guys,

Chukwa has been around for a while now and from my (albeit limited) impression, 
pretty successful. What's the rationale for going the Incubator route rather 
than putting up a Board TLP resolution? Just wanted to check, thanks guys!
