[RESULT] RE: [VOTE] as to Thrift Proposal

2008-02-18 Thread Upayavira
Okay, although I didn't start this vote, as one of the proposed mentors,
I'd like to close it.

So, we had 17 binding +1 votes, and no 0 or -1 votes, and one non
binding vote.

Therefore, I declare this vote a success. 

Welcome, Thrift, to the Apache Incubator.

We can now start setting up infrastructure (mailing lists, SVN, jira,
eventually web space), and start the process of gathering ICLAs.

I'll try to get the lists set up today or tomorrow (and I'll do CouchDB
at the same time). 

Regards, Upayavira

It looks like 72 hours have passed since this vote thread started and
all responses seem to be positive, which needless to say is great to
see.

Any last objections? Shall we consider this VOTE thread concluded?

If so, let us know how we should proceed with next steps, and we'll
start reaching out to patch contributors regarding CLAs, etc.

Cheers,

= Thrift Proposal =

== Abstract ==
Thrift is a framework for efficient cross-language data  
serialization, RPC, and server programming.


== Proposal ==
Thrift is a software library and set of code-generation tools  
designed to expedite development and implementation of efficient and  
scalable backend services. Its primary goal is to enable efficient  
and reliable communication across programming languages by  
abstracting the portions of each language that tend to require the  
most customization into a common library that is implemented in each  
language. Specifically, Thrift allows developers to define datatypes  
and service interfaces in a single language-neutral file and generate  
all the necessary code to build RPC clients and servers.


== Background ==
Thrift was initially developed at Facebook starting in 2006 to power  
RPC and data logging for a number of backend services for the site,  
such as Search and News Feed. The package was designed for open  
source, and was released in early 2007. Since then, a number of other  
developers have submitted patches to the project and become de facto  
owners of major parts. Support for many languages has been developed  
entirely outside of Facebook.


== Rationale ==
The need for high performance, reliable communication across  
different programming languages seems to be growing more and more  
common in modern programming, particularly when writing software for  
the web. Historically, this problem has forced developers to  
standardize on one language/framework or adopt heavier-weight  
systems, such as CORBA or SOAP. These systems tend to make tradeoffs  
that aren't always ideal for the use case. SOAP, for example, may be  
ideal for calling across disparate web services, but is unnecessarily  
verbose for service calls on an intranet.


Most of these systems also require developers to learn the  
particulars of their type systems, especially when dealing with  
containers or objects. One of the primary goals of Thrift is to allow  
developers to program across languages while still using the standard  
idioms and style in each language. Custom type systems also makes  
code reuse more difficult. Thrift allows developers to avoid creating  
unnecessary wrapper interfaces by operating directly on native types.


== Initial Goals ==
Though the bulk of Thrift's initial development is complete, there  
are still some large areas for future development. Some areas we hope  
to focus on in Apache:


 * Better log storage/replay
 * Meta-data serialization
 * Higher-performance serialization, standard C extension model  
across Python/PHP/etc.
 * Extending the abstraction to a multi-client that can fan-out  
across multiple servers


== Current Status ==
=== Meritocracy ===
Though initial development was done at Facebook, Thrift was intended  
to be released as an open source project from its inception. Since  
release, many developers have adopted the framework and submitted  
significant patches. Large portions of the codebase are now managed  
by those most familiar with and responsible for them. Any potentially  
controversial change is discussed on the public mailing list (http:// 
lists.pub.facebook.com/mailman/listinfo/thrift/) and good suggestions  
are frequently implemented.


=== Community ===
Thrift is currently in use across a number of organizations, and we  
expect this to grow as Thrift becomes a relevant and useful tool for  
building more open source projects.


=== Core Developers ===
Thrift currently has developers across many organizations (e.g.  
Facebook, Powerset, ReCaptcha, AmieStreet), many of whom are  
contributors to other open source projects.


=== Alignment ===
Thrift is designed to integrate cleanly with other projects. We think  
this is a particularly good fit for Apache due to integration  
potential with other projects, specifically Hadoop/Hbase.


== Known Risks ==
=== Orphaned Products ===
Thrift is already deployed into production at multiple large websites  
that are frequently iterating on the featureset. There's no realistic  
chance of it becoming orphaned.


=== Inexperience with Open Source ===
The project has already been open source for nearly a year and has  
attracted many developers already. Part of the reason to join Apache  
is to make the project work even better as open source by removing  
some obstacles, such as Facebook hosting the SVN, and putting the  
resources all in a truly open space, being able to have more  
committers, etc. Most of the core developers have a history of  
working with open source tools.
