The Accumulo community decided to draft the Apache community reports on the Accumulo dev list – and this is a draft of the April report for review / comments. The report is due by Wednesday, July 10th. The text below is copied from the reporting tool and may not reflect the final formatting of the final report when submitted.
Ed Coleman --- begin report text from report tool --- ## Description: The mission of Apache Accumulo is the creation and maintenance of software related to a robust, scalable, distributed key/value store with cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. ## Project Status: - Current project status: Ongoing with high activity. - Issues for the board: None. ## Membership Data: Apache Accumulo was founded 2012-03-20 (12 years ago) There are currently 42 committers and 39 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. It is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the same time. The difference between committers and PMC members is because some PMC members have elected to go emeritus. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Daniel Roberts on 2023-08-08. - No new committers. Last addition was Daniel Roberts on 2023-08-10. ## Project Activity: Accumulo is currently working on some significant development efforts. - Improving the performance and stability of the 2.1.x line - Adding new features and performance improvements to 3.1 line - The evolution of the processing model to support dynamic scaling and provide elasticity. ### Releases: - accumulo-1.10.4 was released on 2023-11-16. - accumulo-2.1.2 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-3.0.0 was released on 2023-08-21. - accumulo-access-1.0.0-beta was released on 2024-02-17. The Accumulo 1-10.x line reached end-of-life and Accumulo-1.10.4 is the final release. The vote thread can be found at [1] Release activity for a 2.1.3 release has started. A pre-release RC-0 vote started on 2 July 2024. (The pre-release vote is to validate the release process before formal releases are created.) Work on 3.1.0 and future elasticity branches remain very active. ### Other: During the past quarter, Accumulo had an opportunity to perform at-scale testing. There were a number of minor issues that were resolved and incorporated into 2.1.3 and future release branches. Overall, the testing successfully validated scalability and performance improvements and demonstrated the stability of new Accumulo features at scale. ## Community Health: Overall community health is good and GitHub activity remains consistent. The email traffic reflects the community preference of using GitHub projects and issues for planning and PRs for code discussions. We also use our slack channel for day-to-day communications. We continue to use the mailing list for official Apache business and remains a channel for users to contact us. ## Links [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/6jy0v0qk14163xx19ocz4l3xxc1rzr3z [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/5tlykw1o5rcz5vps5gz4vo1o7kjnpsld
