Hi all, HBase submits a report to the ASF board once a quarter, to inform the board about project health. I'm sending the report to the user@ and dev@ mailing lists because you are the project, and for transparency. If you have any questions about the report or the running of the project, you can post them to any PMC member or committer, or send an email to priv...@hbase.apache.org, which every PMC member subscribes to.
## Description: Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database. Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of rows with millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware. hbase-thirdparty is a set of internal artifacts used by the project to mitigate the impact of our dependency choices on the wider ecosystem. hbase-connectors is a collection of integration points with other projects. The initial release includes artifacts for use with Apache Kafka and Apache Spark. hbase-filesystem contains HBase project-specific implementations of the Apache Hadoop FileSystem API. It is currently experimental and internal to the project. hbase-operator-tools is a collection of tools for HBase operators. Now it is mainly for hosting HBCK2. hbase-native-client is a client library in C/C++, in its early days. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Apache HBase was founded 2010-04-21 (13 years ago) There are currently 101 committers and 57 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Xiaolin Ha on 2022-04-06. - Liangjun He was added as committer on 2022-11-29 - Rushabh Shah was added as committer on 2022-12-06 ## Project Activity: Recent releases: 2.5.2 was released on 2022-12-03. hbase-thirdparty-4.1.3 was released on 2022-11-15. 2.4.15 was released on 2022-10-28. 2.5.1 was released on 2022-10-28. hbase-thirdparty-4.1.2 was released on 2022-10-10. We finally find a way to publish binaries and artifacts compiled with hadoop3. The guys from the Phoenix community confirmed that the solution worked perfectly. And the Hudi project could also be benefited. https://lists.apache.org/thread/y05gspk4mnxsz6nk7hc5ots8wt50366b https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27434 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27442 https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/4917 The self registration of jira.a.o had been closed by infra team due to spam, unfortunately HBase uses jira for issuing track. After discussion, we decided to let users send a request email to private@hbase and let PMC members to request a jira account for the contributor. We also changed our readme page to mention this change. https://lists.apache.org/thread/vgy1n8brdoxqg9qs7752hg8otjcnhyoz https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27513 ## Community Health: - Mailing list activity: d...@hbase.apache.org: 956 subscribers(952 in the previous quarter) u...@hbase.apache.org: 1987 subscribers(1994 in the previous quarter) user-zh@hbase.apache.org 78 subscribers(77 in the previous quarter) - JIRA activity: 128 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-46% change) 120 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-42% change) - Commit activity: 413 commits in the past quarter (-28% change) 42 code contributors in the past quarter (-14% change) - GitHub PR activity: 132 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-42% change) 126 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-48% change) We now have more than 400 invididual contributors(401 till now) on the github statistic page! The development activity was still decreased. This is partly because we are still waiting for the final features to be landed on master and branch-2, i.e, the replication improvements and backup support, so we can cut branch-3 and branch-2.6 and start to making 3.0.0 and 2.6.0 release. Hope we can cut these two branches in the next quarter and make more releases.
