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. hbase-kustomize is for deploying HBase on kubernetes, still under development. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: There is a request from the trademarks team about missing the 'TM' superscript for some web pages on hbase.a.o. The issue has already been resolved. ## Membership Data: Apache HBase was founded 2010-04-21 (14 years ago) There are currently 104 committers and 59 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4. Community changes, past quarter: - Bryan Beaudreault was added to the PMC on 2023-10-17 - No new committers. Last addition was Hui Ruan on 2023-09-15. ## Project Activity: 2.5.7 was released on 2023-12-24. hbase-connectors-1.0.1 was released on 2023-10-27. 2.5.6 was released on 2023-10-20. We have cut branch-2.6 and started to prepare the 2.6.0 release. There were some discussions around the hadoop versions we want to support https://lists.apache.org/thread/rt2ht8xmmr9vp77trsbs1db6f90pbpm8 We decided to follow the hadoop community, move the minimum hadoop 3 support to 3.3.x, but for hbase-2.x, we still have support for 2.10.2, though there are some CVEs. We upgraded zookeeper dependencies to 3.8.x in a patch release due to some CVEs, and it should be much less hurt than upgrading hadoop. https://lists.apache.org/thread/pbjfs75kpkd3y9dcydhmr2lotnv72s8w There will be a HBase meetup in India. https://lists.apache.org/thread/n8bb8tzghcxgg7w8fd80542fo9x6mmr9 ## Community Health: d...@hbase.apache.org: 960 subscribers(958 in the previous quarter) 420 emails sent to list(360 in the previous quarter) user@hbase.apache.org: 1986 subscribers(1988 in the previous quarter) 31 emails sent to list(39 in the previous quarter) user...@hbase.apache.org 77 subscribers(78 in the previous quarter) 17 emails sent to list(19 in the previous quarter) - JIRA activity: 108 issues opened in JIRA, past quarter (-36% change) 75 issues closed in JIRA, past quarter (-32% change) - Commit activity: 464 commits in the past quarter (20% increase) 40 code contributors in the past quarter (-4% change) - GitHub PR activity: 160 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (4% increase) 145 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (no change) The community is overall healthy. It is Chrismas so recently the numbers decreased a lot. We have cut branch-2.6 and planned to put up 2.6.0 release candidate soon. And the vote for 3.0.0-beta-1 is ongoing.
