Dear Community, Apex graduation was approved by the ASF board last week and the announcement went out this morning:
https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache _software_foundation_announces90 https://twitter.com/TheASF/status/724538689993474048 Congratulations everyone and we are looking forward to take it forward from here. Thanks to the ASF and especially our mentors for the support. Everyone please help promote the news! In recent weeks we had many meetup events and there is a ton of information about Apex available to get started, have a look and share it with your friends and colleagues: http://apex.apache.org/docs.html http://www.slideshare.net/ApacheApex Do help and let everyone know about the awesome capabilities of Apex. We have a lot of plans ahead and everyone is invited to help: <http://goog_175237543/> http://apex.apache.org/roadmap.html Next up will be the 3.4.0 release which will add support for anti-affinity of operators, to complement the already existing stream locality. It will also add the foundation for large state management in operators, which will make it into the join operators etc. in subsequent releases. Also in the works are several new operators to simplify development of ingest and transform pipelines (enrichment, more file formats etc.) Almost complete is the first iteration of high level Java (stream) API. We are also working on other higher level abstractions and integrations, including SAMOA, Storm compatibility, optimizations for batch, broader support for event time windowing etc. Follow @ApacheApex https://twitter.com/ApacheApex Check out upcoming meetups: http://www.meetup.com/topics/apache-apex Stay tuned for more.
