HAWQ

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

2018-07-18 — in the Incubator's report

HAWQ is an advanced enterprise SQL on Hadoop analytic engine built around a
robust and high-performance massively-parallel processing (MPP) SQL engine
evolved from Greenplum Database.

HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

    Nothing at this time.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?

     Nothing urgent at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. Conference Talks :

* HAWQ for data scientists,  Shanghai CIO forum (Speaker: Lei Chang,  June
23, 2018)


2.  "Graduate Apache HAWQ (incubating) as a TLP" discussion was started:

The followings is the content of the thread:

With the 2.3.0.0-incubating release officially out, the Apache HAWQ
community and its mentors believe it is time to consider graduation to the
TLP:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b4a0b5671ce377b3d51c9b7
ab00496a1eebfcbf1696ce8b67e078c64@%3Cdev.hawq.apache.org%3E

Apache HAWQ entered incubation in September of 2015, since then, the HAWQ
community learned a lot about how to do things in Apache ways. Now we have
a healthy and engaged community, ready to help with all questions from the
HAWQ community. We delivered four releases including two binary releases,
now we can do self-driving releases in good cadence. The PPMC has
demonstrated a good understanding of growing the community by electing 12
individuals as committers and PPMC members. The PPMC addressed the maturity
issues one by one followed by Apache Project Maturity Model, currently all
the License and IP issues are resolved. This demonstrated our understanding
of ASF's IP policies.

All in all, I believe this project is qualified as a true TLP and we should
recognize this fact by formally awarding it such a status. This thread
means to open up the very same discussion that we had among the mentors and
HAWQ community to the rest of the IPMC. It is a DISCUSS thread so feel free
to ask questions.

2017-07-19 — in the Incubator's report

Apache HAWQ is a Hadoop native SQL query engine that combines the
key technological advantages of MPP database with the scalability
and convenience of Hadoop. HAWQ reads data from and writes data
to HDFS natively.  HAWQ delivers industry-leading performance and
linear scalability. It provides users the tools to confidently
and successfully interact with petabyte range data sets. HAWQ
provides users with a complete, standards compliant SQL
interface.

HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards
graduation:

1. Continue to improve the project's release cadence. To this
   end we plan on expanding automation services to support
   increased developer participation.

2. Continue to expand the community, by adding new contributors
   and focusing on making sure that there's a much more robust
   level of conversations and discussions happening around
   roadmaps and feature development on the public dev mailing
   list.

3. Starting with Apache HAWQ 2.2.0.0 release, the project will
   expand release artifacts to include the delivery of
   convenience binary artifacts. We expect the project to
   significantly refine the binary release process in several
   key areas. The team is limiting scope to HAWQ Core and PXF
   components.  The appropriate LICENSE, DISCLAIMER and NOTICE
   files are included in the binary release artifacts.

   FYI: The team has decided to move Ranger (optional
   component) support into a subsequent binary release. It
   remains supported in the source release.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need
to be aware of?

   Nothing urgent at this time.

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

1. Nothing urgent at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. Two Meetups took place in Beijing, China:

   * HAWQ Meetup (January 12, 2017)

     - HAWQ2.X New Features - Yanqing Wen, Pivotal HAWQ Senior
       Engineer
     - HAWQ Elasticity - Huan Zhang, Pivotal HAWQ Senior Engineer
     - Data Lake and HAWQ Integration - Wenbin Lu, EMC Big Data
       Senior Engineer

   * HAWQ Meetup (March 23, 2017)

     - Apache HAWQ Exploration Step by Step - Configuration, Build,
       Deployment and Debug by Xiang Sheng, Pivotal Software
       Engineer
     - Transaction Management in Apache HAWQ by Ming Li, Pivotal
       Senior Software Engineer
     - Max Compute - A SQL engine based on Apache HAWQ by Chen Xia,
       Database Expert in Alibaba Cloud

2. A significant push by the dev community has been made to review
   and merge the project's Pull Requests (PR). As of March 30, 2017,
   eight of the nine open PRs have been opened in the last ten
   days. The PR opened on Sep 2016 is targeted to be merged after
   the Apache 2.2.0.0 release.

3. Community contribution highlight(s):

   * Leveraging the extensible PXF design, a JDBC PXF plugin
     was contributed by Devin Jia (github id: jiadexin). This
     contribution came from the community and not from the
     company which originally donated HAWQ to the ASF.

4. Recent porting efforts:

   - Persistent Systems Engineers are actively engaging the dev
     community on their HAWQ porting efforts to RHEL 7.1 on S390
     platform.

   - Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus) porting notes have been
     published on dev list.

aware of?

Everything seems to be smooth, nothing urgent at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. One HAWQ Nest community meeting (topic: Data Federation with Apache
   HAWQ Using the PXF Extension Framework)

Justin Erenkrantz:

  There has been good progress on improving the licensing situation
  (HAWQ-271) as well as conversations about what it means to be a
  contributor (yielding
  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HAWQ/Becoming+a+committer).
  All good and healthy so far.

Konstantin Boudnik (cos):

  Same comment as for Geode: the report is almost copy-cut from one another
  (if not in the letter, but in the spirit). Did you guys had anything worth
  mentioning besides of new features and bug fixes? Like Justin mentioned
  above - that what is very important for the project development.

Apache HAWQ is a Hadoop native SQL query engine that combines the key
technological advantages of MPP database with the scalability and
convenience of Hadoop. HAWQ reads data from and writes data to HDFS
natively.  HAWQ delivers industry-leading performance and linear
scalability. It provides users the tools to confidently and successfully
interact with petabyte range data sets. HAWQ provides users with a complete,
standards compliant SQL interface.

HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Produce our first Apache Release
2. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and adding new
   contributors
3. Infrastructure migration: create Jenkins projects that build HAWQ
   binary, source tarballs and docker images, and run feature tests
   including at least installcheck-good tests for each commit (HAWQ-127).

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

Everything seems to be smooth, nothing urgent at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. All core contributors/committers have started working on Apache
   repository
2. One HAWQ Nest community meeting (topic: HAWQ architecture introduction)
3. Both user & dev community show increasing interests. In Nov, there have
   been 438 messages on dev@ and 75 on user@, compared with 357 messages
   on dev@ and 21 messages on user@ in Oct.

How has the project developed since the last report?

1. Main features/improvements added include:
   a) Support HA for libyarn [HAWQ-38]
   b) Dynamic statement level resource usage [HAWQ-47]
   c) Support Kerberos for libyarn [HAWQ-51]
   d) Dependent component version upgrade & Bug fixes & documentation
      improvement
2. First release has been proposed and most issues have been finished (115
   issues resolved in the release). (<http://s.apache.org/T3P>)
   Left thing is to do the PPMC & IPMC voting)
3. 85 new JIRAs filed, 74 resolved (In Nov 2015)

evolved from Pivotal Greenplum Database.

HAWQ has been incubating since 2015-09-04.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Produce our first Apache Release
2. Finalize infrastructure Migration and ICLAs from committers
3. Expand the community, increase dev list activity and adding new
 committers/pmc members

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

We have only just started the incubation, everything seems to be starting
up, nothing urgent at this time.

How has the community developed since the last report?

This is our first report, after having been approved for incubation roughly
2 wks ago.

1. Most of the core contributors have completed their ICLA's and have
 established apache ids.
2. Several presentations and meetups at ApacheCon EU and Strata aimed at
 growing interest in the project
3. Formal announcements from Pivotal and press briefings related to the
 move of the project into Apache aimed at growing awareness and interest
 in the project.
4. Outreach to parties that have expressed interest previously in our open
 source initiatives
5. Still very much at the early stages of community development, we're just
 starting to get rolling.

How has the project developed since the last report?

This is our first report, after having been approved for incubation roughly
2 wks ago.

1. Initial code drop has been provided to Apache
2. Core infrastructure has been setup including: mailing lists, git, jira,
 wiki, website
3. 62 messages on our developer list, 3 messages on our user list
4. 16 jiras filed, 10 open, 1 reopened, 4 resolved, 1 closed - 1 issue

5. 7 commits in total, including initial commit
6. Most discussed items on the mailing list:
  - addressing issues with getting jira configured to allow issues to be
    assigned to users
  - discussion of usage of alternate communication channels, e.g. chat.
  - discussion of RTC vs CTR models for dev process

Date of last release:

We have not had a release yet.

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

Most of the initial list of committers have been onboarded, but there are
