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.

Last addition was Molly Gao on 2023-06-06. ## Project Activity: - 1.4.0 is in progress and plan to release on June - 1.3.1 was released on 2023-09-18 - 1.3.0 was released on 2023-07-25 - 1.2.0 was released on 2023-05-02 - 1.1.0 was released on 2023-01-04 ## Community Health: - One discussion still in the dev channel is deprecating helix-front, which is the UI support. As Helix has limited UI expert and CVE usually comes from this component. - Recent dev work focus on container based support such as redefining instance operation types. - Helix 2.0 topic will be raised up for boarder discussion. High level direction is to 1) simplify Helix APIs for usage 2) multi language support and 3) better flexibility and data model for better performance.
## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, moderate Issues for the board: Limited UI experts for UI support. Due to role of product and lack of experts in UI, we are thinking of deprecating UI support. ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Jiajun Wang on 2022-11-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Molly Gao on 2023-06-06. ## Project Activity: - 1.3.1 was released on 2023-09-28 - 1.3.0 was released on 2023-07-25 - 1.2.0 was released on 2023-05-02 - 1.1.0 was released on 2023-01-04. - 1.0.4 was released on 2022-06-09. ## Community Health: Overall activities: - 82 commits in the past quarter.(12% increase) - 14 code contributors in the past quarter (16% increase) - Closed all issues which have not updated from 2022 as they are either non-critical or even logic outdated. Would like to share some update for following topics: 1. Release Current release is onholding for completion of the feature. The feature was supporting operations in Helix like draining partitions, 1-1 instance swaps. We would like to give user an unified experience in API instead of breaking things in the middle. Some changes will be completed in this quarter and move forward for releasing. 2. UI issues We do encounter an problem mentioned in issue section. We had limited contributors in UI. And ALL CVE issues are coming from UI. It is hard for us to maintain the UI. In addition, UI is just a nice to have product. We are thinking to deprecate the support. 3. Next gen of shard management Existing Helix is heavy and complicated. It is not user friendly to most of lightweight use cases. We are in planning of proposing some lightweight version in Helix and making sure it converging with Helix with leverage. 4. Other continuous improvments - Fixing unstable tests - Adding container world support features and so on.

Instance evacuate support: gracefully bootstrap data to new instances and remove the partition from the old one. 2. Swap instance support: smoothly bootstrapping all replicas to new instance and deprecate the old instance, which is transparent to user. Additionally, there are several ongoing discussion about Helix logging in Helix slack channel. For next quarter, continuously improvement on evacuate need to be done: 1. Standardize the operation states including evacuate, disable and etc. 2. Transactionally get evacuated partition assignment align with eventual assignment to avoid multi round shuffling. A new release of 1.4.0 will come soon.

Ondemand partition rebalance - completed 2. Node evacuation partition from a target node - completed 3. Node 1:1 partition swapping - in progress Next target for the coming quarter: The Helix REST have management API for users to do fleet management, including health check, customized check, parallel instance pre stop, etc. But now the REST has performance issue with fanout querying Zookeeper. It can lead regular shard management to slow reading ZK data. Concrete target: 1. Improve Helix REST service with caching + ZK notification 2. Improve management APIs usability including cross fault zone parallel pre instance stop, more flexible customized check. 3. Node auto populate toplogical information.

The motivation to support this project is to let Helix can use any customized underneath storage with certain APIs implementation due to Zookeeper performance limitation. Related data: 182 commits in the past quarter (59% increase) 16 code contributors in the past quarter (33% increase) At the same time, we are actively fixing unstable tests with closing CI triggered tickets creation. Related data: 76 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter (181% increase) dev@helix.apache.org had a 25% increase in traffic in the past quarter The next focus is the operation optimization asked from Apache helix slack channel including: 1. Node smooth evacuating partitions. 2. 1 to 1 partition movements from old node to new node. All these two operations respect the N -> N + 1 -> N replicas rule. ------------------------------------------------------ End of minutes for the August 16, 2023 board meeting.
## Description: The mission of Helix is the creation and maintenance of software related to A cluster management framework for partitioned and replicated distributed resources ## Project Status: Current project status: ongoing, moderate Issues for the board: no major issue As the board is interested in more details, here is what Helix targeted recently: Helix is the framework focusing on managing large data systems. When the data onboards cloud, more container maintenance/deployment can lead Helix to believe instances lost. Active moving around partition data is not a proper solution. Helix now is trying to build a smart solution to guarantee data movement smooth ## Membership Data: Apache Helix was founded 2013-12-17 (10 years ago) There are currently 28 committers and 18 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members.

Stabilize the integration test. So we saw see the CI failure rate going down 212 commits in the past quarter (216% increase) 14 code contributors in the past quarter (40% increase) 2. More discussion from users actually in Helix slack. We got several questions from some company teams such as Uber, Pinterest. 3. Cloud support development. As mentioned above, Helix is trying to develop a smart partition movement. Helix will bootstrap a new replica to a new assigned instance. Once it bootstrapped, Helix started dropping the old one. This require a lot of effort since we need to handle different edge cases and rearchitect parts of Helix. Related to this, we have several items: 1) fix N replica -> N + 1 issue 2) support one stop operation to evacuate host and 3) support better deployment delay on partition movement. ------------------------------------------------------ End of minutes for the July 19, 2023 board meeting.

Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used to build
distributed systems and provides automatic partition management, fault
tolerance and elasticity.
Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14.
We feel that we are ready for graduation and have started the discussion
internally. We need to update the status page with new committers and also
resolve trade mark.Our processes are continuing to improve and adoption is
increasing both inside and outside of LinkedIn.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
- NONE
How has the community developed since the last report?
- Added Kanak Biscuitwala as a committer
- Receiving external contribution in developing JavaScript bindings for
Helix (see https://github.com/sudowork/node-helix-participant)
- Steady activity on the mailing list
How has the project developed since the last report?
- Making progress on 0.7.0, a release that examines and rethinks every
interaction that Helix exposes to increase ease of use. We hope to
release this month.
- Introduced new coding style guidelines, and simplified the code review
process with new scripts
- Increased documentation of the development process on JIRA pages
- Actively populating the developer wiki and increased the amount of
documentation on the project website
- Received a patch integrating Helix with YARN, to automate management of
YARN containers.
Date of last release:
2013-05-30 (0.6.1-incubating)
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
- Kanak Biscuitwala (committer) - 2013-09-20

A very solid project on the clear path to graduation.
Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used to build distributed systems and provides automatic partition management, fault tolerance and elasticity. Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14. We feel we are good to graduate, we have had two smooth releases and are working on next release 0.6.2 soon. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? - NONE How has the community developed since the last report? -- Added 2 committers Shirshanka Das( LinkedIn) and Vinayak Borkar (UC Irvine) -- Good activity on mailing list. -- Increase in adoption of Helix outside of LinkedIn How has the project developed since the last report? -- Released 0.6.1-incubating with lot of new features. -- Issues: 54 created, 25 resolved -- Next release 0.6.2 will focus of api refactoring without adding major features.

They have cut few releases, are engaging well with contributors and voted in two new committers. Its a small group with activity on the low end but the diversity is decent enough and podling seems to be ready for self-governance. If the project decides to graduate, it might be advisable for one or two mentors continue through for a little while.
Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used to build distributed systems and provides automatic partition management, fault tolerance and elasticity. Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Add new committers. 2. Grow community. 3. Better documentation to increase adoption. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? - None How has the community developed since the last report? There has been significant increase in the activity since last report resulting in good discussions on the mailing list. How has the project developed since the last report? We had our first Apache Incubator release in January and we are in the process of making another release shortly. Lots of new features and bug fixes added. - Issues +58 issues created, 35 resolved. - Additional features to be part of 0.6.2-incubating release -- Standalone Helix agent -- Task execution recipe -- Task scheduling and support for custom re-balancer. - S4 integration with Helix in progress.

Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used to build distributed systems and provides automatic partition management, fault tolerance and elasticity. Helix has been incubating since 2012-10-14. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Make a release, taking longer than expected. Lack of Apache process experience in making releases apart from mentors. 2. Develop user community and increase adoption. 3. Come up with tutorial/use cases where Helix can be used out of the box. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? - users +2 - little activity on user mailing list. Hopefully release should help. - Current integration -- S4. -- In talks with Archiva, Bigtop on potential integration.
