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.

Apache Phoenix had its last main release 5.2.1 on 2024-11-12.

5.2.2 release is planned for early spring, pending the release of HBase 2.6.2
and 2.5.11 which will significantly reduce our transitive CVE exposure.

In the past quarter:
* Landed several improvements to the Change Data Capture feature:
 * PHOENIX-7500 Add PARENT_PARTITION_ID to SYSTEM.CDC_STREAM table's composite
   pk
 * PHOENIX-7473 Eliminating index maintenance for CDC index
 * PHOENIX-7469 Partitioned CDC Index for partitioned tables

* About a dozen other commits: smaller features, bugfixes, build and
  dependency changes

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good. We have released a new maitenance release,
and major feature work continues on the CDC feature. Most of the development
is still done by our core team of about a dozen active developers.

Activity has decreased this quarter, some of which is due to the festive
season and the increased activity related to the 5.2.1 release at the end of
the last quarter.

## Community Health:
Overall community health is good. We have landed several new features, some of
which were started well before this quarter. We have received valuabale
contributions from a new contributor to the Spark connector. We have worked
with the Trino community to address their security concerns, and with the
HBase project on API compatibility issues. Most of the development is done by
our core team of about a dozen active developers, but we do receive
outside contributions and some new developers are getting up to speed with the
project.

After a lull in the previous quarter, activity is close to the average of the
last few years for the quarter.

compatibility with the current python protobuf libraries.

Active Development is going on Phoenix High Availability Feature
which enables it to connect to a pair of HBase clusters
supports disaster recovery.

Development to migrate log4j to log4j2 is completed.

Work to remove the Ttephra transactional system from Phoenix is going on as
Tephra has old dependencies having high score CVEs and Apache attic libraries
like Twill as there is no interest from the community to contribute to Tephra.

Completed development of dropping support for HBase
versions 2.1 and 2.2 from Apache Phoenix
as they were already EOL'ed a long time back.


## Community Health:

Phoenix community continues to remain active,
 though sometimes most of the contributions
and discussions come from a few individuals.

The reporting tool complaining about -24% decline of

discussion/reviews on the priority JIRAs/PRs related to
new feature development of Phoenix High Availability,
cleanup the EOL'ed HBase versions like 2.1,2,2 and 1.x
and test case failures etc.

We had a -61% decline in commit@ and closed PRs(-21%) in

## Project Activity:

Apache Phoenix had its last main release
5.1.2 on 2021-06-07, And we recently discussed cutting out another major
release 5.2.0 soon.

We dropped the support of HBase versions 2.1 and 2.2 from Apache Phoenix as
they were already EOL'ed a long time back and also did not support our new
implementation of global indexes, which are fully consistent.

We also released phoenix-thirdparty 2.0.0 on 2022-04-19 to update the Guava
and common-cli versions.

We discussed removing HBase 1.x support from Apache Phoenix and Omid in
subsequent releases. It will avoid backporting the fixes in multiple branches
and maintaining shim layers.

We recently discussed switching Phoenix on log4j2 from EOL'ed log4j1 and also
to get compatible with Hbase 2.5, which supports log4j2 only.

## Community Health:

Phoenix community continues to remain active, though sometimes most of the
contributions and discussions come from a few individuals.

There is a decline in traffic on user@ by 12%. Some of the discussions on the
user@ list could get offset by the new users who are not aware of the mailing
list and approaching other community sites supported by Vendors or other
question/answer websites.

We had a -24% decline in dev@ and -42% in issues@phoenix.apache.org due to
less discussion/reviews on the JIRAs/PRs owing to more minor fixes than
significant feature development in the last quarter.

We  did more commits(+53%) and closed more PRs(+5%) with 8% increase in code
contributors.

## Project Activity:

Apache Phoenix had its last release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07,
And we are dedicatedly making progress for our next releases
5.1.3 and 4.16.2


None of our released artifacts were affected by the recent
severe log4j2 vulnerability(CVE-2021-44228) as we were using
log4j1 in all our repositories except one where we had log4j2
as test dependency for phoenix-hive connector but it has also been
taken care of. However, this reminded us that there are still a few
critical vulnerabilities with our current log4j1 and we
are in process of replacing it with "reload4j" to
fix a few of the urgent CVEs. Though the long term plan is
to eventually move on to the latest version

We will be releasing Phoenix-thirdparty soon to bump the
commons-cli and Guava version

We reached the consensus of dropping the support of
Apache Tephra(a podling adopted 2 years ago )
from Phoenix due to a lack of interest from
the community to maintain it.

We are seeing interest and receiving code contributions
to support spark3 for Phoenix-connector.



## Community Health:
The community activities had been declining for the last
3 quarters after our major release 5.1.0, as more efforts
are spent on stabilizing the releases, rather than taking
up major features.

Traffic on dev and user list continues to decline from
the last few quarters by 24% and 12% respectively, and
the same trend is seen for code commits and new JIRAs.
though on a positive note we closed more JIRAs
then we opened this quarter and we have a steady
rate of code contributors

## Project Activity:
* Apache Phoenix had its last release 5.1.2 on 2021-06-07,
And we are in process of preparing release candidates for
5.1.3 and 4.16.2 which will have fixes for around 45+ issues.

* We have released the Python PhoenixDb-1.1.0 on 2021-08-27,
which introduces new APIs to access metadata for
primary key and indices and improve our ORM support.

* HBase 1.3 support has been dropped from Phoenix as this version was
already EOL'ed by the HBase community on 2020-08-23. This will
also help us in reducing our efforts in maintaining its compatibility
module for every change.

* Phoenix Tech Talk event held on 2021-10-07 detailing the process on how to
change data format online without service disruption.

## Community Health:

The community activities had declined in the last 2 quarters
after the major release of 5.1.0, as we continue to focus on
stabilization with maintenance releases rather than taking up
the mega features.

Traffic on dev list is reduced by 54% ,the number of Commits
had declined by 36% and PRs by 14% as compared to last quarter, we closed only
47(40% less) JIRAs with 14 code contributors (56% less). Though, we see a
slight increase(5%) in traffic on the user list.

We also recognize that there is no PMC and committer added
in the last 5 months. Hence, we will take this as an action item and
evaluate the new contributors more frequently.

HBase 2.4.

* Python PhoenixDb 1.1.0 release planning is in progress which
will provide better ORM support with APIs to access metadata for
primary key and indices.

* Phoenix Tech Talk event held on 2021-07-01 to share how to achieve
additional availability for Phoenix queries with multiple clusters.

* Discussion on dropping support for EOL HBase 1.x didn't reach to
consensus because of less participation from the community though
the discussion is expected to be revived soon.

## Community Health:
* The community activities had reduced from the last quarter
owing to more work on stabilization of the releases than
many new features.

* Traffic on dev list was almost steady the but the number of Commits
had declined by 21% and PRs by 35% but we manage to reduce
some backlog by closing more JIRAs than we opened(70/59) with
28% more contributors

runtime which will save some developer's efforts on backporting features
 to multiple branches that are based on different HBase and Java runtime.

* Discussion on splitting our core module into server and
client module to avoid conflicting with the libraries in
runtimes that are not consistent at server and client.

we extend our thanks to all who have sincerely arranged the event
and actively participated in the talks.

## Community Health:

* Community activities got cool down after the enormous work done initially
 for the two major releases.

* There is an increase in traffic on the user mailing list(+225%) owing

## Project Activity:
Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20.
And, now the RCs of our mainstream branches 4.16.0 and 5.1.0
is up for the voting. Which will support Apache HBase
versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

we released phoenix-thirdpary-1.1.0 on 2021-02-01 and,
also made the first release of Apache Omid 1.0.2 on
2020-11-23 and Apache Tephra 0.16.0 on 2020-12-03 after
their adoption in Phoenix.

We are discussing having Phoenix Tech talks/meetup every
month to share knowledge and discuss new ideas within
the community for improvement and growth.

Discussion on dropping the support of EOLs Apache HBase
versions (1.3, 1.4, 2.1) in the next release, to reduce
efforts on maintenance of multiple compatibility modules
and save build/infrastructure time as well.

Due to the lack of community support on nurturing
Phoenix connectors for PIG and Flume and without
exhaustive testing before release, we are considering
marking them as unmaintained in the upcoming phoenix release.


## Community Health:
Phoenix community continues to remain engaged with
multiple releases and code contributions.

We had closed more PRs/JIRAs than we opened, our commit
activity had also improved, and there were 44% more
code contributors than the previous quarter.

Our interactions on the user list steadily declining QoQ,
though we saw substantial growth in the traffic on
issues(+100%) and dev list(+23%) in the last quarter.

## Project Activity:

Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20.
And, we were able to resolve maximum blockers for our
next 4.16.0 and 5.1.0 releases but there are still some
dependencies on the release of other projects. We are
actively working towards it and expecting an RC soon.
Thanks to RMs of these branches who are diligently
tracking the progress.

We had our very first major release of PhoenixDB 1.0.0 on 2020-09-18.
It's our native Python driver for accessing Phoenix via query server.

Phoenix-thirdparty 1.0.0 was released on 2020-10-26 to encapsulate
Guava library in Phoenix. It was done to avoid
conflict with the incompatible versions
present in different Hadoop runtime for Phoenix.

We are also working towards the first time release of
Omid and Tephra after the adoption of these projects
under the Apache Phoenix PMC.

Build jobs were migrated on new Cloudbees infra
and started using Yetus to validate new contributions.
we appreciate the committers who worked on it.

## Community Health:
We observe a steady flow of issues being created and resolved,
and interactions continue to be active on mailing lists and PRs.

The trend of traffic on the user list continue to decline QoQ from the last
few years, though more activity is observed on our dev list
this quarter.

Even though the number of active contributors has declined by 23%,
we were able to resolve 7% more issues from last quarter and
our average resolution time has also improved by 32%.

PMC has not received any nomination in the last quarter
for the new committers or PMCs, however, we should take this
as an action item again and evaluate contributors more frequently.

2020-08-19 — Ankit Singhal

## Description:
The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to
High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency
applications

## Issues:
No issues to report to the board at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (6 years ago)
There are currently 51 committers and 33 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Istvan Toth was added to the PMC on 2020-07-06
- No new committers. Last addition was Gokcen Iskender on 2020-02-07.

## Project Activity:
* Apache Phoenix had its last release of 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20.
And, since then we have been actively working towards for our next 4.16.0
 and 5.1.0 release. Current work is to bring some fixes in
parity between both the release lines.

* We are also figuring out a plan to do the release of adopted Apache
projects(Omid, Tephra) and started preparing for the first release of our
 derived repos phoenix-connectors and phoenix-queryserver.

 * Phoenix PMC took over the ownership of pypi account of PhoenixDb
and started preparing a release of our python-based phoenix driver
for the first time after adopting PhoenixDb through code donation.

* We had a discussion to make our binary release of 4.x branches on Java8
but had to defer it again, due to the dependency on HBase runtime
which can still run on JDK 1.7.

* To avoid conflict with guava version in a user runtime, a new repository
phoenix-thirdparty was created to keep the shaded version of guava so that all
downstream phoenix modules and public APIs can refer it
consistently.

* We also appreciate the committers who identified and
fixed the time-consuming tests to improve our overall build efficiency
so that new fixes can be verified faster and reduces some friction
for the new contributors.

## Community Health:
Phoenix continues to be an active and growing community. With
new contributors and active committers, there is always a
continuous flow of reviews and commits happening.

We have not added any new committers in the last half year though as PMCs ,
we did evaluate few contributors but noone stand out at that time,
but we will take this action item again and be more frequent in evaluating
and nominating new contributors.

There is a slight drop(-15%) of traffic on our dev mailing list from last
quarter, though the traffic on user mailing list and number of active
contributors are holding steady.

We have seen an improvement in resolution time of issues in this quarter
by 25% and our created-to-resolved ratio is still 4:3.

I may be missing some statistics as community health metrics
is not available(or not complete as it used to be) on the
reporter tool so had to extract few of these manually.

## Description:
The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to
High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency

## Issues:
No issues to report to the board at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (6 years ago)
There are currently 51 committers and 32 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Ankit Singhal was appointed as a new PMC chair on 2020-04-15.
- Kadir Ozdemir was added to the PMC on 2020-02-25
- No new committers. Last addition was Gokcen Iskender on 2020-02-07.

## Project Activity:
- We had our last release of Phoenix 4.15.0 on 2019-12-20. Now, we have a RM
  for our next 4.16.0 release and there is also an active development going on
  our another parallel release line for 5.1.0 release.

- All our connectors which are required by third party libraries to access
  Phoenix data are moved to a separate repo so that they can evolve with
  newer versions of these libraries and can be released independently.

- I'm also happy to report that some committers had also taken up work to
  improve our build system, have put extra efforts in simplifying the code and
  consolidating branches to reduce friction for the new contributors.

- we are also working towards bringing our python connector in parity with other
  connectors to accommodate non-java users who are more comfortable in
  writing applications in Python.

## Community Health:
We have not added any new committers in the last quarter though as PMCs,
we have taken this as an action item to continuously work towards
evaluating and nominating new contributors.

There is a consistent drop on our user mailing list year over year and this
quarter we also observe a slight drop on our dev list . However, our number of
active contributors have increased and issues created-to-resolved ratio has
improved to 4:3.

## Project Activity:

Following up from the previous report, I'm happy to report that both the
former podlings Omid and Tephra have been successfully "adopted" under
the Apache Phoenix PMC. The PMC voted to grant committership to all
PPMC who desired it, transitioned all infrastructure (e.g. Jira projects,
Git repositories) under the Phoenix role, and did some basic updates
to our public facing user-documentation to make sure our users can be
aware of how these (now) sub-projects will continue to exist at the ASF.

I'm also happy to report that Phoenix 4.15.0 was released in December. As is
normal, we are also approaching a 4.15.1 bug-fix release in that release line.
Activity on the 4.x release line continues at the usual cadence thanks to the
dedicated work of the committers.

On the 5.x release line, we were largely blocked because upstream Apache
HBase changes caused us some API and runtime compatibility issues. Thankfully,
after some more discussion on the matter, we got traction by a developer to
chase down the problem and implement a solution. At this point, we are largely
unblocked to work towards a long-overdue 5.1.0 release.

## Community Health:

We've added 7 new committers since our last report which is fantastic. We have
not, however, added any new committers. We should take this as an action item
as a project.

I find the mailing list traffic largely status quo; user lists have a drop
year-over-year but the dev and issues list have an increase of a similar
percentage magnitude year-over-year. In general, I observe a steady stream of
user questions and developers created and resolving Jira issues.

2019-11-20 — Josh Elser

## Description:
The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to
High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency
applications

## Issues:
No issues for the board at this time.

## Membership Data:
Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (5 years ago)
There are currently 44 committers and 31 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- Chinmay Kulkarni was added to the PMC on 2019-09-09
- No new committers. Last addition was Kadir Ozdemir on 2019-05-30.

## Project Activity:
Business as usual for the community overall.

We continue to have active development on the 4.x and 5.x release lines. There
was an rc0 for a 4.15.0 release which is the next-up release to be had. The
5.x line still needs an owner to step up and drive a release cadence.

There was a suggestion that the Omid and Tephra podlings graduate into
sub-projects of the Apache Phoenix PMC. This suggestion was made as both Omid
and Tephra have integration into Phoenix and provide some direct, end-user
value. Both podlings were struggling to retain active podling memberships.
The Phoenix community voted in favor of this graduation for both podlings, and
all podling members who request it will be made Apache Phoenix committers.

At this point, the 72hr lazy-consensus/notice on general@incubator to perform
this double-podling subproject graduation has passed. VP-Phoenix and podling
mentors need to sync and make a plan to start combining these resources.

## Community Health:
Developer (dev/issues) mailing list traffic is down slightly, but user mailing
list traffic is actually up over the past quarter. We continue to see an up-tick
in the use of Github pull requests over patches on Jira (which may be related
to the change in dev/issues traffic volume). As a project, continuing to ensure
that Github-based code contributions are being integrated is ever more
important.

In general, we continue to see the same developers participating, with a
reasonable number of new contributors to keep the committer pipeline active.

2019-08-21 — Josh Elser

## Description:
The mission of Phoenix is the creation and maintenance of software related to
High performance relational database layer over Apache HBase for low latency
applications

## Issues:
No issues at this time!

## Membership Data:
Apache Phoenix was founded 2014-05-20 (5 years ago)
There are currently 44 committers and 30 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Chenglei on 2019-04-09.
  + New PMC member(s) under vote presently.
- Kadir Ozdemir was added as committer on 2019-05-30

## Project Activity:
The community continues to have two active release lines: 4.x and 5.x.

Since the last report, 4.14.2 was released and a 4.14.3 has its second release
candidate out for a vote now.

The 5.x release line has slowed since the initial 5.0.0 release. There was
interest expressed in both 5.0 and 5.1 releases happening, but there is still
significant progress required to get to a first release candidate for either.
One impediment around the 4.x and 5.x release lines was ensuring that code
changes make it to all relevant release branches. This continues to be an
operational challenge for Phoenix as supporting a wide breadth of
compatibility for Apache Hadoop and Apache HBase versions is challenging.

This challenge is constantly being worked. For example, one community member
took the time to re-vamp our automated testing on the ASF Jenkins which now
shows largely passing test results, whereas the test results were essentially
noise (no meaningful data could be parsed from the job output).

On top of release stabilization, we can also be proud of a new significant
feature (PHOENIX-5156 on ASF Jira) which took roughly 6 months to design,
iterate, and commit. This is the hallmark of continuing innovation in Phoenix,
rearchitecting one of the major enticing features of Phoenix to be more stable
for our users.

## Community Health:

Phoenix continues to be an active community with a strong core committership.
Mailing list traffic, Jira issue activity, and commits are up (at least
double-digit percents) over the last quarter.

We did have a rather negative thread[1] on our user list since the last report
in which a number of users expressed dissatisfaction with Phoenix. It is
frustrating to have individuals come to your project's list, ultimately
soliciting "what should I use instead?". Perhaps this is a good reminder to
take a step back and make sure we are doing enough as a community to help make
those who are not committers successful. However, as with all internet-based
communities, I'm sure there are some hyper-critical individuals on our lists
who aren't looking for a solution from Phoenix.

### How has the community developed since the last report?

1. Lars Hofhansl returned as a mentor.
2. A new release 1.0.1 was done that contains optimizations and bug fixes
for the integration with Apache Phoenix.

### How has the project developed since the last report?

Release 1.0.1 was published and includes optimization to Omid that inferred
from the integration with Phoenix. These features mostly improve the
performance of Omid, however, some are bug fixes that revealed by the
integration with Phoenix while pushing Omid to its corner cases.

## Description:
  - Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for Apache
    Hadoop

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
  - Continuing an excellent stream of new committers and PMC members (details
    below). Two more committers have been confirmed via a VOTE but are pending
    acceptance and clerical tasks to complete the addition.
  - 4.14.2 is nearing completion. RC0 was voted on, but did not pass.
  - 5.0.1 is getting close to an initial vote, but has some
    stabilization/cleanup work yet to do. Appears to be naturally queueing up
    after 4.14.2 nicely.
  - A community event ("NoSQL Day"), focusing on Accumulo, HBase, and Phoenix
    is scheduled for May 21st in Washington, D.C. We have half a dozen Phoenix
    specific talks accepted on the agenda for the event.

## Health report:
  - Nothing notable to report. Trends are continuing per normal. Influx of
    "new blood" is a boon to the community, reflected in a good number of
     commits and reviews by "old" community members.

## PMC changes:
  - Currently 30 PMC members.
  - New PMC members:

Integration with Apache Phoenix was over, we are currently working on
optimisation.

How has the project developed since the last report?

1. Release 1.0.0 was published and includes all the Phoenix required
features.
2. The Apache Phoenix code that uses Omid was committed and currently
Omid serves as Phoenix transaction processor.
3. We are currently working on a minor release in Omid, 1.0.1, that
includes optimization to Omid that inferred from the integration with
Phoenix.
These features mostly improve the performance of Omid, however, some
are bug fixes that revealed by the integration with Phoenix while pushing
Omid to its corner cases.
We will start the release process in a few days. Jiras 124 - 135 will
be part of the release.

   Comments:  I don't see any of the issues listed under "Three most
important issues to address in the move towards graduation" as blockers for
graduation.  The community has done multiple releases and added one
committer.  Development is slow but consistent.  I do not believe the
community has done a name search yet to make sure Omid is acceptable.
AFAIK that is the only blocker for graduation.  I've given this feedback to

How has the community developed since the last report?

New committer, Yonatan Gottesman, was added to Omid’s community. Yonatan
is very active and contributed to the integration with Phoenix.
Moreover, Yonattan implemented the low latency version of Omid which is
currently part of release 1.0.0.
Integration with Apache Phoenix will be ready in a few days, early
December.

How has the project developed since the last report?

The vote for major release 1.0.0 passed successfully in the incubator
general list. This release includes all the Phoenix required features.
The release is currently being deployed to Nexus and a formal
announcement of the release will be send shortly.
Omid and Apache Phoenix integration is at its final stage. Omid release
1.0.0 includes all Phoenix required features, therefore, from the Omid
side, the integration with Phoenix is over.
The Phoenix code is also ready and currently located in a feature branch
that will be merged in a few days.

   Hadoop

## Issues:
 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
 - One release since last report: 4.14.1. The release was approved by the PMC
   and is in the process of being released today (2018/11/14)
 - Lars H. (PMC) organized a Phoenix Meetup for 2018/11/14 in San Francisco,
   CA to be a general community-driven discussion. Notes will be taken and
   posted to the dev-list for those unable to join physically and remotely.
 - We've not added any new committers or PMC, but do have on-going discussions
   as to who we want to invite for each. These threads need to be bump'ed.

## Health report:
 - Activity remains relatively flat. Contributions and user-interactions
   remain relatively consistent.

## PMC changes:
 - Currently 27 PMC members.
 - New PMC members:
    - Pedro Boado was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018
    - Vincent Poon was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018

## Committer base changes:
 - Currently 36 committers.

   to be identified.

2018-09-19 — as Omid, in the Incubator's report

Omid is a flexible, reliable, high performant and scalable ACID
transactional framework that allows client applications to execute
transactions on top of MVCC key/value-based NoSQL datastores (currently
Apache HBase) providing Snapshot Isolation guarantees on the accessed data.

Omid has been incubating since 2016-03-28.

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

1. Get new committers.
2. Finish integration with Apache Phoenix.
3. Get positive feedback from other projects currently in Apache.

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

N/A

How has the community developed since the last report?

1. Integration with Apache Phoenix is at its final stage.
2. New active contributor, Yonatan Gottesman.

How has the project developed since the last report?

1. Release 0.9.0 was released on June 10.
2. Omid low latency [OMID-90] committed to a feature branch.
3. Omid and Apache Phoenix integration is at its final stage. The Omid
version for the integration is located at feature branch
phoenix-integration. This feature branch will be the next release candidate
that will start a release process in a few weeks.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

   Comments: A criterion for graduation is adding at least one committer
   to the project.  So I believe "Community building" would be a more
   accurate assessment of your podling's maturity.

   Comments: I've updated the community assessment to "Community building"
   based on Alan's feedback. Once a new committer is added to the project
   (which will happen soon), then we can update to "Nearing graduation".

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Dave Fisher: This podling thinks they are near graduation, but has never
added any new committers/PPMC members. Not so sure. I sent a message to the
podling about this.
Alan Gates:  This is my fault.  See email thread
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html413e06bde2263f2f56797e871b256ec1584f8c5
41fdc5e96857b13f5@%3Cdev.tephra.apache.org%3E where I started pushing them
towards determining their future direction.  I assumed they had added
additional PPMC members without checking.  I can take this feedback back to
them and help them work through this.
James Taylor: I've updated the community assessment to "Community building"
based on the above feedback.

2018-08-15 — Josh Elser

## Description:
  - Apache Phoenix enables SQL-based OLTP and operational analytics for Apache
    Hadoop

## Issues:
  - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
  - Two major release: 4.14.0 and 5.0.0. The former targeted HBase-0.98 and
    1.x major release lines, the latter targeted HBase-2.0.
  - Post 4.14, we've decided to stop releases versions of Phoenix that support
    HBase 0.98 and 1.1 releases as the HBase project has made a similar
    decision on creating more releases of those versions.
  - Created a new mailing list, issues@phoenix, to reduce overall traffic to
    dev@phoenix.
  - Held PhoenixCon on June 18th in San Jose, California, USA concurrently
    with HBaseCon (same day, same space). We had roughly 150 people in
    attendance at the events, with 10 Phoenix-specific talks given. Feedback
    was overall positive. Recordings are available at
    https://phoenix.apache.org/phoenixcon-archives.html for those who were
    unable to physically attend the event.
  - We've added two new PMC members and one new committer since our last
    report.

## Health report:
  - Things largely remain the same for the project. As HBase continues to
    evolve into newer versions, it requires us to do the same in Phoenix. We
    have continued activity in the project and I believe things look OK for
    the future.
  - Continuing to support and grow new contributors is a challenge.

## PMC changes:
  - Currently 27 PMC members.
  - New PMC members:
     - Pedro Boado was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018
     - Vincent Poon was added to the PMC on Thu Jun 07 2018

## Committer base changes:
  - Currently 36 committers.
  - Ohad Shaham was added as a committer on Fri Jun 08 2018

## Releases:
  - 4.14.0 was released on Fri Jun 08 2018
  - 5.0.0 was released on Sat Jul 14 2018

## Mailing list activity:
  - List activity is largely consistent with previous months. There is a
    slight down-tick in volume to users@phoenix.

   Comments:  Sent following email to dev list after reading this report:
It seems development on Tephra has slowed quite a bit lately, with only 7
JIRAs filed during the last 3 months.  I know Tephra is used in other
projects, like Apache Phoenix.  Is this slowdown temporary?  Is development
slowing because Tephra is mature and only maintenance is now required?  Is
it continuing to be picked up by new projects or only used in 1 or 2
places?  I ask because it feels like it is near time for Tephra to graduate
(it's been incubating for over 2 years now) and what needs to be done to
graduate is somewhat determined by the answers to these questions.

- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
 - Released 4.12.0 and 4.13.0 in the last three months
 - Ongoing work to support HBase 2.0 with good collaboration between
   HBase and Phoenix communities
 - Dropping support for HBase 1.1 and HBase 1.2 after discussion due
   to lack of interest/need (no one volunteered to be RM).
 - Continuing HBase 0.98 support for another couple releases, but
   moving toward maintenance-only mode.

## Health report:
 - The project is healthy and continues to grow as users look for easy
   ways to gain insight over and manage their ever-increasing Hadoop
   data through standard SQL and JDBC APIs.

## PMC changes:
 - Currently 25 PMC members.
 - Sergey Soldatov was added to the PMC on Mon Oct 02 2017

## Committer base changes:

2017-09-20 — as Omid, in the Incubator's report

Omid is a flexible, reliable, high performant and scalable ACID transactional
framework that allows client applications to execute transactions on top of
MVCC key/value-based NoSQL datastores (currently Apache HBase) providing
Snapshot Isolation guarantees on the accessed data.

Omid has been incubating since 2016-03-28.

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

  1. Boost project dissemination in the Apache community.
  2. Collaborate/integrate Omid with other Apache projects.
  3. Get positive feedback from other projects currently in Apache.

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

Alan Gates:

  I'm concerned about this podling.  The last commit was on August 15.
  Discounting broadcast and reminders, there have been no emails on
  the dev list since October, and there were only 3 that month.  I've
  sent email on the dev list asking if people are still actively
  involved.

  last period for this podling.

2014-05-21 — in the Incubator's report

Phoenix is an open source SQL query engine for accessing NoSQL data
stores such as Apache HBase. It is accessed as a JDBC driver and
enables querying and managing HBase tables using SQL.

Phoenix has been incubating since 12/11/2013.

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

  1) Continue to make our users successful and prove the value of
     Phoenix+HBase over other alternatives.
  2) Continue to attract new users, contributors, and committers to the
     project.
  3) Become the defacto standard for accessing data stored in NoSQL stores.

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

  No

How has the community developed since the last report?

  Both dev and user traffic is strong on the mailing list (780 and 187 mail
  messages respectively). Work is underway by an engineer from Huawei to
  add a new secondary indexing strategy called local indexing to Phoenix.
  James Taylor gave a talk on Apache Phoenix at ApacheCon. Eli Levine and
  James Taylor gave a talk on Phoenix at HBaseCon. James will also give a
  talk at Hadoop Summit. Good discussions took place at the HBase
  Hackathon on how to commonize the type system between Phoenix, HBase,
  Hive, Impala, and Kite, as well as on how Continuity's transaction support
  (soon to be open sourced) may be plugged into Phoenix. An interesting
  discussion is underway on how Phoenix can be leveraged to get SQL
  support for the Apache Accumulo project.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * Second release has been completed on 4/3/2014
  * Third release has been completed on 4/4/2014
  * Gabriel Reid was elected as a committer on 4/8/2014

Phoenix is an open source SQL query engine for Apache HBase, a NoSQL data
store.  It is accessed as a JDBC driver and enables querying and managing
HBase tables using SQL.

Phoenix has been incubating since 12/11/2013.

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

  1) Make our customers successful and prove value of Phoenix+HBase over
     other alternatives
  2) Attract new committers and continue to get contributions from existing
     committers to the project
  3) Figure out a bundling strategy with HBase so that Phoenix is
     pre-installed in HBase distributions.

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

  No

How has the community developed since the last report?

  Continued growth of user/dev traffic on email list. James Taylor is giving
  a talk on Apache Phoenix at ApacheCon.

How has the project developed since the last report?

  * First release has been completed.
  * Vote is in progress on general list for our second and third releases.
  * Work in parallel on next point releases has already begun.

Date of last release:

  March 13, 2014

When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

  No new committers or PMC members, but a discussion has begun to add a new

Shepherd/Mentor notes:

  John Ament (johndament):

    Phoenix is a newer podling, however they are growing quite fast.  While
    there were some release issues, those were resolved quite quickly on the
    general list and new releases cut quickly.  Based on this I would
    strongly recommend that the podling consider graduation sooner than
    later.  Most of their status report is complete as well.

The below is informational for the IPMC (no need to forward the board):

We've been waiting for our Github issues to be imported into our Apache
JIRA but it is taking a while. We're considering doing the import
ourselves, as we're starting to see duplicate JIRAs and continue to have
to point users back to our old Github issues.
