>>> === Inexperience with Open Source ===
>>> DataTorrent has embraced open source software by open sourcing Malhar
>>> project under Apache 2.0 license. The DataTorrent team includes veterans
>>> from the Yahoo! Hadoop team. Although some of the initial committers have
>>> not been developers on an entirely open source, community-driven project,

>>> guidance and collective wisdom to quickly transition the entire team of
>>> initial committers towards practicing the Apache Way. DataTorrent is also
>>> driving the Kafka on YARN (KOYA) initiative.
>>> 
>>> === Homogeneous Developers ===
>>> While most of the initial committers are employed by DataTorrent, we have
>>> already seen a healthy level of interest from our existing customers and
>>> partners. We intend to convert that interest directly into participation
>>> and will be investing in activities to recruit additional committers from
>>> other companies.
>>> 
>>> === Reliance on Salaried Developers ===
>>> Most of the contributors are paid to work in the Big Data space. While
>>> they might wander from their current employers, they are unlikely to
>>> venture far from their core expertises and thus will continue to be engaged
>>> with the project regardless of their current employers.
>>> 
>>> === Relationships with Other Apache Products ===
>>> As mentioned in the Alignment section, Apex may consider various degrees
>>> of integration and code exchange with Apache Hadoop (YARN and HDFS), Apache
>>> Kafka, Apache HBase, Apache Flume, Apache Cassandra, Apache Accumulo,
>>> Apache Tez, Apache Hive, Apache Pig, Apache Storm, Apache Samza, Apache
>>> Spark, Apache Slider. Given the success that the DataTorrent RTS product
>>> enjoyed, we expect integration points to be inside and outside the project.
>>> We look forward to collaborating with these communities as well as other
>>> communities under the Apache umbrella.
>>> 
>>> === An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===
>>> While we intend to leverage the Apache ‘branding’ when talking to other
>>> projects as testament of our project’s ‘neutrality’, we have no plans for
>>> making use of Apache brand in press releases nor posting billboards
>>> advertising acceptance of Apex into Apache Incubator.
