Hi all, The Sentry community has discussed[1] and voted upon[2] graduation as a TLP. Now we would like to get feedback from the incubator before we can start a formal vote on general@. I have put down a summary of the community and the project below. And we have also filled out the Sentry maturity assessment document[3] for your reference.
The Sentry community and project has made significant progress during its time in incubation. From fine grained access control to just Hive, the project has evolved to enable storing/managing policies and enforcing the rules for other Hadoop access methods like Solr, Impala, HDFS, MapReduce, Sqoop, and soon Kafka. Each of these integrations collaboratively driven by multiple Apache project communities. Other highlights: - We have many new contributors (~20) who have contributed to the project during the time of incubation, among which ~8 became committers for their long term contributions. - We have made 5 Apache releases, which were driven by 5 different release managers. - We have a diverse set of PMCs from different organizations(~15) and we have passed the vote to make all current committers(8) be PMCs[1]. To simplify logistics, we propose this take effect at the time of graduation. - We have active mailing lists, JIRA tracking to facilitate communication in the community. And we also have a monthly high bandwidth communication mechanism (hangouts) which facilitate the design discussions.
