Hi, Apache Eagle started incubation in October last year. With the whole year's tireless efforts, this podling has made great progress in delivering useful and complete features in monitoring large Apache Hadoop clusters, being open to grow community, and operating the project in Apache way.
Today with great support from our mentors and Eagle community[1][2], I would like bring the discussion of graduating Apache Eagle to top level project with proposed resolution below. The Apache Eagle community has discussed graduation for some time and prepared maturity self-assessment [3]. Also here I want to list all the facts that Eagle community has achieved during incubation so far. > Key features and framework improvement In feature wise, Apache Eagle expands from supporting HDFS audit log monitoring at the beginning to a complete spectrum of monitoring features, e.g. Apache Hadoop JMX metrics, Yarn applications, Job performance, Cluster resource usage etc. In order for supporting numerous use cases in monitoring large Apache Hadoop clusters, Apache Eagle also delivered framework artifacts to make integrating new monitoring application very easy. The framework artifacts include stream based CEP alert engine, monitoring application lifecycle management framework and flexible query language backed by Apache HBase. > Releases 2 formal releases were finished and now 0.5 release which is important milestone is in baking staging and will be out soon. > Community growth and product adoptions. 5 new committers from different companies joined Apache Eagle as committer since incubation. Now totally Apache Eagle has 14 committers. Also we are glad to see that some companies have deployed Apache Eagle as monitoring solution for Apache Hadoop clusters. > Development activities 700 + pull requests from 20 individual contributors, 800+ JIRA tickets (resolved ~600). Community has been continuously active. > Conferences We attended many conferences e.g. Hadoop summit, Strata+Hadoop world, QCon etc. to evangelize Apache Eagle's ability in monitoring large Apache Hadoop clusters and learn how to improve. Now we are going to propose the following board resolution for graduating to top level project. Resolution: Establish the Apache Eagle Project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software, for distribution at no charge to the public, related to a distributed monitoring solution for identifying security and performance issues in real time on big data platforms, including Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark etc. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Eagle Project", be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Apache Eagle Project be and hereby is responsible for the creation and maintenance of software related to a distributed monitoring solution for identifying security and performance issues in real time on big data platforms, including Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark etc.; and be it further RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache Eagle" be and hereby is created, the person holding such office to serve at the direction of the Board of Directors as the chair of the Apache Eagle Project, and to have primary responsibility for management of the projects within the scope of responsibility of the Apache Eagle Project; and be it further RESOLVED, that the persons listed immediately below be and hereby are appointed to serve as the initial members of the Apache Eagle Project: * Edward Zhang <yonzhang2...@apache.org> * Hao Chen <h...@apache.org> * Qingwen Zhao <qingwz...@apache.org> * Jilin Jiang <ji...@apache.org> * Ralph Su <ralp...@apache.org> * Jinhu Wu <jinh...@apache.org> * Daniel Zhou <daz...@apache.org> * Kumar Senthil <senthilec566.apache.org> * Dendukuri Hemanth <hdenduk...@apache.org> * Wu Michael <m...@apache.org> * Manoharan Arun <arunmanoha...@apache.org> * Gupta Chaitali <cgu...@apache.org> * Libin Sun <lib...@apache.org> * P. Taylor Goetz <ptgo...@apache.org> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Edward Zhang be appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Eagle, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed; and be it further RESOLVED, that the initial Apache Eagle PMC be and hereby is tasked with the creation of a set of bylaws intended to encourage open development and increased participation in the Apache Eagle Project; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Apache Eagle Project be and hereby is tasked with the migration and rationalization of the Apache Incubator Eagle podling; and be it further RESOLVED, that all responsibilities pertaining to the Apache Incubator Eagle podling encumbered upon the Apache Incubator Project are hereafter discharged.
