The Hive subproject has voted to become a TLP

Does the Hadoop community have any questions or concerns on this? I will be calling a more formal vote after this discussion.

The Hive dev community is still dominated by Facebook but the community is working hard to diversify the base and hopes to add committers from Yahoo and Cloudera. We anticipate that we will have a more diversified base by the end of the year modulo contributions from developers at these entities - and there are a fair bit in the pipeline.

Thanks,

Hive seems a distinct developer community from Hadoop and thus deserves
to be a separate project.  It has made releases and appears to have met
the requirements expected of a TLP.  3+ organizations are represented on
its PMC, so while diversity is a concern, there seems to be a will to
address this going forward, so I feel a detour through the Incubator is
not required.

I think this is a reasonable direction. Hive clearly has a strong user-
base and is a distinct community.
