[VOTE] Pig to become a TLP

Alan Gates 2010-08-23, 17:38

I propose that Pig become a top level Apache project.

The Pig development community has already voted on and approved this
proposal. In summary, the community voted that all current active
committers (listed at http://hadoop.apache.org/pig/whoweare.html ) as
of August 18 2010 should become PMC members, and that Olga Natkovich
should be the PMC chair. They also agreed that adopting bylaws should
be among the first tasks of the new PMC. Full details of the vote can
be seen at http://bit.ly/c3GDyl

Please vote on sending this proposal to the Apache Board.

Below is a draft resolution to be sent to the Apache Board:

Establish the Apache Pig 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 related to parallel analysis of large
   data sets for distribution at no charge to the public.

   NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management
   Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Pig Project",
   be and hereby is established pursuant to Bylaws of the
   Foundation; and be it further

   RESOLVED, that the Apache Pig Project be and hereby is
   responsible for the creation and maintenance of software
   related to parallel analysis of large data sets; and be
   it further

   RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache Pig" 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 Pig Project, and to have primary responsibility
   for management of the projects within the scope of
   responsibility of the Apache Pig 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 Pig Project:

   * Dmitriy Ryaboy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   * Thejas Nair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Olga Natkovich
   be appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Pig, 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 Pig 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 Pig Project; and be it further

+1, Congrads on the near unanimous vote for progress.

Btw, can somebody tell me what the change was from March when this was
discussed and now? At that time, every one seem to have felt that Pig can
only handle Hadoop as backend and doesn't make sense for it to become a TLP
by itself. In fact, I remember a ticket to remove the possibility of a
different backend. What did I miss?

You have probably heard by now that there is a discussion going on in the
Hadoop PMC as to whether a number of the subprojects (Hbase, Avro,
Zookeeper, Hive, and Pig) should move out from under the Hadoop umbrella and
become top level Apache projects (TLP). This discussion has picked up
recently since the Apache board has clearly communicated to the Hadoop PMC
that it is concerned that Hadoop is acting as an umbrella project with many
disjoint subprojects underneath it. They are concerned that this gives
Apache little insight into the health and happenings of the subproject
communities which in turn means Apache cannot properly mentor those
communities.

The purpose of this email is to start a discussion within the Pig community
about this topic. Let me cover first what becoming TLPwould mean for Pig,
and then I'll go into what options I think we as a community have.

Becoming a TLP would mean that Pig would itself have a PMC that would report
directly to the Apache board. Who would be on the PMC would be something we
as a community would need to decide. Common options would be to say all
active committers are on the PMC, or all active committers who have been a
committer for at least a year. We would also need to elect a chair of the
PMC. This lucky person would have no additional power, but would have the
additional responsibility of writing quarterly reports on Pig's status for
Apache board meetings, as well as coordinating with Apache to get accounts
for new committers, etc. For more information see
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles

Becoming a TLP would not mean that we are ostracized from the Hadoop
community. We would continue to be invited to Hadoop Summits, HUGs, etc.
Since all Pig developers and users are by definition Hadoop users, we would
continue to be a strong presence in the Hadoop community.

I see three ways that we as a community can respond to this:

1) Say yes, we want to be a TLP now.
2) Say yes, we want to be a TLP, but not yet. We feel we need more time to
mature. If we choose this option we need to be able to clearly articulate
how much time we need and what we hope to see change in that time.
3) Say no, we feel the benefits for us staying with Hadoop outweigh the
drawbacks of being a disjoint subproject. If we choose this, we need to be
able to say exactly what those benefits are and why we feel they will be
compromised by leaving the Hadoop project.

There may other options that I haven't thought of. Please feel free to
suggest any you think of.

Questions? Thoughts? Let the discussion begin.

Alan.

So far I haven't seen any feedback on this. Apache has asked the Hadoop PMC
to submit input in April on whether some subprojects should be promoted to
TLPs. We, the Pig community, need to give feedback to the Hadoop PMC on how
we feel about this. Please make your voice heard.

So now I'll head my own call and give my thoughts on it.

The biggest advantage I see to being a TLP is a direct connection to Apache.
Right now all of the Pig team's interaction with Apache is through the
Hadoop PMC. Being directly connected to Apache would benefit Pig team
members who would have a better view into Apache. It would also raise our
profile in Apache and thus make other projects more aware of us.

However, I am concerned about loosing Pig's explicit connection to Hadoop.
This concern has a couple of dimensions. One, Hadoop and MapReduce are the
current flavor of the month in computing. Given that Pig shares a name with
the common farm animal, it's hard to be sure based on search statistics.
But Google trends shows that "hadoop" is searched on much more frequently
than "hadoop pig" or "apache pig" (see
http://www.google.com/trends?q=hadoop%2Chadoop+pig). I am guessing that
most Pig users come from Hadoop users who discover Pig via Hadoop's website.
Loosing that subproject tab on Hadoop's front page may radically lower the
number of users coming to Pig to check out our project. I would argue that
this benefits Hadoop as well, since high level languages like Pig Latin have
the potential to greatly extend the user base and usability of Hadoop.

Two, being explicitly connected to Hadoop keeps our two communities aware of
each others needs. There are features proposed for MR that would greatly
help Pig. By staying in the Hadoop community Pig is better positioned to
advocate for and help implement and test those features. The response to
this will be that Pig developers can still subscribe to Hadoop mailing
lists, submit patches, etc. That is, they can still be part of the Hadoop
community. Which reinforces my point that it makes more sense to leave Pig
in the Hadoop community since Pig developers will need to be part of that
community anyway.

Finally, philosophically it makes sense to me that projects that are tightly
connected belong together. It strikes me as strange to have Pig as a
TLP completely
dependent on another TLP. Hadoop was originally a subproject of Lucene. It
moved out to be a TLP when it became obvious that Hadoop had become
independent of and useful apart from Lucene. Pig is not in that position
relative to Hadoo

I can only speak for myself, but in the original discussion thread on
pig-dev (http://bit.ly/byD7L8 ) I discussed why I changed my vote over
the course of the last few months.

While we still want to design Pig and Pig Latin in such a way that
there may be separate implementations that do not run on Hadoop,
nothing in this regard has changed in the last few months. What did
change is that I (and I think others) realized that being connected
technically to Hadoop does not mean we need to be connected in our
governance.

Apache does not require that projects raise any finances. Pig is (as
it has been) supported by the contributions of those choose to work on
it and those who are paid to work on it.

Wow, that's a huge vote of confidence. Thanks. But no.
Contributions to Pig can be made (as before) in code, documentation,
user feedback, etc. You can donate money to Apache itself, which goes
to support the infrastructure for Pig and all Apache projects. For
more info see http://apache.org/foundation/support-apache.html (I
have no idea if that is tax deductible or not.)

Neat!

Congratulations, again, on the solidarity !

I feel that Pig is one of the more reliable and mature ways to program
Hadoop. I look forward to seeing more a$$ kicking of all the other systems.

:-)
