Hadoop Management and Monitoring code - Branch ambari-0.1

["Vitthal \"Suhas\" Gogate" <go...@hortonworks.com>]

Hello Ambari Developers!

The development on the Ambari trunk has stalled for last couple months. I
and some of my colleagues at Hortonworks are working on a solution that
provides a UI based installation and monitoring application for the Hadoop
stack. I have contributed it to the Ambari project and in a new development
branch (named ambari-0.1).

Here are some highlights of this solution,

1. This solution provides the GUI frontend that would help users install,
manage and monitor the Hadoop cluster.
2. The solution uses CSS, Javascript, and HTML on client side. We use the
existing proven open source technologies in the backend e.g. PHP for
coding, Puppet for deploying and configuring the Hadoop services, Nagios &
Ganglia for monitoring alerts and metrics graphs respectively.
3. This solution is compatible with installing Bigtop RPMs
4. When the code is well tested, I'll call a vote to replace trunk with the
development branch.

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to folks who actively contributed
the code to this project over last few months, Hitesh Shah, Varun Kapoor,
Mahadev Konar, Jitendra Pandey, Ramya Sunil, Vinod Vavilapalli, Vikram
Dixit, Giridharan Kesavan & Devaraj Das

Note: The code in this branch is still work in progress and actively tested
by QA team. It should be in a good working state over next couple weeks. We
are actively working on it and will be adding subsequent changes through
Apache Jira process. The detailed build instructions will be provided soon.
Also any proprietary references to HortonWorks will be removed before we
make the first release.

So stay tuned.

Suhas,
   It is great to have Ambari gaining momentum again and getting some
new contributors. We need to file our next board report today. How
about the following:

Ambari

Ambari is monitoring, administration and lifecycle management project
for Apache Hadoop clusters.

 * Incubating since 30 August 2011.
 * 162 jiras fixed on trunk (0 added since Feb report) + 8 jiras fixed
on dev branch ambari-186
 * After having no commits since January, yesterday a new code base
was contributed and
   checked in on dev branch ambari-186. Development is happening
rapidly on the branch
   while the project discusses how to move forward. The current
proposal is to continue
   development on the branch until it is usable and then call a vote
to replace trunk with the
   code on the branch.
* 8 new developers have contributed to the ambari-186 code base

Issues that must be addressed before graduation are:
 * Making a release
 * Attracting users and developers
 * Increase diversity of developers outside of Hortonworks
