[DISCUSS] Sharding-Sphere incubation proposal
Dear Apache Incubator Community,
I would like to start a discussion about the incubation of Sharding-Sphere
at Apache.
Please accept the Sharding-Sphere podling into the Incubator.
We have 4 mentors, also we are welcome other volunteers to mentor us.
The proposal can be found at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ShardingSphereProposal . Here is the text
of it:
= Abstract =
Sharding-Sphere is an ecosystem of transparent distributed database
middleware, focusing on data sharding, distributed transaction and database
orchestration. It provides maximum compatibility for applications through
Sharding-JDBC (a driver to implement JDBC) or Sharding-Proxy (a proxy to
implement database protocol).
= Proposal =
With a large number of end users, Sharding-Sphere has a fairly huge
community in China. It is also widely adopted by many [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/company/|companies and
organizations]] as a solution to process their massive amounts of data.
We believe that bringing Sharding-Sphere into Apache Software Foundation
could advance development of a stronger and more diverse open source
community.
Dangdang submits this proposal to donate Sharding-Sphere's source codes and
all related documentations to Apache Software Foundation. The codes are
already under Apache License Version 2.0.
* Code base: https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere
* Web site: http://shardingsphere.io/
* Documentations: http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/
* Community: http://shardingsphere.io/community/
= Background =
Relational database hardly supports such huge amounts of data any more
which has increased rapidly in recent years, but for reason of technique
maturity, developers and DBAs still want to use it to persist core data.
Sharding-Sphere was open sourced on Github in 2016. At the very beginning,
Sharding-Sphere is just a JDBC driver for data sharding (name as
Sharding-JDBC) at Dangdang internal framework; now it offers data sharding,
distributed transaction and database orchestration. Besides JDBC, proxy to
implement MySQL database protocol is also supported at present.
Furthermore, our roadmap includes Proxy for PostgreSQL protocol, Sidecar
model, data repica and elastic data scalability function as well.
Due to the extension of project, we provide proxy model and sidecar model
in addition to JDBC model. Therefore, we rename it to Sharding-Sphere by [[
https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere/issues/788|a public
vote]], which refers to a sharding ecosphere with Sharding-JDBC,
Sharding-Proxy and Sharding Sidecar as its three sub-projects.
Sharding-JDBC has won the [[http://www.oschina.net/project/top_cn_2016|TOP
20 most popular open source projects in China 2016]].
= Rationale =
Relational database still plays a very important role on current
application system. The maturity of products and surrounding ecosystem, the
friendliness of its data query and developers' and DBAs' mastery of it,
cannot be completely replaced with other types of database in the near
future. However, current relational database cannot support cloud native
very well and it is not friendly to distributed system.
It is the ultimate goal of Sharding-Sphere, which manages the databases
scattering around the system, to make user use distributed databases as
simply as using a single one.
Without extra cost, Sharding-JDBC directly connects database with Java
application to get the best performance.
Sharding-Proxy is deployed as a stateless server and supports MySQL
protocol at present. In the paper [[
https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2016/pavlo-newsql-sigmodrec2016.pdf|What’s
Really New with NewSQL?]], three types of NewSQL are introduced, among
which Sharding-Proxy is a Transparent Sharding Middleware.
Sharding-Sidecar can be understood as a data panel in Service Mesh. The
interaction between the application and the database provides a mesh layer.
The concept of Database Mesh is similar to Service Mesh, and it focuses on
how to connect data access applications to the database. Database Mesh will
set up a huge grid system between applications and databases. Applications
and databases need be placed in the grid system. They are all objects
managed by the meshing layer.
= Current Status =
== Meritocracy ==
Sharding-Sphere was incubated at Dangdang in 2015 and open sourced on
GitHub in 2016. In 2017, JingDong recognized its value and determined to
sponsor this project. Sharding-Sphere has contributors and users from many
companies; we have set up the PMC Team and Committer Team. New contributors
are guided and reviewed by existed PMC members. When they are ready, PMC
will start a vote to promote him/her to become a member of PMC or Committer
Team. See the details See the details [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/organization/|here]]. Contributions
are always welcomed and highly valued.
== Community ==
Now we have set development teams for Sharding-Sphere respectively in
JingDong, Dangdang and Bestpay. Companies like Sohu and Dataman have shown
great interest in Sharding-Sphere. We hope to grow the base of contributors
by inviting all those who offer contributions through The Apache Way. Right
now, we make use of github as code hosting as well as gitter for community
communication.
== Core Developers ==
The core developers, including experienced open source developers and team
leaders, have formed a group full of diversity.
= Known Risks =
== Orphaned products ==
Three development teams from JingDong, Dangdang and CHINA TELECOM Bestpay
will spare no pains to work on Sharding-Sphere in the future with
contributors from the growing community. Also, Sharding-Sphere is widely
adopted in China by many [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/company/|companies and
organizations]]. Thus, it is very unlikely that Sharding-Sphere becomes
orphaned.
== Inexperience with Open Source ==
The current core developers all work for companies that have developed or
contributed to many open source projects.
* Liang Zhang, PMC. He is the lead of two open source projects,
Sharding-Sphere and Elastic-Job. Also Committer of Apache Dubbo (Incubator).
* Sheng Wu, PMC. He is the PPMC and committer of Apache
SkyWalking(Incubating), Apache Zipkin(Incubating) contributor, CNCF
OpenTracing member. Also contributed a lot other open source projects.
* Hongtao Gao, PMC. He is the PPMC and committer of Apache
SkyWalking(Incubating) too. Also contribute a lot of features of
Elastic-Job.
Therefore, we believe we have enough experience to deal with open source.
== Homogenous Developers ==
The current core developers work across a variety of organizations
including Jingdong, Dangdang and CHINA TELECOM Bestpay; some individual
developers are accepted as core developers of Sharding-Sphere as well.
Considering that Sohu and Dataman have shown great interest in
Sharding-Sphere, we plan to encourage them to contribute and invite them as
contributors to work together.
== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
At present, three of the core developers are paid by their employer to
contribute to Sharding-Sphere project. It is estimated that the development
of Sharding-Sphere will be continued with mainly salaried developers, and
we will make efforts to attract more volunteers and grow the community.
== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
An automatic prober of Sharding-Sphere is introduced into SkyWalking to
send APM data, and SkyWalking also use Sharding-Sphere to persit tracing
data. Saga provided by ServiceComb is adopted by Sharding-Sphere as one of
the distributed transaction processing engines. Sharding-Sphere integrates
Apache Zookeeper as one of the service registration/discovery mechanisms.
== A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
We acknowledge the value and reputation that the Apache brand would bring
to Sharding-Sphere. However, our primary interest is in the excellent
community provided by Apache Software Foundation, in which all the projects
could gain stability for long-term development.
= Documentation =
A complete set of Sharding-Sphere documentations is provided on
shardingsphere.io in both English and Simplified Chinese.
* [[http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/en/overview/|English]]
* [[http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/cn/overview/|Chinese]]
= Initial Source =
The project consists of three distinct codebases: core, example and
document. The address of three existed git repositories are as follows:
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere-example
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere-doc
= Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan =
The codes are currently under Apache License Version 2.0 and have been
verified to have no intellectual property or license issues before being
released to open source by Dangdang in 2016. Dangdang will provide SGA and
all committers will sign ICLA after Sharding-Sphere is accepted into the
Incubator.
= External Dependencies =
As all dependencies are managed using Apache Maven, none of the external
libraries need to be packaged in a source distribution. All dependencies
have Apache compatible licenses except MySQL (GPL-2.0).
We will remove MySQL dependencies in future. MySQL JDBC driver is adopted
by Sharding-Proxy to connect MySQL now; We will use SPI to load JDBC
driver, so MySQL JDBC driver is no longer provided on Sharding-Sphere.

Re: [DISCUSS] Sharding-Sphere incubation proposal
Posted by 彭勇升 Peng Yongsheng <80...@qq.com>.
Thanks to Sharding-Sphere team.
My introduction:
The company I worked for and the company I’m working for are using Sharding-Sphere. And the Sharding-Sphere is one of the SkyWalking’s OAP storage implementation.
So, I think I can help so more, whether coding or community.

Subject: [DISCUSS] Sharding-Sphere incubation proposal
Dear Apache Incubator Community,
I would like to start a discussion about the incubation of Sharding-Sphere
at Apache.
Please accept the Sharding-Sphere podling into the Incubator.
We have 4 mentors, also we are welcome other volunteers to mentor us.
The proposal can be found at
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ShardingSphereProposal . Here is the text
of it:
= Abstract =
Sharding-Sphere is an ecosystem of transparent distributed database
middleware, focusing on data sharding, distributed transaction and database
orchestration. It provides maximum compatibility for applications through
Sharding-JDBC (a driver to implement JDBC) or Sharding-Proxy (a proxy to
implement database protocol).
= Proposal =
With a large number of end users, Sharding-Sphere has a fairly huge
community in China. It is also widely adopted by many [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/company/|companies and
organizations]] as a solution to process their massive amounts of data.
We believe that bringing Sharding-Sphere into Apache Software Foundation
could advance development of a stronger and more diverse open source
community.
Dangdang submits this proposal to donate Sharding-Sphere's source codes and
all related documentations to Apache Software Foundation. The codes are
already under Apache License Version 2.0.
* Code base: https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere
* Web site: http://shardingsphere.io/
* Documentations: http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/
* Community: http://shardingsphere.io/community/
= Background =
Relational database hardly supports such huge amounts of data any more
which has increased rapidly in recent years, but for reason of technique
maturity, developers and DBAs still want to use it to persist core data.
Sharding-Sphere was open sourced on Github in 2016. At the very beginning,
Sharding-Sphere is just a JDBC driver for data sharding (name as
Sharding-JDBC) at Dangdang internal framework; now it offers data sharding,
distributed transaction and database orchestration. Besides JDBC, proxy to
implement MySQL database protocol is also supported at present.
Furthermore, our roadmap includes Proxy for PostgreSQL protocol, Sidecar
model, data repica and elastic data scalability function as well.
Due to the extension of project, we provide proxy model and sidecar model
in addition to JDBC model. Therefore, we rename it to Sharding-Sphere by [[
https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere/issues/788|a public
vote]], which refers to a sharding ecosphere with Sharding-JDBC,
Sharding-Proxy and Sharding Sidecar as its three sub-projects.
Sharding-JDBC has won the [[http://www.oschina.net/project/top_cn_2016|TOP
20 most popular open source projects in China 2016]].
= Rationale =
Relational database still plays a very important role on current
application system. The maturity of products and surrounding ecosystem, the
friendliness of its data query and developers' and DBAs' mastery of it,
cannot be completely replaced with other types of database in the near
future. However, current relational database cannot support cloud native
very well and it is not friendly to distributed system.
It is the ultimate goal of Sharding-Sphere, which manages the databases
scattering around the system, to make user use distributed databases as
simply as using a single one.
Without extra cost, Sharding-JDBC directly connects database with Java
application to get the best performance.
Sharding-Proxy is deployed as a stateless server and supports MySQL
protocol at present. In the paper [[
https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2016/pavlo-newsql-sigmodrec2016.pdf|What’s
Really New with NewSQL?]], three types of NewSQL are introduced, among
which Sharding-Proxy is a Transparent Sharding Middleware.
Sharding-Sidecar can be understood as a data panel in Service Mesh. The
interaction between the application and the database provides a mesh layer.
The concept of Database Mesh is similar to Service Mesh, and it focuses on
how to connect data access applications to the database. Database Mesh will
set up a huge grid system between applications and databases. Applications
and databases need be placed in the grid system. They are all objects
managed by the meshing layer.
= Current Status =
== Meritocracy ==
Sharding-Sphere was incubated at Dangdang in 2015 and open sourced on
GitHub in 2016. In 2017, JingDong recognized its value and determined to
sponsor this project. Sharding-Sphere has contributors and users from many
companies; we have set up the PMC Team and Committer Team. New contributors
are guided and reviewed by existed PMC members. When they are ready, PMC
will start a vote to promote him/her to become a member of PMC or Committer
Team. See the details See the details [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/organization/|here]]. Contributions
are always welcomed and highly valued.
== Community ==
Now we have set development teams for Sharding-Sphere respectively in
JingDong, Dangdang and Bestpay. Companies like Sohu and Dataman have shown
great interest in Sharding-Sphere. We hope to grow the base of contributors
by inviting all those who offer contributions through The Apache Way. Right
now, we make use of github as code hosting as well as gitter for community
communication.
== Core Developers ==
The core developers, including experienced open source developers and team
leaders, have formed a group full of diversity.
= Known Risks =
== Orphaned products ==
Three development teams from JingDong, Dangdang and CHINA TELECOM Bestpay
will spare no pains to work on Sharding-Sphere in the future with
contributors from the growing community. Also, Sharding-Sphere is widely
adopted in China by many [[
http://shardingsphere.io/community/en/company/|companies and
organizations]]. Thus, it is very unlikely that Sharding-Sphere becomes
orphaned.
== Inexperience with Open Source ==
The current core developers all work for companies that have developed or
contributed to many open source projects.
* Liang Zhang, PMC. He is the lead of two open source projects,
Sharding-Sphere and Elastic-Job. Also Committer of Apache Dubbo (Incubator).
* Sheng Wu, PMC. He is the PPMC and committer of Apache
SkyWalking(Incubating), Apache Zipkin(Incubating) contributor, CNCF
OpenTracing member. Also contributed a lot other open source projects.
* Hongtao Gao, PMC. He is the PPMC and committer of Apache
SkyWalking(Incubating) too. Also contribute a lot of features of
Elastic-Job.
Therefore, we believe we have enough experience to deal with open source.
== Homogenous Developers ==
The current core developers work across a variety of organizations
including Jingdong, Dangdang and CHINA TELECOM Bestpay; some individual
developers are accepted as core developers of Sharding-Sphere as well.
Considering that Sohu and Dataman have shown great interest in
Sharding-Sphere, we plan to encourage them to contribute and invite them as
contributors to work together.
== Reliance on Salaried Developers ==
At present, three of the core developers are paid by their employer to
contribute to Sharding-Sphere project. It is estimated that the development
of Sharding-Sphere will be continued with mainly salaried developers, and
we will make efforts to attract more volunteers and grow the community.
== Relationships with Other Apache Products ==
An automatic prober of Sharding-Sphere is introduced into SkyWalking to
send APM data, and SkyWalking also use Sharding-Sphere to persit tracing
data. Saga provided by ServiceComb is adopted by Sharding-Sphere as one of
the distributed transaction processing engines. Sharding-Sphere integrates
Apache Zookeeper as one of the service registration/discovery mechanisms.
== A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ==
We acknowledge the value and reputation that the Apache brand would bring
to Sharding-Sphere. However, our primary interest is in the excellent
community provided by Apache Software Foundation, in which all the projects
could gain stability for long-term development.
= Documentation =
A complete set of Sharding-Sphere documentations is provided on
shardingsphere.io in both English and Simplified Chinese.
* [[http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/en/overview/|English]]
* [[http://shardingsphere.io/document/current/cn/overview/|Chinese]]
= Initial Source =
The project consists of three distinct codebases: core, example and
document. The address of three existed git repositories are as follows:
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere-example
* https://github.com/sharding-sphere/sharding-sphere-doc
= Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan =
The codes are currently under Apache License Version 2.0 and have been
verified to have no intellectual property or license issues before being
released to open source by Dangdang in 2016. Dangdang will provide SGA and
all committers will sign ICLA after Sharding-Sphere is accepted into the
Incubator.
= External Dependencies =
As all dependencies are managed using Apache Maven, none of the external
libraries need to be packaged in a source distribution. All dependencies
have Apache compatible licenses except MySQL (GPL-2.0).
We will remove MySQL dependencies in future. MySQL JDBC driver is adopted
by Sharding-Proxy to connect MySQL now; We will use SPI to load JDBC
driver, so MySQL JDBC driver is no longer provided on Sharding-Sphere.

> Sharding-Sphere was open sourced on Github in 2016. At the very beginning,
> Sharding-Sphere is just a JDBC driver for data sharding (name as
> Sharding-JDBC) at Dangdang internal framework; now it offers data sharding,
> distributed transaction and database orchestration. Besides JDBC, proxy to
> implement MySQL database protocol is also supported at present.
> Furthermore, our roadmap includes Proxy for PostgreSQL protocol, Sidecar
> model, data repica and elastic data scalability function as well.
>
> Due to the extension of project, we provide proxy model and sidecar model
> in addition to JDBC model. Therefore, we rename it to Sharding-Sphere by [[
