             Summary: Apex/Malhar Extensions
                 Key: APEXCORE-576
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-576
             Project: Apache Apex Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Website
            Reporter: Chinmay Kolhatkar


The purpose of this task is to provide a way to external contributors to make better contributions to Apache Apex project.

The idea looks something like this:
1. One could have extension to apex core/malhar in their own repository and just register itself with Apache Apex. 
2. As it matures and find more and more use we can consume that in mainstream releases.
3. Some possibilities of of Apex extensions are as follows:
    a. Operators - DataSources, DataDestinations, Parsers, Formatters, Processing etc.
    b. Apex Engine Plugables
    c. External Integrations
    d. Integration with other platform like Machine learning, Graph engines etc.
    e. Application which are ready to use.
    d. Apex related tools which can ease the development and usage of apex.


The initial discussion about this has happened here:

More concrete discussion/implementation proposal required for this task to progress.
