[DISCUSS] September board report

[Ryan Blue <bl...@apache.org>]

Hi everyone,

It’s time for our board report, which I think is the last monthly report.
Here’s what I have so far. Please comment and reply with anything that I’ve
missed!

Description:

Apache Iceberg is a table format for huge analytic datasets that is designed
for high performance and ease of use.
Issues:

There are no issues requiring board attention.
Membership Data:

Apache Iceberg was founded 2020-05-19 (4 months ago)
There are currently 10 committers and 9 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 1:1.

Community changes, past quarter:

   - No new PMC members since graduation on 2020-05-19
   - Shardul Mahadik was added as committer on 2020-07-25

Project Activity:

Recent releases:

   - 0.9.0 was released on 2020-07-13
   - 0.9.1 was released on 2020-08-14

The community expects to release 0.10.0 soon with support for Hive reads,
Flink writes, and the utilities needed to implement row-level deletes in
external processing engines, like Presto.

Notable improvements this month include:

   - Implemented end-to-end row-level deletes in the client library (direct
   reads)
   - Committed Flink write support for both DataStreams and SQL
   - Added Hive predicate pushdown and a runtime bundle
   - Committed name mapping support for reading ORC files from non-Iceberg
   tables
   - Added a new snapshot expiration action that runs in parallel using
   Spark
   - Added metadata to configure tables with a preferred sort order

The community is actively working on Hive column pruning, Hive write
support,
Flink read support, and row-level deletes in more processing engines.
Community Health:

The number of unique contributors increased in the last month to 26, from
the
previous high watermark of 21. Contributions are still healthy, with 74
commits
in the past month. New community members have been contributing
documentation
and build improvements (PR labels, fixing warnings); it is great to have
these
valuable contributions in addition to features and bug fixes.
