Apache Falcon is now retired

[Hervé Boutemy <hb...@apache.org>]

Announcing that the Apache Falcon committers have voted to retire
the project due to inactivity. Falcon was  a data processing and management 
solution for Hadoop designed for data motion, coordination of data pipelines, 
lifecycle management, and data discovery. Falcon enabled end consumers to 
quickly onboard their data and its associated processing and management tasks 
on Hadoop clusters.

Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as
existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and
retain access to the necessary information for their own development
efforts.

You can read more about Falcon's retirement at:

   http://attic.apache.org/projects/falcon.html

The user mailing list remains open, while the rest of the project's
resources will continue to be available in a read-only state -
website, wikis, svn, downloads and bug tracker with no change in url.

Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache
project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic,
and you can read more about that at:

Thanks,

Hervé on behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Apache Falcon project
