[VOTE] Retire HTrace from Incubation

Hi Folks,
Below I've populated our report for the month of March 2018.
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2018 (also below)
I've basically initiated the Retirement sentiment which has been prevalent
within the HTrace community for some time. I would therefore like to
formally open a VOTE to retire HTrace from the Incubator.
The VOTE will be open for at least 72 hours.
[ ] +1 retire the HTrace podling
[ ] -1 NOT NOT retire the HTrace podling (please provide justification)
Lewis

===================

HTrace

HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed systems
written in java.

HTrace has been incubating since 2014-11-11.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  1. -
  2. -
  3. -

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

The HTrace podling has seen no code activity in months. Discussion of
sending it to the Attic have been circulating for some time as well.
After literally no activity again over the last few months, it looks like
it is time to progress with sending HTrace to the Attic.

How has the community developed since the last report?

It has not.

How has the project developed since the last report?

It has not.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  [X] Initial setup
  [X] Working towards first release
  [X] Community building
  [ ] Nearing graduation
  [X] Other: No actiity.

Date of last release:

  2016-03-04

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

[RESULT] WAS Re: [VOTE] Retire HTrace from Incubation

Posted by Lewis John McGibbney <le...@apache.org>.
Hi Folks,
OK, 72 hours has well and truly come and gone... many times over. I am therefore going to close with a RESULT.

[ ] +1 retire the HTrace podling
Lewis John McGibbney
Sean Busby
Jake Farrell
Mike Drob
Michael Stack
Masatake Iwasaki

[0] -1 NOT NOT retire the HTrace podling (please provide justification)

I will therefore progress with drafting the retirement documentation and follow the progress.
Thanks all for the effort during the Incubation. Not all podling efforts work out.

Thanks Lewis.

With heavy heart, +1 on retire.

There's a distinction between the code and the community. The code can be
there, but it certainly feels like there is no community left. If any of
the TLPs want to try to pick it back up, I don't think anybody would stop
them?

That's what I was thinking... retiring indicates not just that it's not
currently being developed, but that it can't be developed if needed. It
makes sense for projects to drop it, because they will have no way to patch
it if there's an issue. And, with something like HTrace, which one embeds
deep in one's code, projects need to plan ahead for that contingency,
rather than use it until there's an issue.

I feel like the htrace core library doesn't really need active development,
but I worry that retiring htrace will encourage other projects to drop it
as a dependency. If it had a home as a subproject, perhaps people would
continue to use it even if releases were infrequent. IMO that would be
preferable to retirement. I'd be on board if a TLP wanted to adopt htrace
as a subproject, but I also expect I will continue to only have time for
votes and not development.

Hi, Adrian and HTrace community.

Glad to be invited. I am the creator and PPMC of SkyWaking, which is a new
incubator project: https://incubator.apache.org/projects/skywalking.html

Right now, SkyWalking provide Agent based SDK, such OpenTracing APIs and
our own APIs. But I am not familiar with HTrace's APIs. But there is two
very easy ways
1. Add a new module to provide a library
2. Provide another API library with the agent.

Or HTrace community guys have any suggestion.

Anyway, I and skywalking team want to help.

In retrospect, it is a shame more Accumulo folks didn't help out making it
a more generic thing once it moved to Incubator. It's probably too late
now, but I wouldn't mind helping out with maintaining HTrace and pushing it
towards graduation, if there's still others willing to stay involved (ASF
requires 3 minimum). I've already been helping downstream, packaging HTrace
for Fedora, and would like to see it continue. Does anybody know what will
happen to HTrace if/when this vote passes? I'm not sure, but I don't think
there's a lot of interest in rebooting cloudtrace in Accumulo, but maybe it
will revert to its former GitHub presence? Is there a current plan?

Actually going back further than that, it did actually come from
cloudtrace. It was an intern that I and a few others worked with at
Cloudera many summers back who did the porting out of cloudtrace to make it
a more generic thing in a separate community.

+1 to retire.

This is painful because I've spent a lot of time on this personally, and I
do think there is value, but not if nobody picks it up.


Christopher,

HTrace did not originate from Accumulo's cloudtrace effort. It spun out of
HDFS's efforts.

They were two separate things, where eventually cloudtrace was replaced by
HTrace. Look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-898

Re: [VOTE] Retire HTrace from Incubation

Posted by Christopher <ct...@apache.org>.
I only just subscribed to this mailing list yesterday and this is the first
thread I've seen on this :(

Given that Accumulo continues to use HTrace (and I'm not sure, but I think
much of its code originated in Accumulo as "cloudtrace"/"accumulo-trace"),
it's a shame that this project did not graduate as a subproject of Accumulo
or something, if nothing else.

+1 retire. Thanks for making a go of it folks. Hope to see the work leveraged in the future.

Fwd: [VOTE] Retire HTrace from Incubation

Hi HTrace PPMC,
I thought I would directly pass on the below VOTE for consideration.
Thanks

To: dev@htrace.incubator.apache.org


Hi Folks,
Below I've populated our report for the month of March 2018.
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2018 (also below)
I've basically initiated the Retirement sentiment which has been prevalent
within the HTrace community for some time. I would therefore like to
formally open a VOTE to retire HTrace from the Incubator.
The VOTE will be open for at least 72 hours.
[ ] +1 retire the HTrace podling
[ ] -1 NOT NOT retire the HTrace podling (please provide justification)
Lewis

===================

HTrace

HTrace is a tracing framework intended for use with distributed systems
written in java.

HTrace has been incubating since 2014-11-11.

Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

  1. -
  2. -
  3. -

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?

The HTrace podling has seen no code activity in months. Discussion of
sending it to the Attic have been circulating for some time as well.
After literally no activity again over the last few months, it looks like
it is time to progress with sending HTrace to the Attic.

How has the community developed since the last report?

It has not.

How has the project developed since the last report?

It has not.

How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

  [X] Initial setup
  [X] Working towards first release
  [X] Community building
  [ ] Nearing graduation
  [X] Other: No actiity.

Date of last release:

  2016-03-04

When were the last committers or PPMC members elected?

  2016-10-03

     "HTrace is very quiet. There is opportunity to continue
     work if we engage with projects already using HTrace. If that does not
     happen, we should retire the podling." We should therefore retire the
podling.
