Fwd: Impala Board Report due for February 2020 - Initial Reminder
I have published the below report. Please let me know if you would like me
to revise it in some way.
## Description:
The mission of Apache Impala is the creation and maintenance of software
related to a high-performance distributed SQL engine
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.
## Membership Data:
Apache Impala was founded 2017-11-14 (2 years ago)
There are currently 50 committers and 32 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:4.
Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Fredy Wijaya on 2019-07-27.
- No new committers. Last addition was Laszlo Gaal on 2019-06-19.
## Project Activity:
- Discussions on a release of 3.4 have begun
- Planner and executor improvements for multi-threaded execution
- Improvements to tests on ACID tables
- Continued iterations on local catalog mode
- The enablement of primary/foreign key hints during table creation
- A number of improvements to test reproducability
- A correctness fix for negative zero
- Numerous improvements to ORC file handling
## Community Health:
Activity on many metrics decreased last quarter. This is typical for
the project, and it corresponds to the US holiday season.
The most prominent decrease was in the number of commits, which was
down to 164. The November-December-January quarter has, in years past,
seen 238, 258, 310, 199, and 183 commits (reverse chronological
order).

I've added a note about Ranger masking. I'm also going to add a note about
aarch64; I have just seen that there were ten active tickets on this topic
in this quarter.
There are still a few days until the board meeting; please continue to LMK
if there's something you think we should change.
