[DISCUSS] Graduation Next Steps

Hey Guys,

I think we've shown the following things:

* Made 3 releases
* Elected new committers (specifically I'm thinking Brock and now Jim)
* Discussed issues in public, behaved in the Apache way, were kind and friendly
to one another

I think we're close to graduation. It would be nice to expand our committer base a bit,
but I don't think we're that far off past that. 

Did I miss anything? What do others think we are missing, if anything? I'd say in the 
next month or two, we should start to think about graduating.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Jim,

Great questions! I'll offer my own perspective on both below:

The development of the project is largely orthogonal to graduation: 
in other words they both can occur in parallel with relatively little 
overhead and coupling to one another.

I'd strongly urge MR Unit to become its own TLP. That was one of the advantages
for breaking it out from Hadoop in the first place and the ASF as a whole is not looking
for sub projects anymore as they tend to lead to umbrella projects.

Cheers,
Chris

How does the new api work and the pending 1.0.0 release fit into 
graduation. Should those be done first?

Upon graduation will this project be absorbed as a subproject of hadoop 
or try to become a top level project?

Hi,

Yes I agree, and as you added last week, I think we need a better
website (MRUNIT-84).

Cheers,
Brock
