[DRAFT] [REPORT] Apache Apex - January 2017

Below is the draft board report for feedback.

I'm planning to submit it on Monday.

Thanks,
Thomas


## Description:

Apache Apex is a distributed, large-scale, high throughput,
low-latency, fault tolerant, unified stream and batch processing
platform.

## Issues:

There are no issues that require the Board's attention.

## Status/Activity:

In November the community released 3.6.0 of Apex Malhar library, which
added the initial version of SQL support using Apache Calcite,
improvements to windowed state management performance and scalability,
expanded user documentation and many other improvements.

In December followed the 3.5.0 release of Apex Core, which is the stream
processing engine. The previous release was 3.4.0 in May and releases are
generally less frequent than the library. The release contains several
operability improvements and also moves the Apache Hadoop dependency from
2.2 to 2.6, enabling the engine to take advantage of newer features in
Apache Hadoop YARN.

Apex is now also present in Apache Beam; the first version of the
Apex runner is part of the recent 0.4.0 Beam release.

Another integration with Apache SAMOA (incubating) was also completed
recently. Apache SAMOA is an open source platform for mining big data
streams and allows multiple Distributed Stream Processing Engines (DSPEs)
to be integrated into the framework.

Apex was present at Apache Big Data in Seville, at Big Data Spain in Madrid
and also as part of the Apache Beam tutorial at Strata Singapore.
We continue to see increase in interest and adaption, more info can be found
on the Powered By page on the project web site.

About the following sentence:

➢ We continue to see increase in interest and adaption

Shouldn’t it be “adoption” ?
