We want to contribute brpc to ASF, looking for champion and mentor ,please help

["Tan,Zhongyi" <ta...@baidu.com>]

Hi, guys,

brpc is one open source RPC framework that is very popular in baidu and china.
We want to contribute it to ASF to make it more successful.
And we are looking for champion and mentor for this project,
if anyone would like to volunteer, we will be very appreciated.

Thanks.


Here is the draft for brpc proposal.


# brpc Proposal

## Abstract

brpc is an industrial-grade RPC framework for building reliable and high-performance services.

## Proposal

We propose to contribute the brpc codebase and associated artifacts(e.g. documentation etc.) to the Apache Software Foundation, and aim to  build a wider open community around it in the 'Apache Way'.


## Background

The RPC framework used in Baidu before 2014 was developed at 2008 and limited in protocols and performance, and there were also serveral implementations focused on their own scenarios from Baidu's different BU. As an infrastructural team in Baidu, we tried to build a new framework to unify all RPC scenarios inside. The framework was named "baidu-rpc" internally the early versions were adopted and online at late 2014. The framework was rapidly iterated at 2015-2017, and thousands kinds of services and almost all core services adopted it. And in 2017, we opensourced it as "brpc" and hope to get more adoptions and contributions from outside. At the time of opensourcing, there're more than 1 million instances inside Baidu using baidu-rpc (not counting clients).


## Rationale

brpc has been approved inside baidu, since many high performance core services are using it.
And since its open source, it has been adopted by several other companies, including Iqiyi, Didi, Sougou, BiliBili etc.

## Current Status

brpc has been an open source project on GitHub (https://github.com/brpc/brpc) since 2017.

Currently it has more than 7.3k stars, 1.6k forks, and is one of the most popular repositories in topic of rpc category in GitHub rpc catelogy.
It has been widely used in Baidu, with 1,000,000+ instances and thousands kinds of services.
Besides, many other companies have already used it also, such as Iqiyi, Didi, Sougou, BiliBili etc.

### Meritocracy

brpc was originally created by Ge Jun and Chen zhangyi inside baidu from 2014.
Since its opensource in 2017, it has already followed meritocracy principles.
It accepts multiple contributions from other companies.
And now, the core developers are from several different companies.

We will follow Apache way to encourage more developers to contribute in this project.
We know that only active and committed developers from a diverse set of backgrounds
can make brpc a successful project.


### Community

brpc has been building an active community since its open source. Currently,
the community includes over 31 contributors.
The core developers of brpc are listed below.

### Core Developers

* Ge Jun(https://github.com/jamesge jge666@gmail.com)
* Chen Zhangyi(https://github.com/chenzhangyi frozen.zju@gmail.com)
* Jiang Rujie(https://github.com/old-bear jrjbear@gmail.com)
* Zhu Jiashun(http://github.com/zyearn zhujiashun2010@gmail.com)
* Wang Yao(https://github.com/ipconfigme ipconfigme@gmail.com)

### Alignment

brpc is useful for building reliable and high-performance applications.
Since ASF has many famous performance-related and rpc-related projects,
we believe that ASF is a perfect choice to help brpc project to attract
more developers and users as well as having more cooperation with existing projects.

## Known Risks

### Orphaned Products

Since our core developers are from different companies and many companies are using it,
the risk of the project being abandoned is minimal.
For example, Baidu is extensively using it in their production environment
and many large corporations including Iqiyi, Didi, Sougou, BiliBili use it in their production applications.


### Inexperience with Open Source

brpc has been an active open source project for more than one year.
During that time, the project has attracted 30+ contributors and gained a lot of attention.
The core developers are all active users and followers of open source.

### Homogenous Developers

brpc was created inside Baidu, but after brpc was open sourced, it received a lot of bug fixes and enhancements from other developers not working at Baidu.
And the core developers now are from different companies now.

### Reliance on Salaried Developers

Baidu invested in brpc as a general rpc framework used in company widely.
The core developers have been dedicated to this project for about four years.
And after its open source, developers around the world have involved in.
Besides, we want more developers and researchers to contribute to the project.

### An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand

The mission of brpc is to help developers build reliable and high-performance services quickly and easily.
It has been widely used in production environment throughout Baidu and after opensource, it has gained much attention and attracted developers all over the world.
Apache Brand is very respected. We are very honored to have the opportunity to join ASF, with the understanding that its brand policies being respected.
And we hope Apache can help us build the ecosystem around brpc and attract more developers.


## Documentation

The following links provide more information about brpc in open source:

Codebase at Github: https://github.com/brpc/brpc
Issue Tracking: https://github.com/brpc/brpc/issues
Overview: https://github.com/brpc/brpc/blob/master/docs/en/overview.md

## Initial Source

brpc has been developed since 2014 by a team of engineers at Baidu Inc.
We currently use Github to maintain our source code and track issues at https://github.com/brpc/brpc.
We need to move our repository to Apache infrastructure.

## Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan

brpc source code is available under Apache V2 license and owned by Baidu.
We will work with the committers to get ICLAs signed. We will provide a Software Grant Agreement from an authorized signer per https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant-template.pdf

## External Dependencies

brpc has the following external dependencies.

* Google gflags (BSD)
* Google protobuf (BSD)
* Google leveldb (BSD)

## Required Resources

### Mailing List

There are currently no mailing lists. The usual mailing lists are expected to be set up when entering incubation:

* private@brpc.incubator.apache.org
* dev@brpc.incubator.apache.org
* commits@brpc.incubator.apache.org

### Git Repositories:

Upon entering incubation, we want to transfer the existing repo from https://github.com/brpc/brpc to Apache infrastructure like https://github.com/apache/incubator-brpc.

### Issue Tracking:

brpc currently uses GitHub to track issues. Would like to continue to do so while we discuss migration possibilities with the ASF Infra committee.

### Other Resources:

Currently brpc has no dedicated website except Github homepage. In the future the website url should be http://brpc.incubator.apache.org/ to follow apache incubator conventions.

## Sponsors

### Champion

* todo

### Mentors

* todo

### Sponsoring Entity

We are requesting the Incubator to sponsor this project.

Hi

An interesting project.
One question : the project name is confirmed with "brpc"?  it means "baidu
rpc" ?

Just kind reminder :  it would be better if you could confirm the name
before starting incubating, it would be the lowest cost for your project.

Regards
Liang

Hi Justin,

Given the recent activity around dropping inactive mentors there will be a large need for fresh IPMC members. I think that a general message to members@ with a list of podlings and proposals needing mentors would be a reasonable message.

See you in Montreal.

Dave

Given they need to understand the incubation process they should probably be an IPMC member and subscribed to this list. Given the large size of memebers@ there would probably be some complaints if I emailed it there.

Re: We want to contribute brpc to ASF, looking for champion and mentor ,please help

[Dave Fisher <da...@comcast.net>]

Hi Zhongyi Tan,

With Daffofil, Doris and eCharts I am mentoring three projects. I will watch this one as there are some similar challenges, but I don’t think I have time to Mentor this one. (I may pick up one other who have lost an inactive mentor.)

All the best,
Dave

Re: We want to contribute brpc to ASF, looking for champion and mentor ,please help

[Zhangyi Chen <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hi, Von Gosling

In a short time, the core develop team of brpc are still focusing on
adopting brpc to satisfy scenarios where performance of communication and
thread scheduling do really matter, such as HPC, search backend and
distributed storage.  There is some work that we can do:
1. Merge rdma related stuff to the code base
2. Implement user space tcp-stack based on dpdk
3. Numa-aware thread scheduling algorithm
4. Zero copy I/O stack (from storage to network)

Bindings for other languages are always welcomed. If someone from the
community is willing to do these stuffs, we are glad to help to complement
the design and implementation.

Best Regards,
Zhangyi Chen

Re: We want to contribute brpc to ASF, looking for champion and mentor ,please help

[Von Gosling <vo...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I am excited to see a new rpc framework grow and flourish in apache comprehensive culture, rpc is so important infrastructure as messaging. Also, I am glad to help brpc community to learn and incubate smoothly under the Apache Way. After a look through about brpc , I  have one question that what’s the plan for our brpc future? I noticed that your mention brpc is an c++ rpc framework. AFAIK, sole language-lock rpc framework will not go far away in nowadays, especially facing the challenge of the new cloud computing paradigm, such as serverless and so on.


Best Regards,
Von Gosling

["Tan,Zhongyi" <ta...@baidu.com>]

Hi， JB，
Below are our answers to your questions，
Please check，
Thanks.

1. brpc doesn't depend on any other Apache projects. brpc currently
depends on the following external project:
   - leveldb
   - openssl
   - protobuf
   - gperftools (optional)
   - glog (optional)
   - gtest

2. brpc is alternative for C++ rpc fcramework，implementations for other
languages are not competitive enough (comparing to gRPC) to be
opensourced.  Besides the basic RPC function, brpc(C++) provides
additional features than gRPC:
   - Clients and servers can talk in multiple protocols: baidu internal
protocol, http, thrift, http2(communicable with gRPC, the PR is under
reviewing) and tens of other protocols.
   - Proved better performance in different scenarios, by eliminating
locks on hotpaths and using goroutine-like concurrency(bthread) with cache
friendly data structures
   - More useful debugging utilities to help C++ programers build solid
online services.
   - Various access patterns such as one-to-one, one-to-many(fan out),
streaming, which simplify implementation of complex distributed services.

Re: We want to contribute brpc to ASF, looking for champion and mentor ,please help

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré <jb...@nanthrax.net>]

Hi,

It's an interesting project. I have two questions:

1. do you have some interactions/dependencies with other Apache
projects, especially CXF for instance ?
2. what's the comparison between brpc and gRPC ? An alternative ?
Different features ?

I might be interested by mentoring the project, I would like to
understand exactly the target/purposes.

Thanks !
Regards
JB

> ## Known Risks
> 
> ### Orphaned Products
> 
> Since our core developers are from different companies and many companies are using it,
> the risk of the project being abandoned is minimal.
> For example, Baidu is extensively using it in their production environment
> and many large corporations including Iqiyi, Didi, Sougou, BiliBili use it in their production applications.
> 
> 
> ### Inexperience with Open Source
> 
> brpc has been an active open source project for more than one year.
> During that time, the project has attracted 30+ contributors and gained a lot of attention.
> The core developers are all active users and followers of open source.
> 
> ### Homogenous Developers
> 
> brpc was created inside Baidu, but after brpc was open sourced, it received a lot of bug fixes and enhancements from other developers not working at Baidu.
> And the core developers now are from different companies now.
> 
> ### Reliance on Salaried Developers
> 
> Baidu invested in brpc as a general rpc framework used in company widely.
> The core developers have been dedicated to this project for about four years.
> And after its open source, developers around the world have involved in.
> Besides, we want more developers and researchers to contribute to the project.
> 
> ### An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand
> 
> The mission of brpc is to help developers build reliable and high-performance services quickly and easily.
> It has been widely used in production environment throughout Baidu and after opensource, it has gained much attention and attracted developers all over the world.
> Apache Brand is very respected. We are very honored to have the opportunity to join ASF, with the understanding that its brand policies being respected.
> And we hope Apache can help us build the ecosystem around brpc and attract more developers.
