Apache Amaterasu is a framework providing configuration management and
deployment for Big Data Pipelines.
It provides the following capabilities:
Continuous integration tools to package pipelines and run tests.
A repository to store those packaged applications: the applications
repository.
A repository to store the pipelines, and engine configuration (for
instance, the location of the Spark master, etc.): per environment - the
configuration repository.
A dashboard to monitor the pipelines.
A DSL and integration hooks allowing third parties to easily integrate.
Amaterasu has been incubating since 2017-09-07.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Grow up user and contributor communities
2. Prepare documentation
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware
of?
There is still concern regarding the progress of the project. The
community tries to address this by making the project more accessible. The
first major step is releasing the documentation and simplifying the install
process. In addition, we are working closely with some of the newer
contributors to mentor them and help them be more productive.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Since the last report, we have been focusing on the next release with
strong focus building the documentation which we hope will help with
adoption. We are still working with a couple of organizations on their use
case, hopefully, those could become a public use cases soon.
How has the project developed since the last report?
* 11 pull requests by 4 contributors have been opened since the last
report. Out of those 2 have been closed, 1 is awaiting fixes and the rest
have been merged.
* Documentation has been progressing and is due for the upcoming release.
Date of the last release:
12 July 2018

Have your mentors been helpful and responsive or are things falling through

Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
A concern was raised by a mentor that the community is too small and not
active enough and that Amaterasu should consider retiring. We did a roll
call, and identified a total of 5 individuals willing to contribute as
volunteers.
We'll keep tracking the activity and reassess whether to retire within a
few months.

Comments: Activity has picked up recently, and the first release is
coming. That said, I think the community is not developing fast enough to
suggest a good fit for the Foundation. I have general concerns whether the
project can graduate and how quickly.
