 Okay, all right. Well, welcome everyone to day three of the open and first summit Welcome to those of you in the audience and those who might be trickling in I'll take a couple minutes to talk about what's going on with the Sahara project I myself I'm Jeremy. I work for Red Hat the software engineer and We'll be hearing about Sahara Past present in future. Thank you So if you don't know what Sahara is it is an open-sac service and it provides a scalable data processing stack Which basically means the Hadoop or spark ecosystem and the Associated management interfaces So you allows the users to deploy and scale clusters Run jobs on them all with pretty minimal effort So these clusters can either be virtual machines or Bare metal with ironic You can deploy either the upstream Apache distribution of all the software or the vendor versions from Hortonworks or Clutter or a mapper And you can run these jobs against data in object store shared file system or just in regular HDFS like you would do traditionally Be the background Project started in 2013 First official release was in 2014 Over these past six or so years that most people have either been from Morantis red hat and easy stack who I've contributed but it's been all sorts of people These days it's just three of us from Red Hat who do most of the work So the typical thing for all these project updates to say what you've done in the past cycle Unfortunately hasn't been all that much. It's been a very small team and we've all been busy with other things, but Python 3 support is now in much better shape with train. So Just in time for 2020 We followed the community goal for PDF documentation and then With little time we had we did some other minor fixes, but I mean by comparison in Stein. We finally We got a lot of stuff done that had been hotly anticipated, but Since then not as much The bad news is that a lot of the Hadoop vendors have all gone belly up so Hortonworks was acquired by Clutter Clutter itself has had plenty of financial trouble and mapper was Somewhat dissolved and the assets were bought by HP Luckily Sahara can also deploy the regular upstream Apache version. So that's not a huge deal Plus we've also moved all these vendor plugins out of trees. So The maintenance is not terrible Besides that there's not like I said not that many people working on Sahara. So Futures a bit unclear with who will maintain it I'll still be around but as time goes on we're looking for new contributors That's the good news is that you can help we're looking for New people to join the project Either if you're personally interested or if Your employer sees some value in it. Please come talk to us and find out how you can help So specifically you can even start Tomorrow we'll have some sessions at the PTG at the kilo table So if you go to the ether pad or follow the QR code to the ether pad You'll be able to tell us if you'll attend and before lunch that would be best if you Don't know much about Sahara and you want to get started and learn learn learn more about what it can do and What you can do That'll be before lunch after lunch if you already know a little bit and you have ideas for what's The most important feature or the most important bug to fix and how we can get work done Stop by then But importantly if you don't put your name on the ether pad, I won't be there. So Again, it's candy QR code Which you'll see again in a minute and you know, tell me if you come, you know, it'd be very good to see you Moreover if you are thinking of contributing Some good reasons to think about contributing to Sahara one is that if you don't know much about open stack We want to get started Sahara involves all of the other core projects So if you want to learn a bit about Let's say cinder Sahara uses cinder heat Sahara uses heat and so on Sahara is also very small project. So if you want to become a leader very quickly You can start contributing and probably within a very short time You'll already be core reviewer PtL because it's a small team. You want to hear from new voices And of course if there's any business value or personal value Again, you should actually come and contribute and get all of your desired features implemented instead of just waiting for me to do it So there's lots to do Even though Sahara has been around for six years, there's always more to do as the big data space is changing and as user needs change and We finally addressed some long-awaited concerns If you're interested in Castile and a barbecue and we need to fix the integration there We need to fix the integration with spark jobs in Python We're also in the middle of a transition from disk image builder to lib guest FS It's almost done. But if if you know a lot about these tools, feel free to pitch in and help us out There's some Java code. So if you like Java, we need help Moving all that Java code back into the Apache namespace because I don't know any Java and it'd be better if Apache people can maintain it and as always Sahara deploys Lots of software and we need to upgrade that software. So you can always get the latest and greatest versions of a dupe and spark and Storm and hive pig everything like that And yeah, if you know a lot about CI and testing we need help there as well And finally perhaps the most useful things is that we've heard on the user survey that there are four main pain points preventing adoption of Sahara so if you are at all interested in helping us with documentation performance stability or maintenance of clusters Then that would be the quickest way to encourage adoption or re-adoption of Sahara and bring some new life into the project Finally in case you've just walked in a reminder of what Sahara is once again It deploys and manages data processing clusters and jobs, which I think is kind of cool Even though training was slow We're trying to pick up the pace again and get some stuff done So there's lots to do you can contribute you can contribute even as soon as tomorrow Again, just put your name on the etherpad, which is available by the QR code or ping me on IRC or sending email and That's about it. Feel free to talk to me offline offstage and I'll be happy to answer any questions about Sahara both from the developer perspective or The business perspective, so thank you very much Very nice. You've all come early in the morning. So thank you
