The Gora project graduated on 2012-01-15
Gora Project Incubation Status
Description
Gora is an ORM framework for column stores such as Apache HBase and Apache Cassandra with a specific focus on Hadoop.
Although there are various excellent ORM frameworks for relational databases, data modeling in NoSQL data stores differ profoundly from their relational cousins. Moreover, data-model agnostic frameworks such as JDO are not sufficient for use cases, where one needs to use the full power of the data models in column stores. Gora fills this gap by giving the user an easy-to-use ORM framework with data store specific mappings and built in Apache Hadoop support.

Initial Goals
- Iron out the remaining issues with HBase, Cassandra and SQL support. DONE
- Make the first release before the end of the year. DONE
- Improve documentation. DONE
- Support for Cascading. Not done, but not currently required by the community.
Incubation
These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.
Collaborative Development
- Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? YES
- Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.) YES
- Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? YES
- Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? YES
Licensing awareness
- Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers?YES
Project Specific
Add project specific tasks here.
Exit
