Hello Hive community. It is time for HCatalog to graduate from the Apache Incubator. Given the heavy dependence of HCatalog on Hive the HCatalog community agreed it made sense to explore graduating from the Incubator to become a subproject of Hive (see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-hcatalog-user/201209.mbox/%3C08C40723-8D4D-48EB-942B-8EE4327DD84A%40hortonworks.com%3E and http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-hcatalog-user/201210.mbox/%3CCABN7xTCRM5wXGgJKEko0PmqDXhuAYpK%2BD-H57T29zcSGhkwGQw%40mail.gmail.com%3E ). To help both communities understand what HCatalog is and hopes to become we also developed a roadmap that summarizes HCatalog's current features, planned features, and other possible features under discussion: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/HCatalog+Roadmap
So we are now approaching you to see if there is agreement in the Hive community that HCatalog graduating into Hive would make sense. Alan.
