I'll let the other HBase team members speak for themselves, but my request
to ASF is that if somebody proposes something that nearly exactly like an
existing ASF project, and it's implemented in the same language, and it
even copies their code - shouldn't somebody at ASF ask the proposing team:
"have you guys talked to the other project?" Especially since, in this
case, one of their claims is that HBase "can't do or has no plans" for
something.
It's all about community, isn't it?
Yes, a [PROPOSAL] thread is certainly a place to ask about what other
Apache projects and communities are related to the proposal, and how
they've interacted before. It seems
But we're happy to incubate any promising community, even if their
technology competes with an existing Apache project. It indeed is about
community - and if there's another promising community that wants to
fork Subversion and build BigBrother, then we should let them try it.
