> === An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===

> The challenge of visualizing huge amounts of data interactively and in
> real-time
> 
> Superset was first developed as a data visualization solution for Druid.io
> as a way to visualize billions of rows of data.  Since then, usage of
> Superset has expanded to address data visualization use cases across SQL
> speaking data sources as well.
> 
> Our rationale for developing Superset as an Apache project is detailed in
> the Rationale Section.  We believe that the Apache brand and community
> process will help us attract more contributors to this project, and help
> grow the footprint of the project through usage at other organizations and

>>>>>>>>>> We realize that additional employer diversity is needed,

>>>> we
>>>>> will

>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Alignment ===
>>>>>>>>>> The initial committers strongly believe that a system for
>>>>> interactive
>>>>>>>>>> visualization of data will gain broader adoption as an open
>>>>> source,
>>>>>>>>>> community driven project, where the community can
>> contribute
>>>>> not only to
>>>>>>>>>> the core components, but also to a growing collection of
>>>>> connectors,
>>>>>>>>>> visualizations and improving integration a all potential
>> data
>>>>> sources.
>>>>>>>>>> Superset already integrates closely with Apache Hive, the
>> Hive
>>>>>>>> metastore,
>>>>>>>>>> as well as most SQL-speaking databases found in modern data
>>>>> ecosystems.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> == Known Risks ==
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Orphaned Products ===
>>>>>>>>>> Superset is a vital component for both visualizing,
>> accessing
>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> democratizing data at Airbnb.  Also at Hortonworks,
>> Superset
>>>> is
>>>>> a core
>>>>>>>>>> component of the DataFlow product offering.  Thus, the
>> risk of
>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> project
>>>>>>>>>> being orphaned is relatively low.  The project could be at
>>>> risk
>>>>> if
>>>>>>>> Airbnb
>>>>>>>>>> changes their approach for democratizing data or if
>>>> Hortonworks
>>>>> changes
>>>>>>>>>> their strategy in the market.  In such an event, the
>>>> committers
>>>>> plan to
>>>>>>>>>> continue working on the project on their own time, thought
>> the
>>>>> progress
>>>>>>>>>> will likely be slower.  We plan to mitigate this risk by
>>>>> recruiting
>>>>>>>>>> additional committers.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Inexperience with Open Source ===
>>>>>>>>>> The initial committers include veteran Apache members
>>>>> (committers and
>>>>>>>> PPMC
>>>>>>>>>> members) and other developers who have varying degrees of
>>>>> experience
>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>> open source projects. All have been involved with source
>> code
>>>>> that has
>>>>>>>>>> been
>>>>>>>>>> released under an open source license, and several also
>> have
>>>>> experience
>>>>>>>>>> developing code with an open source development process.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Homogenous Developers ===
>>>>>>>>>> The initial committers are employed by Airbnb Inc. and
>>>>> Hortonworks. We
>>>>>>>> are
>>>>>>>>>> committed to recruiting additional committers from other
>>>>> companies.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Reliance on Salaried Developers ===
>>>>>>>>>> It is expected that Superset development will occur on both
>>>>> salaried
>>>>>>>> time
>>>>>>>>>> and on volunteer time, after hours. The majority of initial
>>>>> committers
>>>>>>>> are
>>>>>>>>>> paid by their employer to contribute to this project.
>> However,
>>>>> they are
>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>> passionate about the project, and we are confident that the
>>>>> project will
>>>>>>>>>> continue even if no salaried developers contribute to the
>>>>> project. We
>>>>>>>> are
>>>>>>>>>> committed to recruiting additional committers including
>>>>> non-salaried
>>>>>>>>>> developers.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === Relationships with Other Apache Products ===
>>>>>>>>>> To the knowledge of the Initial Committers, there are no
>>>> direct
>>>>>>>>>> competitors
>>>>>>>>>> to Superset within the Apache Software Foundation.  That
>> said,
>>>>> Apache
>>>>>>>>>> Zeppelin is an indirect competitor, but it solves a
>> different
>>>>> use case.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Apache Zeppelin is a web-based notebook that enables
>>>>> interactive data
>>>>>>>>>> analytics. It enables the creation of beautiful
>> data-driven,
>>>>> interactive
>>>>>>>>>> and collaborative documents with SQL, Scala and more.
>>>> Although
>>>>> a user
>>>>>>>> can
>>>>>>>>>> create data visualizations using this project, it
>> leverages a
>>>>> notebook
>>>>>>>>>> style user interfaces and it is geared towards the Spark
>>>>> community where
>>>>>>>>>> Scala and SQL co-exist
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> We look forward to collaborating with those communities, as
>>>>> well as
>>>>>>>> other
>>>>>>>>>> Apache communities.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> === An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===
>>>>>>>>>> Superset is solving two huge challenges:
>>>>>>>>>> The challenge of enabling every knowledge worker to make
>> data
>>>>> informed
>>>>>>>>>> decisions, particularly those who are not deeply skilled at
>>>>> writing SQL.
>>>>>>>>>> The challenge of visualizing huge amounts of data
>>>> interactively
>>>>> and in
>>>>>>>>>> real-time
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Superset was first developed as a data visualization
>> solution
>>>>> for
>>>>>>>> Druid.io
>>>>>>>>>> as a way to visualize billions of rows of data.  Since
>> then,
>>>>> usage of
>>>>>>>>>> Superset has expanded to address data visualization use
>> cases
>>>>> across SQL
>>>>>>>>>> speaking data sources as well.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Our rationale for developing Superset as an Apache project
>> is
>>>>> detailed
>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>> the Rationale Section.  We believe that the Apache brand
>> and
>>>>> community
>>>>>>>>>> process will help us attract more contributors to this
>>>> project,
>>>>> and help
>>>>>>>>>> grow the footprint of the project through usage at other
>>>>> organizations
>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> within other applications.  Establishing consensus among
>> users
>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> developers will result in a more valuable tool for
>> everyone.
