I am calling a vote on the following two measures. Measure 1: Amend Hive Bylaws to Define Submodules and Submodule Committers
If this measure passes the Apache Hive Project Bylaws will be amended with the following changes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Proposed+Changes+to+Hive+Bylaws+for+Submodule+Committers The motivation for these changes is discussed in the following email thread which appeared on the hive-dev and hcatalog-dev mailing lists: http://markmail.org/thread/u5nap7ghvyo7euqa Measure 2: Create HCatalog Submodule and Adopt HCatalog Codebase This measure provides for 1) the establishment of an HCatalog submodule in the Apache Hive Project, 2) the adoption of the Apache HCatalog codebase into the Hive HCatalog submodule, and 3) adding all currently active HCatalog committers as submodule committers on the Hive HCatalog submodule. Passage of this measure depends on the passage of Measure 1. Voting: Both measures require +1 votes from 2/3 of active Hive PMC members in order to pass. All participants in the Hive project are encouraged to vote on these measures, but only votes from active Hive PMC members are binding. The voting period commences immediately and shall last a minimum of six days. Voting is carried out by replying to this email thread. You must indicate which measure you are voting on in order for your vote to be counted. More details about the voting process can be found in the Apache Hive Project Bylaws: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Bylaws
