>>
>> Mysos Proposal
>>
>> Abstract
>>
>> Mysos is an Apache Mesos framework for running MySQL instances.
>>
>> Proposal
>>
>> Mysos runs on Apache Mesos (cluster manager) to dramatically simplify th=
e
>> management of MySQL instances. It is designed to offer:
>>
>> Efficient hardware utilization through multi-tenancy (in
>> performance-isolated containers)
>> High reliability through preserving the MySQL state during failure and
>> automatic backing up to/restoring from HDFS
>> An automated self-service option for bringing up new MySQL clusters
>> High availability through automatic MySQL master failover
>> An elastic solution that allows users to easily scale up and down a MySQ=
L
>> cluster by changing the number of slave instances
>> Background
>>
>> Initial development of Mysos was done at Twitter, and its codebase was
>> recently open sourced. This proposal is for Mysos to join the Apache
>> Incubator.
>>
>> Rationale
>>
>> Mysos is built to be used by anyone who desires to run MySQL on Apache
>> Mesos, and in the near-future it will take advantage of state primitives
>> that are being added to the Mesos core:
>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1554
>>
>> Furthermore, the rapid growth of Mysos community is empowered by open
>> source. We believe the Apache Foundation is a great fit as the long-term
>> home for Mysos, as it provides an established process for community-driv=
en
>> development and decision making by consensus.
>>
>> Initial Goals
>>
>> Move the existing codebase to Apache
>> Integrate with the Apache development process
>> Ensure all dependencies are compliant with Apache License version 2.0
>> Strengthen and grow the Mysos community
>> Incremental development and releases per Apache guidelines
>> Current Status
>>
>> Mysos was originally born out of a project within Twitter. The original
>> committers (Twitter) are working with Mesosphere and Percona to fully op=
en
>> source the code and make it ready for incubation at Apache.
>>
>> The Mysos source is currently hosted at GitHub, which will be used to se=
ed
>> the Apache git repository.
>>
>> Meritocracy
>>
>> We plan to invest in supporting a meritocracy. We will discuss the
>> requirements in an open forum. Several companies have already expressed
>> interest in this project, and we intend to invite additional developers =
to
>> participate. We will encourage and monitor community participation so th=
at
>> privileges can be extended to those that contribute.
>>
>> Community
>>
>> By bringing Mysos into Apache, we believe that the community will grow e=
ven
>> bigger.
>>
>> Core Developers
>>
>> Mysos was initially developed as a collaboration between Twitter and
>> Mesosphere.
>>
>> Alignment
>>
>> We believe that having Mysos at Apache will help further the growth of t=
he
>> big-data community, as it will encourage cooperation within the greater
>> ecosystem of projects spawned by Apache Mesos.
>>
>> Known Risks
>>
>> Orphaned Products
>>
>> Mysos is being used and developed by companies we work for so the compan=
ies
>> have an interest in its continued vitality.
>>
>> Given strong interest we've had since open sourcing Mysos, we anticipate
>> we'll grow a sustainable community that will expand contributors and kee=
p
>> it active as the Mesos core evolves.
>>
>> Inexperience with Open Source
>>
>> Most of the committers have experience at Apache, whether it's through
>> Apache Mesos, Aurora or other projects. Apache Mesos and Apache Aurora w=
ere
>> both shepherded through the ASF incubator process and have graduated to
>> become successful and diverse open source projects. We also have Jake
>> Farrell as an ASF Champion to help us through incubation.
>>
>> Homogenous Developers
>>
>> Initial committers come from a number of companies. Our intention is
>> increase the diversity of contributing developers and their affiliations=
,
>> and we'll recognize contributions and contributors as the community grow=
s
>> at Apache. We encouraged by interest in the project thus far.
>>
>> Reliance on Salaried Developers
>>
>> It is expected that Mysos development will occur on both salaried time a=
nd
>> on volunteer time, after hours. The majority of initial committers are p=
aid
>> by their employers 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 ar=
e
>> committed to recruiting additional committers including non-salaried
>> developers.
>>
>> Relationships with Other Apache Products
>>
>> Mysos depends on Apache Mesos. The Mysos team will work closely with the
>> Apache Mesos community to ensure the proper stateless primitives are in
>> place to enable MySQL to run on Apache Mesos.
>>
>> An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand
>>
>> Mysos is a new open source project and the primary benefits to joining
>> Apache are those outlined in the Rationale section.
>>
>> Documentation
>>
>> Documentation is currently located as README markdown files:
>>
>> /README.md /docs/user-guide.md
>>
>> Additional will continue to be added to the project.
>>
>> Source and Intellectual Property Submission Plan
>>
>> The Mysos codebase is currently hosted on Github:
>> https://github.com/twitter/mysos.
>>
>> These are the codebases that we would migrate to the Apache foundation.
>>
>> External Dependencies
>>
>> All Mysos dependencies have Apache compatible licenses.
>>
>> Cryptography
>>
>> We do not expect Mysos to be a controlled export item due to the use of
>> encryption.
