Maturity Assessment for Apache StreamPark™
The goals of this maturity model are to describe how Apache projects operate in a concise and high-level way, and to provide a basic framework that projects may choose to use to evaluate themselves.

Maturity model assessment
The following table is filled according to the Apache Maturity Model. Mentors and community members are welcome to comment and modify it.
CODE
ID | Description | Status |
---|---|---|
CD10 | The project produces Open Source software for distribution to the public, at no charge. | YES The project source code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 . |
CD20 | Anyone can easily discover and access the project's code.. | YES The official website includes GitHub link which can access the project's repository on GitHub directly. |
CD30 | Anyone using standard, widely-available tools, can build the code in a reproducible way. | YES Apache StreamPark provide build.sh script, which can quickly build the project). |
CD40 | The full history of the project's code is available via a source code control system, in a way that allows anyone to recreate any released version. | YES Anyone can view the full history of the project via commit logs. |
CD50 | The source code control system establishes the provenance of each line of code in a reliable way, based on strong authentication of the committer. When third parties contribute code, commit messages provide reliable information about the code provenance. | YES The project uses GitHub and managed by Apache Infra, it ensuring provenance of each line of code to a committer. And the third-party contributions are accepted in accordance with the contributing guides. |
LICENSE
ID | Description | Status |
---|---|---|
LC10 | The Apache License, version 2.0, covers the released code. | YES The LICENSE is in GitHub repository. And all source files are with APLv2 header. |
LC20 | Libraries that are mandatory dependencies of the project's code do not create more restrictions than the Apache License does. | YES All dependencies are listed. |
LC30 | The libraries mentioned in LC20 are available as Open Source software. | YES All dependencies are listed are available as Open Source software |
LC40 | Committers are bound by an Individual Contributor Agreement (the "Apache iCLA") that defines which code they may commit and how they need to identify code that is not their own. | YES All committers have iCLAs. |
LC50 | The project clearly defines and documents the copyright ownership of everything that the project produces. | YES And all source files are with APLv2 header, checked by license-eye |
Releases
ID | Description | Status |
---|---|---|
RE10 | Releases consist of source code, distributed using standard and open archive formats that are expected to stay readable in the long term. | YES Source release is distributed via dist.apache.org and linked from download page. |
RE20 | The project's PPMC (Project Management Committee, see CS10) approves each software release in order to make the release an act of the Foundation. | YES All releases have been voted at dev@streampark.apache.org and general@incubator.apache.org, and have at least 3 PPMC member's votes. |
RE30 | Releases are signed and/or distributed along with digests that anyone can reliably use to validate the downloaded archives. | YES All releases are signed, and the KEYS are available. |
RE40 | The project can distribute convenience binaries alongside source code, but they are not Apache Releases, they are provided with no guarantee. | YES User can easily build binaries from source code, The release of the official version follows the Apache License policy and is completed by a (P)PMC vote. |
RE50 | The project documents a repeatable release process so that someone new to the project can independently generate the complete set of artifacts required for a release. | YES We can follow the Release guide to make a new Apache StreamPark release, and so far we had 6 different release managers. |
Quality
ID | Description | Status |
---|---|---|
QU10 | The project is open and honest about the quality of its code. Various levels of quality and maturity for various modules are natural and acceptable as long as they are clearly communicated. | YES We encourage user to report issues. |

QU40 | The project puts a high priority on backwards compatibility and aims to document any incompatible changes and provide tools and documentation to help users transition to new features. | Yes We follow semantic versions. As long as it's within one major version, it's backward compatible. And when any breaking changes added, we provide corresponding upgrade guides. |
QU50 | The project strives to respond to documented bug reports in a timely manner. | YES The project has resolved 1000+ issues and 2300+ pull requests so far, with very prompt response. |
