Apache Apex is a YARN-native platform that unifies stream and batch processing. It processes big data-in-motion in a way that is scalable, performant, fault-tolerant, stateful, secure, distributed, and easily operable.{{cite web|url=https://apex.apache.org|title=Apache Apex Web Page}}
Apache Apex was named a top-level project by The Apache Software Foundation on April 25, 2016.{{cite web|url=http://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/04/26/spark-rival-apache-apex-hits-top-level-status/|title=Spark rival Apache Apex hits top-level status|work=siliconangle.com|date=26 April 2016 }}{{cite web|url=https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_announces90|title=The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache Apex as a Top-Level Project|work=The Apache Software Foundation|date=25 April 2016 }} As of September 2019, it is no longer actively developed.
Overview
Apache Apex is developed under the Apache License 2.0.{{cite web|url=https://github.com/apache/apex-core|title=Apache Apex Github Repos|website=GitHub }} The project was driven by the San Jose, California-based start-up company DataTorrent.
There are two parts of Apache Apex: Apex Core and Apex Malhar. Apex Core is the platform or framework for building distributed applications on Hadoop. The core Apex platform is supplemented by Malhar, a library of connector and logic functions, enabling rapid application development. These input and output operators provide templates to sources and sinks such as Alluxio, S3, HDFS, NFS, FTP, Kafka, ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, JMS, Cassandra, MongoDB, Redis, HBase, CouchDB, generic JDBC, and other database connectors.
History
DataTorrent has developed the platform since 2012 and then decided to open source the core that became Apache Apex.{{cite web|url=http://www.informationweek.com/big-data/software-platforms/apache-apex-is-promoted-to-top-level-project/d/d-id/1325275|title=Apache Apex Is Promoted To Top-Level Project|work=informationweek.com|date=27 April 2016 }} It entered incubation in August 2015 and became Apache Software Foundation top level project within 8 months. DataTorrent itself shut down in May 2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.datanami.com/2018/05/08/datatorrent-stream-processing-startup-folds/|title=DataTorrent, Stream Processing Startup, Folds|date=8 May 2018 }}
As of September 2019, Apache Apex is no longer being developed.
