Two open source data infrastructure projects graduate from the Apache Incubator, signalling stronger community maturity while boosting big-data performance and interoperability across modern data platforms.
Two major open source data infrastructure projects—Apache Gluten and Apache Polaris—have graduated from the Apache Incubator to become Top-Level Projects (TLPs) at the Apache Software Foundation. The move marks a significant milestone for both projects, reflecting strong community governance, project maturity, and sustainable open source development within the Apache ecosystem.
Apache Gluten is an open source middle-layer plugin designed to accelerate SQL and DataFrame workloads in Apache Spark. It improves performance by offloading compute-intensive operations from Spark’s JVM-based environment to high-performance native engines such as Velox and ClickHouse. The architecture is also extensible, enabling future integration with ASF technologies including Apache DataFusion. The result is faster analytics processing and lower costs for big-data workloads.
