It is adapted from the [Apache Incubator Report February 2026](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/February2026#cloudberry), with some modifications for readability. + +::: + + + +## Cloudberry + +Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of Pivotal Greenplum Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14 kernel, whereas Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade brings enhanced enterprise capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited for data warehousing, large-scale analytics, and AI/ML workloads. + +Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11. + +### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: + + 1. Grow the contributor and community to ensure long-term sustainability. + 2. Publish a few more Apache releases following the ASF release processes. + +### How has the community developed since the last report? + + - Mailing list Activity: 82 new emails on the Dev mailing list since the last report, covering community, repositories, support, technical and Apache-related discussions. + - GitHub Discussions: 5 new threads since last report. + - New Committers: Rose Duan + - Events: + - Hosted a Cloudberry community booth at the China Open Source Conference (COSCon'25) in Beijing, Dec 6-7, 2025. + - Apache Cloudberry Meetup organized in Shenzhen: 30+ attendees on Jan 17th + - Commenced Apache Cloudberry Bi-weekly Community Meeting, see details in https://s.apache.org/9ba4d, the 1st meeting was held on January 30, 2026. + +### How has the project developed since the last report? + + - PostgreSQL Kernel upgrade (14~>16): at this stage, most of the core enablement work for PostgreSQL 16.9 has been completed. Currently addressing Cloudberry schedule tests. + - Performance + - PAX: optimize I/O read for multiple discrete columns in a group. + - Add UDP2 interconnect protocol implementation (right now it is still an experimental feature). + - Set `join_collapse_limit` default value to 13. + - Stability + 1. Merged 72 commits, most of them - bugfixes and CI/CD improvements. + 2. Fixed 2 CVEs. + - CI and infra + 1. Added support for Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian packages to CI/CD + 2. Added support for Rocky Linux 8 to CI/CD + - Sub-repositories: + - `cloudberry-pxf`. After several months of continuous effort, the PXF project has recently achieved a significant milestone: + 1. The code baseline has been 100% aligned with the archived pxf-archive from GP. + 2. Completed full adaptation for Cloudberry. + 3. Added a relatively comprehensive and extensive CI pipeline for PXF. + 4. Source code cleanup is in progress. + - Squash `cloudberry-bootcamp` repository into `devops/sandbox` in the main repository catalog. + - New release: 2.1 + - Merged 244 commits from `main` to `REL_2_STABLE`. We're ready to release Cloudberry 2.1. + - Ecosystem + 1. Madlib integration is still in progress.
