The Apache Project continues to thrive and push out new projects. Today the organization announced that six projects have moved to Top-Level Project (TLP) status.
Of the projects, five were sub-projects and one has come up from Apache's Incubator program. Apache Traffic Server, a caching proxy server that was initially a commercial project from Yahoo, handles serving static content for busy sites. According to Apache and Yahoo, the server is capable of handling more than 75,000 requests per second and feeds Yahoo's audience more than 400 terabytes of traffic per day.
The sub-projects making the cut are Mahout, Tika, Nutch, Avro, and HBase. Mahout, Tika, and Nutch all hail from Lucene, while Avro and HBase started as Hadoop sub-projects. All of the projects are available under the Apache Software License version 2.0.
The skew of projects seem to focus on search and social web sites. Apache has had a banner year for new TLPs, with the six announced today added to five other graduates announced since the beginning of the year. Subversion, Cassandra, the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA), Apache Click, and Shindig have joined the ranks in 2010.
