Clarification on BigDL and Analytics-Zoo status

Open bendavidsteel opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The Intel page for BigDL indicates that BigDL merging Analytics-Zoo into the BigDL project, and that Analytics-Zoo is now a legacy tool. This is backed up by BigDL seeming to provide all the functionality Analytics-Zoo offers. This statement only appears on the Intel website.

Could clarification be provided on this?

@bendavidsteel See the latest information at https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL (in particular, https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/blob/branch-2.0/README.md).

At this stage, Analytics Zoo is still actively maintained (no changes to the current users); in addition, we are working on BigDL 2.0, which will be a future release (combining the original BigDL and Analytics Zoo projects).

Thanks for the clarification! Could it maybe be indicated to new users in the Analytics-Zoo readme that this is taking place? Might avoid new users committing to Analytics-Zoo rather than BigDL
