What happened to the Teradata Kylo product?

Question

• GitHub activity is just empty last month, at least
• download links for the latest release 0.10.1 (March, 2019) lead to nowhere
• same thing for VirtualBox images - AWS S3 bucket does not exist

My questions are:

• Is the project dead?
• Is there any open source active project which supersedes Kylo?

Here is the message posted in the Kylo Google Group:

Teradata made the decision to discontinue Kylo in early 2019. Teradata had been the sole sponsor of the open-source project and offered paid corporate training, consulting services, and enterprise subscriptions for support. The team was unable to immediately secure a new sponsor and devs have moved on to other projects.

The last official release of Kylo was March 2019. The downloads of the RPM and sandbox are no longer available but you may still build the RPM (or TAR) from maven.

Answer 2

According to the post pinned at the top of the Kylo community Google Group, Teradata decided to discontinue Kylo development and support in early 2019 and no new sponsor stepped forward to take over the project
