The initial source code of the Apache Crunch project has been written mostly
by Josh Wills at [Cloudera](http://www.cloudera.com/) in 2011, based on
Google's FlumeJava library. The project was open sourced at GitHub soon
afterwards where serveral releases up to and including 0.2.4 were made.

In May 2012, Cloudera donated the source code to Apache and the project
entered the [Apache Incubator](http://incubator.apache.org). After 9 months at
the Incubator and three releases (0.3.0-incubating to 0.5.0-incubating), the
Apache Board of Directors established the Apache Crunch project in February
2013 as a new top level project.
