+Apache Druid is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
+sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects
+until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
+making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
+While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability
+of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
