[RFC] Usage Data Collection in Ray #20857
Description
Hi all!
I'd like to get your thoughts on this below proposal which will impact a large number of Ray users.
The Ray team is proposing to enable the collection of usage statistics data in Ray, which will be used to understand how to improve Ray.
Here is the proposal. You will always be able to disable and request deletion usage data collection as described in the proposal [link].
As the Ray project and community have grown, the surface area of Ray has increased a lot, and it’s been increasingly difficult for us to understand how to best spend our time and efforts to improve Ray. We are proposing a lightweight usage statistics and data collection mechanism to help us discover and address the most pressing issues.
While many will appreciate the actionable insights this data provides, we also recognize that not everyone wants to send usage data. Again, we will make sure that you can always disable collection and/or request usage data deletion as described in the proposal [link].
Please feel free to give your feedback, on this issue or in #data-collection-feedback channel on the Ray Slack!
Update: We'll keep this RFC open for 2 weeks, starting on 12/2 to 12/16.
