To: Reynold Xin <rx...@databricks.com>


Hi Reynold,

The problem here is that the commits closing those pull requests were fetched by our mirroring process, which doesn't have permission to close issues, instead of pushed by a user in the apache GitHub organization.

Usually the repository receives regular, I assume automated, pushes to its master branch, but there was a gap in those pushes between 2pm PDT on June 5th and 1:16 PM PDT June 7th. This happened at least once before back in November. Now that those pushes have resumed pull requests are closing normally once again.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
John



> I'm a committer on Apache Spark (the most active open source project in the data space). We use GitHub as the primary way to accept contributions. We use a custom merge script to merge pull requests rather than GitHub's merge button in order to preserve a linear commit history. Part of the merge script relies on the "closes #xxxx" feature to close the corresponding pull requests.

> I noticed recently that pull requests are no longer automatically closed, even if the commits are merged with the message "closes #xxxx". Here are two recent examples:

> Can you take a look at what's going on? Thanks.

> Github sync is behind, and I think this might've also cuased the recent issue (linked on jira) that github no longer closes merged pull requests. In the past when the sync is behind, it also happens that pull requests were not closed automatically.
