Migrating Kudu JIRA to the ASF

[Mike Percy <mp...@apache.org>]

Hi all,
Over the last few weeks I've been working with Apache infra to come up with
a procedure to migrate our current JIRA instance over to Apache. We've done
a bunch of testing and now have a date for the final migration. We'll be
performing the migration on Tuesday, Feb 23, at 12:30pm PST. About an hour
prior to that, I'll export a JIRA dump from the existing JIRA and run the
scripts to prepare it for import into another JIRA instance. As soon as
that export is done, I'll set the current JIRA [1] to read-only and we'll
begin the import process. This may take an hour or two to complete. Once
this is done, I'll send out a new email pointing to the new JIRA [2] and
letting folks know that the process is complete.

Please let me know if you have any concerns and thank you for your patience
during the migration process.

Mike

[1] Current Kudu JIRA instance: https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/KUDU
[2] ASF Kudu JIRA instance: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU
(note: this instance will only contain a few test issues until after the
migration is complete)
