Newbie wanting to get involved with Giraph development
Hi,
I'm a newbie to Giraph and ASF projects in general. I would like to
help with Giraph development and think I've found the perfect JIRA to
start: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-63.
Before I make any code changes, however, I'd like to know more about
the development process of this project. What is a good place to start
learning about this?
Thank you,
Shaunak

I'll add you as a contributor and assign 63 to you. Go ahead and get
started. Thanks for the contribution!

Thanks for the advice Claudio and Avery. I've read the
trunk/CODE_CONVENTIONS file and will submit my patch for review on
https://reviews.apache.org.
One more question:
Even though I have signed up for a JIRA account I am unable to assign
GIRAPH-63 to myself. Do I need to be added to the GIRAPH project by
someone before I can do that? Or do I just start work without
assigning this to myself?
Thanks,
Shaunak

Claudio gave great advice. The only thing I'd like to add is that you
also might want to consider using reviewboard for throwing up patches
(https://reviews.apache.org/) as it helps to get line-by-line comments
and suggestions. Definitely email the mailing lists if you have
questions and have fun!

Hi,
I don't know if there's anything such as an official Development
Process, I can share how I usually do when I contribute to ASF
projects.
(1) Considering there's already an open issue (a ticket in the JIRA)
I'd download from SVN the version to which the issue applies, I'd
write the fix, test it through unittests that come with the project
(and fix them if necessary) and create the patch (svn diff >
ISSUE.diff is the way I do) that I later attach it to the issue.
(2) If there's not open issue yet about a bug or a feature missing, if
it's trivial (such as the one you've chosen) I'd write the patch as in
(1) and open the issue describing the problem by attaching the fix. If
it's not trivial I'd open the issue and wait for some contribution to
the discussion. Learn from the other issues you find on the JIRA.
Make sure to follow CODE_CONVENTIONS file ( ;-) ).
I'm expecting the experts to give more insights about the process.
Hope this helps,
Claudio
