How to contribute to Apache Arrow Java

Did you find a bug?

The Arrow Java project uses GitHub as a bug tracker. To report a bug, sign in to your GitHub account, navigate to GitHub issues and click on New issue .

Before you create a new bug entry, we recommend you first search among existing Arrow issues in GitHub.

Did you write a patch that fixes a bug or brings an improvement?

Create a GitHub issue and submit your changes as a GitHub Pull Request. Please make sure to reference the issue in your PR description.

Minor Fixes

Any functionality change should have a GitHub issue opened. For minor changes that affect documentation, you do not need to open up a GitHub issue. Instead you can prefix the title of your PR with "MINOR: " if it meets one of the following:

Grammar, usage and spelling fixes that affect no more than 2 files
Documentation updates affecting no more than 2 files and not more than 500 words.

Do you want to propose a significant new feature or an important refactoring?

We ask that all discussions about major changes in the codebase happen publicly on the arrow-dev mailing-list.

Do you have questions about the source code, the build procedure or the development process?

You can also ask on the mailing-list, see above.
