THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

When you have a patch that you consider ready for submission, submit it to our code review tool called Gerrit (see Using Gerrit to submit and review patches for details). You’ll see an e-mail go out to the dev@impala.incubator.apache.org list.
As time permits, someone from the core team will review your patch. You will likely need to submit an updated patch with some changes - reply to all the comments in Gerrit at the same time (mark as ‘Done’ those suggestions that you’ve taken without further comment). This process can go back and forth for a while - please don’t be discouraged, you’ll see it happens with all patches!

We maintain a mailing list at dev@impala.incubator.apache.org, which is the right place for Impala development discussions. Questions about using Impala still belong on the Impala user list, which is user@impala.incubator.apache.org.
