The HCatalog SVN repository is synced to a read-only git repository. This git repo is provided as a developer convenience, with SVN being the only writable repo.

git clone git://git.apache.org/hcatalog.git

Contributor Roadmaps

As an Apache project, HCatalog features are community-driven rather than centrally planned. For this reason, its important for contributors to communicate at a high-level the features they plan on developing, so others understand what's being contributed, how it affects existing goals, and can meaningfully provide feedback.

For some issues, the Jira description may be enough. For larger projects, an umbrella Jira or design doc in the wiki would be appropriate. As a rule of thumb, if a feature will be implemented as more than three Jiras an umbrella issue or design doc should be used.

Making Changes

Before you start, send a message to the HCatalog developer mailing list, or file a bug report in JIRA. Describe your proposed changes and check that they fit in with what others are doing and have planned for the project. Be patient, it may take folks a while to understand your requirements.
