Hi Louis, It's true that we have neglected a bit curating the JIRA tasks for newbies.
My suggestion would be to have a look in recently created bugs with no assignee that lead to an exception [1] and pick one that you understand the most. Usually it is easier to get started if there is a test case reproducing the problem that leads to an exception. Best, Stamatis [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4401?jql=project%20%3Dcalcite%20and%20type%20%3D%20Bug%20and%20resolution%20is%20EMPTY%20and%20assignee%20%20IS%20EMPTY%20and%20text%20~%20Exception%20ORDER%20BY%20createdDate%20DESC On Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 3:49 AM Chunwei Lei <chunwei.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > Welcome, Louis. > > You can take over some tickets that do not have an assignee. > > Best, > Chunwei > > > On Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 4:22 AM Xiaowei Kuang <louis.xwku...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I'm trying to learn more and build up my understanding about > > Calcite's system internals by working on small beginner tasks.
