To newer Impala contributors out there: Thank you for contributing! I hope you continue contributing!
To increase your understanding of Impala and make your next contribution easier, you could consider investing time in code reviews! You can watch existing reviews at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-impala-reviews/ or https://lists.apache.org/list.html?revi...@impala.apache.org or https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/q/project:Impala-ASF I find reviewing code is very educational for me. If there is a change I want to do but don't have the time or expertise for, I try to follow the review of that code when someone else gets around to writing the change. High quality reviewing is also one path towards committership.
