Sean Owen commented on SPARK-4224:
----------------------------------
I'd encourage anyone to read
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2012/07/09.html starting especially around
"feature backlogs". I think Spark suffers badly from this problem, since a lot
of well-meaning contributors (this is not directed at you or anyone in
particular) have never experienced this and tend to think filing JIRAs is
actually a contribution in itself.
If something's on a to-do list that long, it's not that important, and by
definition isn't really something worthy of a list of to-dos that you share and
plan around. That is, if you (or anyone else) haven't bothered in 16 months,
why now? I find keeping things open is merely seductive: maybe someone will
work on it for us? we can't seriously not do this right? -- but is actually
damaging. The flip side is: someone might take from this that group ACLs will
be implemented, when evidence is that it will not be. It indicates someone
should open a PR for it, when I don't know if anyone would review it.
I'd prefer to leave it, go investigate why it hasn't been prioritized, and then
decide to prioritize it -- and then reopen it. But, this exchange is more than
enough for the moment.
