[VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-23 Thread CodingCat
Hi, all

To make the changes in code base more trackable,

I would propose to link each PR with the a JIRA from now on:

1. most of PRs should be titled as [MXNET-???][MODULE_NAME] PR short
description, where MXNET-??? is the JIRA ID, MODULE_NAME can be python,
scala, symbol, etc.

2. only the very tiny fix, e.g. fix a typo, remove some unused variables,
or the hotfix which brings the broken build back to track, can be filed
without JIRA ID in title,

In JIRA side, to link the issue with an arrived PR, we can run a script
like https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/dev/github_jira_sync.py to
update JIRA status (can be run in Jenkins)


The benefits of applying such a flow include (but not limited to)

1. facilitate the release process:

e.g., as long as tagging each JIRA with the correct affected version and
fixed version, the release manager can quickly identify what are the
changes applied in this version; or we can quickly identify whether there
is any blocker issue in the JIRA

2. trackable changes

any changes in MXNET can be quickly searched through JIRA or even through
Google (JIRA looks like did something makes it more indexable by Google),


If the vote gets pass,  the plan in the near horizon includes

1. update JIRA with the modules names

2. write runbook for release manager/committer for releasing new
version/merging patches, as well as contributors about the usage of JIRA

3. push the changes to the existing and coming PRs (this also needs the
collaboration across the whole committer team)

The vote will end at 12:00 p.m. of March 2nd, 2018

Best,

Nan

2018-02-23 Thread Marco de Abreu
Hello Nan,

Good suggestion!

"hotfix which brings the broken build back to track" nitpicking, but I
wouldn't consider this a tiny fix. There should also be a jira that
reported the build being broken, so that shouldn't be a problem to link.

Very good idea with the automated script!

How would we handle permissions? Which actions are non-committers able to
execute and in which cases would a committer be required?

How would we treat GitHub issues in future? As a board for users to ask
usage questions?

In order to improve user experience for new developers, I'd like to suggest
that more experienced people might create jira tickets on behalf of others
instead of telling them "please create a ticket". I think we all made the
experience with people from it department who blocked every request until a
ticket was created and assigned :P

Best regards,
Marco

Hi, Marco,

Thanks for the questions

> wouldn't
consider this a tiny fix. There should also be a jira that reported the
build being broken, so that shouldn't be a problem to link.

For this I would still prefer keep it as a case without a JIRA (though not
a tiny fix), the hotfix here actually refers to the process of "identify
which commit broke the build, revert the commit". After the hotfix, we
should "reopen the JIRA associated with the commit, and let the original
author resume the work on that"

> How would we handle permissions? Which actions are non-committers able to 
> execute
and in which cases would a committer be required?

the general idea is that:

non-committers:

* create/modify/close their own JIRAs,

* link JIRAs, etc.

committers:

* create/modify/close all JIRAs,

* assign JIRA to someone (note, this action should be done when a PR is
available, otherwise, anyone can work on this JIRA)

* set target version of JIRA (i.e. committers should plan the dev work),
this action can be performed before/after PR is merged

> How would we treat GitHub issues in future? As a board for users to ask usage
questions?

Yes, that's also my understanding

> In order to improve user experience for new developers, I'd like to
suggest that more experienced people might create jira tickets on behalf of
others instead of telling them "please create a ticket"

my concern is that potential bottleneck on more experienced people, we
would encourage the new devs follow the management strategy of the
community from their first day, and getting familiar with Apache's JIRA can
be part of it.

I think "please create a ticket" might be painful in the first few weeks as
people always needs to get used to something new.

I would suggest all committers collaborate together to ensure that the idea
(if it is good) can be accepted in the community-wide and realized as fast
as possible

Your thoughts?

Best,

Nan

i believe that JIRAs are “work items@, while github issues are more like
reporting. at least this is what Infra sort of claimed.

ideally,

users report something fishy in github issue

when confirmed that it is a bug or something to be improved, we should
create JIRAs

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Steffen Rochel
Nan - have you looked at plugin's to make the integration and
synchronization between Jira and github easier? E.g.
https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira-software/connecting-jira-6-2-github f
Ideally one has one button in github to create a Jira and afterwards
changes on either github or Jira get synchronized.
What tools is ASF infra recommending?
Have you used
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/dev/github_jira_sync.py and
what is the recommended use case? How do get github issues updated from
Jira?

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Suneel Marthi
All projects on Apache have Jira <---> Github integration in place.

So its a solved problem - look at Flink, Kafka, Mahout, OpenNLP,
PredictionIO and every other Apache project - all of them have this working.

Hi, Suneel,

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Suneel Marthi
Suggest you see how other projects are doing it - Flink, Kafka or any other
project.

Yes u r right.

When u make a github PR with PR label in title like [Flink-3456] for eg: -
that way the corresponding JIRA - Flink-3456 here would be automatically
updated.

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Nan Zhu
Thanks, Suneel!

the vote still remains sense on its major points

"
1. most of PRs should be titled as [MXNET-???][MODULE_NAME] PR short
description, where MXNET-??? is the JIRA ID, MODULE_NAME can be python,
scala, symbol, etc.

2. only the very tiny fix, e.g. fix a typo, remove some unused variables,
or the hotfix which brings the broken build back to track, can be filed
without JIRA ID in title,
"

though we do not need additional efforts to make it happen,

the only thing we need to get a consensus on is that, we need to use JIRA
to track work items and title PRs with JIRA ids

Hi, all, a friendly reminder, the vote will be ended at 12:00 p.m. on this
Friday


Best,

Nan

Any reason u need the [MODULE_NAME] in there - I would -1 that

[MXNET-XYZ] is unique enuf to identify the specific module - not to mention
that the different modules can be setup to label each jira - so
[MODULE-blah] is unnecessary.

Agreed - and in this case the convention has been to use [NO-JIRA] in title.

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Nan Zhu
> Any reason u need the [MODULE_NAME] in there

It will help the reviewers to identify what are the interesting PRs to them

e.g. I am interested in scala package, but
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/9771, even with a JIRA id,
cannot help me to identify it's a scala part change I may be interested in

> What ??? elaborate please??

we do not need additional engineering efforts to implement sync

the only thing is to get this vote passed, and all committers do not merge
the PRs unless there is a JIRA (except the situations in 2)

Well,, yeah maybe ... the JIRA would be labeled as Scala API anyways - so

Re: [VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-02-27 Thread Marco de Abreu

rather tag the JIRA issues properly.

JIRA is ancient and arcane. This adds unnecessary overhead.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-06 Thread Chris Olivier
Eric,

while you may not be, most people are using some sort of
crappy-JIRA-like-tool (such as SIM) which is both way behind JIRA in
utility and usability as well as not public, so the rest of the world can’t
see the backlog or what work orders are or whatever. the development
process does not appear open, and this may contribute to the slow adoption
of mxnet.
a lot of us are also struggling with internal
ticketing tools which are kind of rude to use for non-critical problems,
IMHO and JIRA can help to alleviate these pain-points by having a place to
translate github issues to work items.

not sure how it could be considered arcane. compared to what?

github has issues such as you must be a committer to assign an item, as
well as other issues revolving around write access to the repository. in
addition, it’s a pretty feature-weak tool compared to JIRA both in
scrum/kanban/module/etc ways as well as reporting tools. github is still
useful for issue reporting, with JIRA being actual work-items (something
there is no public equivalent today)

Would it be possible to add the instruction to the PR template (along with

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-07 Thread Aaron Markham
I'm not quite sure if I have enough background on reasons for or against
this to vote in the next round, but my two cents: I didn't see much debate
on why we need yet another tool for issues that we have to manually
maintain...the vote kind of slid in there without many stakeholders
realizing what they were being signed up for. I was thinking, sure, if YOU
want to make jira tickets, go right ahead. I have two internal ticketing
systems to deal with already that assign tasks on MXNet, plus GitHub. Jira
would be four. Happy to make it work, but I'll need fifth tool to aggregate
communications and metrics between the other four tools! I'm only sort of
joking.

I saw Chris's response, and ok the public visibility part makes sense, but
does this phase out any other overhead? Does it integrate? Jira has
integration options so maybe we can eliminate some overhead... Like
something that hooks into the GitHub api and generates jira tickets on the
fly... I want to believe there's a plan that makes this all easier.

What value I don't see is how we lower barriers to contribution and make it
more fluid for new users that could become contributors. What's the story
and value proposition?

Also, I don't see any docs on the website or on github on how to sign up
for jira, or how to contribute according to this new requirement anywhere
on the site. Myself and new contributors wouldn't know what the expected
flow looks like because it's not really accessible. I now see the
confluence wiki, but that's pretty much hidden from anyone browsing the
site or github and looking to contribute. Why is this info on confluence at
all? Why not in the docs on github that are rendered to the website? Or
conversely, why is some of the info on github and on the website, if it is
being maintained and current only on confluence?

These are two separate issues really, but I think if you want buy-in, this
needs to be more transparent and obvious, and provide clear reasons and
benefits to why you're asking for more overhead.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-07 Thread Chris Olivier
The vote was discussed on private@ before the vote on dev@, and the vote
went on for a very long time.  There was ZERO resistance.   No one "snuck"
it in or "slipped it by".

This, hopefully, phases out both SIM and tt, which are both are being used
in ways that aren't what they're even designed for, IMO.  Trouble tickets
are being used as a backlog for my team, which is insane.

I've actually sent out a couple of mails on dev about contact me if you
don't have access to JIRA.  If you would like to participate in the
direction of the project, please keep up with the dev email list.

I gave you contributor permissions on JIRA, btw.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-07 Thread Naveen Swamy
I am +1 for using JIRA. Managing bigger projects within MXNet on JIRA
brings openness to the project. MXNet Users and the contributors also get a
sense of where the project is heading.
Bigger Tasks can be divided into sub-tasks which contributors can pick up
small tasks based on their expertise on and contribute independently.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-07 Thread Marco de Abreu
I also see this as a big advantage in terms of transparency. I personally
will try to move away from any company internal issue trackers (except for
confidential cases) and instead work on Jira that is being managed by the
community. This allows everybody to see what is being worked on and gives
them the possibility to chime with ideas or suggestions.

In my opinion, this obsoletes TT and SIM to a big extent. It's up to you if
you maintain multiple issue trackers or stick to one. If anybody has a
(non-confidential) issue that's related to my work on CI, I ask them to
create a GitHub issue instead of a company internal ticket - I invite
everybody to do the same.

MXNet is an open source project and moving away from company internal
trackers towards community driven ones is the next logical step in my
opinion. At the moment, everybody is working on their own and it's hard to
see for external people (or even developer who are not part of the same
team) what we're actually working on.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Marco de Abreu
Would it be possible to automatically create JIRA tickets when a GitHub
issue is being created? We could then mirror all comments the same way it's
happening in https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MXNET/issues/MXNET-42
but make sure that the bot works in both ways. A comment on GitHub would be
copied to JIRA and a JIRA comment to GitHub. I think this would be good as
a first step to start integration.

+1 on both suggestions

a bit concern is on the quality of JIRA which is created automatically

I can see a lot of PRs are not described comprehensively, if we just post
what in description to JIRA, it's error-propagating


but the quality of JIRA is a big topic worth more discussions

2018-03-08 Thread Sheng Zha
The PR template is designed for that and its poor adoption is causing the same 
issue of missing information in PRs. My concern of using JIRA is that more 
overhead would deter contribution and worsen the quality of description.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Chris Olivier
Ideally, the JIRA work item should be created before coding starts -- long
before the PR.  So, I would suggest we don;t automatically create JIRAs
because then it sort of defeats the purpose of JIRA managing a backlog.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Chris Olivier
My $0.02 about the PR template.

I think it's a good idea.  I think (just my opinion) is that the adoption
is low because it started out too big and daunting.  It may get more
adoption if we started a little smaller -- with maybe two checkboxes" and
also didn't have a line at the top stating "Description", because that feel
skind of awkward and github inserts extended label info above it sometimes.

Just an idea.

Cool. Feel free to propose a change to the PR template.

How would JIRA be less daunting to new users?

Almost all Apache projects use JIRA.  It's been proven to work in
open-source.
Having backlog/development process public hopefully will help adoption.
Right now, what new users?  Adoption is very slow, so I think it's hard to
argue that the current way of doing things is effective.

2018-03-08 Thread Nan Zhu
just giving an example about Chris's opinion (how JIRA would help for more
new users)

I can see Spark 2.4 is highly possible to include the nested column pruning
in parquet file from its JIRA (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4502)

it's hard for me to have any source to get the similar expectation for MXNET

Best,

Nan

Good points on keeping a public backlog. Should we expect new contributors to 
create such backlog items? Or who should own the responsibility of creating 
backlog items?

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Chris Olivier
Anyone can create a backlog item/JIRA ticket.

Obvious cases might include:

* Someone thinks of a task and (optionally) wants to develop it themselves,
so they create a backlog item and assign it to themself, putting it into
"in progress" mode.
* Someone dreams up a large feature and wants to create an epic with 30
subtasks, so they create the epic and its subtasks (grooming)
* Someone wants to just pick up a random pre-existing backlog item to work
on

I do think that backlog items should be restricted to actual work items and
not general issue reporting, but I'm certainly open to how other Apache
projects like Spark do that.  So far it seems like github issues do a
pretty good job of that.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

There should be an easy way to translate all the existing github issues
into work items in JIRA(Considering the work on labelling that is done for
github issues).
Does the JIRA bot handle this ?

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Xingjian SHI
There is no issue page in Spark (https://github.com/apache/spark) and they rely 
solely on JIRA to track the working items. This is different from what we are 
doing now. MXNet associate PRs to working items by linking them to the Github 
issues, e.g, https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/10029 links to 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/9950. If we rely on JIRA in 
the future, we need to emphasize the difference between Github issues and JIRA 
items or disable Github/issues and forces users to use JIRA.

Personally, I think these two have similar functionalities and why don't we 
directly use Github issues? It's much easier for users as they do not need to 
create another account. Their contributions to MXNet (including creating 
issues) would also be directly displayed  in the Github homepage, which 
encourages them to do more for the community.

Best,
Xingjian

just giving an example about Chris's opinion (how JIRA would help for more
new users)

I can see Spark 2.4 is highly possible to include the nested column pruning
in parquet file from its JIRA (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4502)
[SPARK-4502] Spark SQL reads unneccesary nested fields 
...<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4502>
issues.apache.org
When reading a field of a nested column from Parquet, SparkSQL reads and 
assemble all the fields of that nested column. This is unnecessary, as Parquet 
supports fine ...




it's hard for me to have any source to get the similar expectation for MXNET

Best,

Nan

2018-03-08 Thread Naveen Swamy
I don't think we should transfer all Github issues to Jira that will make
Jira issues unmanageable and pretty useless, also not all issues are being
worked on or will be worked on. I like the idea of using Jira as a backlog,
so contributors/committers create Jira tasks/projects based on what they
are working on.

To summarize:

- JIRA might be more maintainer friendly(have more features for tracking
progress etc.)
- Github issues are more community friendly (it has been the way most
people contribute, and have lower bar of entry).

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Xingjian SHI
We can also consider to give a special label for all the issues that are 
"working items". There are lots of efforts spent on assigning the correct label 
to Github issues. We can then easily select the issues we are interested in, 
e.g, 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Feature+request%22

I don't think we should transfer all Github issues to Jira that will make
Jira issues unmanageable and pretty useless, also not all issues are being
worked on or will be worked on. I like the idea of using Jira as a backlog,
so contributors/committers create Jira tasks/projects based on what they
are working on.

There are a lot of issues out there which can be translated to work
items(for e.g. labels such as "Call For Contribution", "Feature" and "Bugs")
There should be an easy way to translate these to work items in JIRA.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Xingjian SHI
What's the expected workflow if we use JIRA? I'm not clear about that. 
Currently I'll 1) submit the PR, 2) describe what's done in the PR in detail 
and refer to the related Github issues, 3) create the JIRA item by copying the 
PR description, 4) change the title of the PR to [MXNET-JIRA_ID]ORIGINAL_TITLE. 
During the process I find step-3/4 are somehow unnecessary.


Best,

Xingjian

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Chris Olivier
You should create the JIRA before you start work (long before the PR) so
that people know what's being worked on and don't overlap.  Ideally,
anything people work on should have been in JIRA for some time before work
starts so that there is some sort of holistic view of the direction of the
project rather than the way it is now, where PR's just appear out of
nowhere.

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Xingjian SHI
How should we use Github issues if we do that? Currently it's supposed that 
issues are created before the PR.

You should create the JIRA before you start work (long before the PR) so
that people know what's being worked on and don't overlap.  Ideally,
anything people work on should have been in JIRA for some time before work
starts so that there is some sort of holistic view of the direction of the
project rather than the way it is now, where PR's just appear out of
nowhere.

[SPARK-4502] Spark SQL reads unneccesary nested fields 
...<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4502>

When reading a field of a nested column from Parquet, SparkSQL reads and 
assemble all the fields of that nested column. This is unnecessary, as Parquet 
supports fine ...

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] tracking code changes with JIRA by associating pull requests

2018-03-08 Thread Chris Olivier
Workflow should be:

1. Create JIRA or select JIRA from backlog
2. Mark JIRA as "In Progress"
3. Work on code and submit PR
the PR needs to start with [MXNET-XXX]
that way the JIRA has the latest updates from github
4. Once PR has been approved., commit the PR
5. Mark the Jira as Resolved and then Closed
