New to Apache Zookeeper

2017-02-24 Thread Tharindu Kumara
​Hi,

I'm Tharindu Kumara, and currently I am working as a Software Engineer in a
well known company. I'm really interested in helping out and contributing
to Apache Zookeeper Project . I've always loved to contribute to the open
source community and Apache Zookeeper seems like a brilliant place for me
to start.


I good at C/C++, Java, Python and JavaScript and I have more than 5 years
of experience in using these languages. And also I have a good knowledge on
Distributed Computing principals. Apart from that I have a good
knowledge about libraries like boost and build tools like ant, maven and
cmake.


During recent months, I read a lot about zookeeper. And I played with it to
get hand on experience.
I also played with exhibitor and apache curator as well.


It would be very kind of you If you could guide me along and assign me a
bug on which I could work and begin contributing to the open source
community .


Thank You​

A lovely thing to do would be to work on the tests.

In my experience, the test suite is unreliable (it fails about 2/3 or the time 
for me), so there are probably timing/concurrency issues that could be worked 
on.

As a starter, run the test suite, see what fails for you (to make sure you’re 
not picking up recent breakage, you could first confirm which tests fail 
against a released version, and find one that still fails against head), and 
see if you can make them pass.

Just my 2c, there are plenty of other worthy contenders for contribution, I’m 
sure.

Hi Yan,

Thank you so much for your comments. I will start from there. I would like
to know, whether there are any tickets for this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Umbrella jira to fix flaky test cases:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2135.
Probably, you could participate in code reviews(jira pull requests/patches
etc.). This will also help you to learn the system.
https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pulls

I hope you have visited
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/HowToContribute wiki
page. If not please read this, which is a good resource for new folks
interested in participating.

Thanks,
Rakesh

Re: New to Apache Zookeeper

2017-02-26 Thread Tharindu Kumara
Hi,

Thanks Rakesh for the information.

I have already went through the specified wiki page.

I think it is better if I start with fixing test cases.
In the mean time I will go through those pull requests.

One small question, when I looking at JIRA, I see that some tickets are in
open state but they are already assigned to someone. I like to know whether
I could fix that kind of ticket and submit a patch? I am new to open source
contribution.


Thanks,
Tharindu

Thanks for your interests on working on tests, it is a good area to get
started.

>> I see that some tickets are in open state but they are already assigned
to someone. I like to know whether I could fix that kind of ticket and
submit a patch?
Yes you could. Just comment on the JIRA mentioning you are interested and
we can go from there. There are lots of inactive JIRA issue that's assigned
but not actively being worked on (and you can easily tell if the JIRA is
active or not by checking the comment history.).
