Pull Requests
-------------

We prefer to receive contributions in the form of GitHub pull requests. Please send pull requests against the [github.com/apache/parquet-mr](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr) repository. If you’ve previously forked Parquet from its old location, you will need to add a remote or update your origin remote to [https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr.git](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr.git) Here are a few tips to get your contribution in:
We prefer to receive contributions in the form of GitHub pull requests. Please send pull requests against the [github.com/apache/parquet-java](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java) repository. If you’ve previously forked Parquet from its old location, you will need to add a remote or update your origin remote to [https://github.com/apache/parquet-java.git](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java.git). Here are a few tips to get your contribution in:

1. Break your work into small, single-purpose patches if possible. It’s much harder to merge in a large change with a lot of disjoint features.
2. Create a JIRA for your patch on the [Parquet Project JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET).
3. Submit the patch as a GitHub pull request against the master branch. For a tutorial, see the GitHub guides on forking a repo and sending a pull request. Prefix your pull request name with the JIRA name (ex: [https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/5](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/5)).
2. Create an Issue on the [Parquet-Java issues](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/issues).
3. Submit the patch as a GitHub pull request against the master branch. For a tutorial, see the GitHub guides on forking a repo and sending a pull request. Prefix your pull request name with the Issue `GH-2935`: (ex: [https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/2951](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/2951)).
4. Make sure that your code passes the unit tests. You can run the tests with `mvn test` in the root directory.
5. Add new unit tests for your code.
6. All Pull Requests are tested automatically on [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/actions). [TravisCI](https://travis-ci.org/github/apache/parquet-mr) is also used to run the tests on ARM64 CPU architecture

If you’d like to report a bug but don’t have time to fix it, you can still post it to our [issue tracker](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET), or email the mailing list ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])).

Committers
----------

Merging a pull request requires being a committer on the project.
### Merging a Pull Request

How to merge a Pull request (have an apache and github-apache remote setup):
Merging a pull request requires being a committer on the project and approval of the PR by a committer who is not the author.

git remote add github-apache [email protected]:apache/parquet-mr.git
git remote add apache https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=parquet-mr.git
A pull request can be merged through the GitHub UI. By default, only [squash and merge](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/824b7d009eb41539cb0e2f73110efc0ac5694251/.asf.yaml#L29) is enabled on the project.

When the PR solves an existing issue, ensure that it references the issue in the Pull-Request template `Closes #1234`. This way the issue is linked to the PR, and GitHub will automatically close the relevant issue when the PR is being merged.

run the following command
### Tracking issues using Milestones

dev/merge_parquet_pr.py
When a PR is raised that fixes a bug, or a feature that you want to target a certain version, make sure to attach a [milestone](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/milestones). This way other committers can track certain versions, and see what is still pending. For information on the actual release, please check [the release page](releasing.md).

### Maintenance branches

example output:
Once a PR has been merged to master, it can be that the commit needs to be backported to maintenance [branches](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/branches), (ex: [1.14.x](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/tree/parquet-1.14.x)). The easiest way is to do this locally:

Which pull request would you like to merge? (e.g. 34):
Make sure that the remote is set up correctly:

```sh
git remote add github-apache [email protected]:apache/parquet-java.git
```

Type the pull request number (from [https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pulls](https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pulls)) and hit enter.
Now you can cherry-pick a PR to a previous branch:

=== Pull Request #X ===
title Blah Blah Blah
source repo/branch
target master
url https://api.github.com/repos/apache/parquet-mr/pulls/X

Proceed with merging pull request #3? (y/n):


If this looks good, type `y` and hit enter.

From gitbox.apache.org:/repos/asf/parquet-mr.git
* [new branch] master -> PR_TOOL_MERGE_PR_3_MASTER
Switched to branch 'PR_TOOL_MERGE_PR_3_MASTER'

Merge complete (local ref PR_TOOL_MERGE_PR_3_MASTER). Push to apache? (y/n):


A local branch with the merge has been created. Type `y` and hit enter to push it to apache master

Restoring head pointer to b767ac4e
Note: checking out 'b767ac4e'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at b767ac4... Update README.md
Deleting local branch PR_TOOL_MERGE_PR_X
Deleting local branch PR_TOOL_MERGE_PR_X_MASTER
Pull request #X merged!
Merge hash: 485658a5

Would you like to pick 485658a5 into another branch? (y/n):


For now just say `n` as we have 1 branch
```sh
get fetch --all
git checkout parquet-1.14.x
git reset --hard github-apache/parquet-1.14.x
git cherry-pick <hash-from-the-commit>
git push github-apache/parquet-1.14.x
```
