Hi! Glad to hear you'er interested in contributing back to the community. Adding snappy to the C++ library sounds great.
Here's a link to the full guide on contributing: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Contribute It's pretty thorough, so here's a short version: 1) create an issue in our JIRA tracker: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO It should be listed as either 'improvement' or 'new feature.' 2) create a patch You can do this off of subversion, as you mention, and attach to the jira you made. Alternatively, if it's easier for you we also accept pull requests against the github mirror of our project: https://github.com/apache/avro I look forward to helping review your contribution. Please let us know if you have any other questions. -- Sean On Oct 10, 2015 12:04 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've done a bit of work that I'm using on a program where I have added > Snappy compression support to the C++ DataFile class.
