Hmm... That would would be difficult to track in bulk, though. It's true that I have closed all 0.94.x issues when 0.94.x is released. That has been very helpful to identify jiras that folks mislabel later (which happens very frequently).
The argument could also be made that *any* release should lead to closing the issue (as long as it has a fix for said version, of course).At that point the code is out in the wild and is used, any change now should require a new jira. -- Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Purtell <apurt...@apache.org> To: dev@hbase.apache.org Cc: Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 12:19 PM Subject: Re: Resolved JIRAs On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 11:06 AM, Lars George <lars.geo...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is exactly my point, ie the former case.

IMHO: The commiter should set the state to 'Resolved' after the change is applied to all desired target branches. The RM for the _last_ affected release should set the state to 'Closed', essentially garbage collecting when refcount goes to 0. -- Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
