Hi all, In some cases we receive PRs/JIRAs with minor non-code improvements: * fix small typos in very specific places * empty lines/javadoc/comments * minor rewording
Personally, I feel that such changes have more negatives than positives for the Hive project and I am listing a few below: * Consume CI resources (runs are limited in Hive so minor PRs may block others from running) * Increase likelihood of merge conflicts during backports * Consume reviewers time (for checking and merging) * Consume contributors time (they could spend their time on more impactful changes) * Additional JIRA/git/mailing list traffic I tend to avoid looking/accepting/merging such contributions because I have a limited amount of time and would like to focus on more impactful changes. If other people have the same point of view then we could add a small mention in our contribution guide to save time from new contributors. If not, which is completely understandable, then we can continue to operate as we do and accept everything. Best, Stamatis
