Github introduced a new feature today that allows projects to define templates for pull requests. I pushed a very simple template to the repository:
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE Over time I think we can see how this works and perhaps add a small checklist to the pull request template so contributors are reminded every time they submit a pull request the important things to do in a pull request (e.g. having proper tests). ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? (Please fill in changes proposed in this fix) ## How was the this patch tested? (Please explain how this patch was tested. E.g. unit tests, integration tests, manual tests) (If this patch involves UI changes, please attach a screenshot; otherwise, remove this)
