As a break out from the other thread. I'd like to propose two guidelines for pull requests. These guidelines are to make things easier to track for developers and users, and to help organize the large number of PR's that we are receiving. Thoughts?
1. Pull requests will require associated JIRA's. We will ask people to create a JIRA if there is none yet. 2. Pull request names should ideally convey: (a) The JIRA name (b) A title summarizing the patch (c) [optional prefix] The library it is related to (d) [optional prefix] WIP or RFC if it is not finished. Example names: SPARK-123: Add some feature to Spark [STREAMING] SPARK-123: Add some feature to Spark streaming [MLLIB] [WIP] SPARK-123: Some potentially useful feature for MLLib - Patrick
