Hi Hadoop Devs,

Just curious whether we can get some pull requests merged in. Yetus
will continue to spam open pull requests with walls of text, drowning
out any potential human conversation. This doesn't seem to be
particularly helpful in general, but it is especially bad if the pull
request is open for a long time, and isn't addressed.

Here's a trivial pull request that should be merged to fix a typo in a
javadoc, but was closed instead of being merged, because of the spam
and lack of human response:

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/350

Here's another relatively simple change to support immutable Hadoop
configuration views (not entirely trivial, but not very difficult,
either), that was closed, because it was ignored and Yetus got too
spammy:

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/473
(to address https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11223)


My questions are:

1. Why is there no active response to users that submit pull requests?
2. Does Yetus really need to drown human conversation threads on
GitHub with walls of automated text? (vs. using the GitHub checks API
or similar brief status message)
3. Can somebody take a look at these two pull requests and merge them
or explain what is needed to get them merge-ready?

Thanks,

Christopher
