+# HertzBeat Improvement Proposal (HIP)
+
+## What is a HIP?
+
+The HIP is a "HertzBeat Improvement Proposal" and it's the mechanism used to 
propose changes to the Apache HertzBeat codebases.
+
+The changes might be in terms of new features, large code refactoring, changes 
to APIs.
+
+In practical terms, the HIP defines a process in which developers can submit a 
design doc, receive feedback and get the "go ahead" to execute.
+
+### What is the goal of a HIP?
+
+There are several goals for the HIP process:
+
+1. Ensure community technical discussion of major changes to the Apache 
HertzBeat codebase.
+
+2. Provide clear and thorough design documentation of the proposed changes. 
Make sure every HertzBeat developer will have enough context to effectively 
perform a code review of the Pull Requests.
+
+3. Use the HIP document to serve as the baseline on which to create the 
documentation for the new feature.
+
+4. Have greater scrutiny to changes are affecting the public APIs (as defined 
below) to reduce chances of introducing breaking changes or APIs that are not 
expressing an ideal semantic.
+
+It is not a goal for HIP to add undue process or slow-down the development.
+
+### When is a HIP required?
+
+* Any new feature for HertzBeat (Example: New Monitor Protocol)
+* Any change to the wire protocol APIs
+* Any large code change that will touch multiple components
+* Any change to the configuration

Review Comment:
   ```suggestion
   * Major new feature for HertzBeat (Example: support metrics push gateway, 
support logs monitoring)
   * Major change to the wire protocol APIs
   * Large code change that will touch multiple components
   ```
   hi, hertzbeat is still in the early development stage. If every feature 
needs to go through the hip process, it will slow down the development 
progress. It is recommended to change it to major features instead of any 
feature or configuration changes. After the project is stable, we can consider 
going through the hip process for any feature.
