+# 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
+
+### When is a HIP *not* required?
+
+* Bug-fixes
+* Simple enhancements that won't affect the APIs or the semantic
+* Small documentation changes
+* Small website changes
+
+### Who can create a HIP?
+
+Any person willing to contribute to the Apache HertzBeat project is welcome to 
create a HIP.
+
+## How does the HIP process work?
+
+A HIP proposal can be in these states:
+1. **DRAFT**: (Optional) This might be used for contributors to collaborate 
and to seek feedback on an incomplete version of the proposal.
+
+2. **DISCUSSION**: The proposal has been submitted to the community for 
feedback and approval.
+
+3. **ACCEPTED**: The proposal has been accepted by the HertzBeat project.
+
+4. **REJECTED**: The proposal has not been accepted by the HertzBeat project.
+
+5. **IMPLEMENTED**: The implementation of the proposed changes have been 
completed and everything has been merged.
+
+6. **RELEASED**: The proposed changes have been included in an official
+   Apache HertzBeat release.
+
+
+The process works in the following way:
+
+1. Fork https://github.com/apache/HertzBeat repository (Using the fork button 
on GitHub).
+2. Clone the repository, and on it, copy the file `hip/TEMPLATE.md` and name 
it `hip-xxx.md`. The number `xxx` should be the next sequential number after 
the last contributed HIP. You view the list of contributed HIPs (at any status) 
as a list of Pull Requests having a "HIP" label. Use the link 
[here](https://github.com/apache/HertzBeat/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Ahip+) as 
shortcut.
