Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project. Head over to https://cla.developers.google.com/ to see your current agreements on file or to sign a new one.
You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it again.
This repo is generally not accepting contributions or feature requests for new templates or large chunks of new functionality unless a partner organization is willing to sponsor building/maintaining/supporting those templates in a formal agreement with Google.
If you are part of an organization interested in this, please reach out to the Dataflow team directly using the Google Issue Tracker.
Existing Templates will continue to receive bug fixes and minor feature upgrades. Examples of features that will continue to be considered include:
- Exposing new parameters/features added to existing I/Os in Beam
- Performance improvements that don't dramatically alter the template
- Small quality of life improvements that make templates more usable
For information on making code contributions, see our code contribution guide.
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.
Some PRs will receive automatic reviews, while some will require requesting review manually. For information on this process, see Code Owners.
