Communicating
Community Forums
Customers and users of Cloudera's platform can post questions, get advice, build online reputations, and generally participate in a wide selection of community discussion forums. These forums are monitored by committers and support personnel.
Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are a good way to share your knowledge with other community members who may need help or advice.
- Cloudera mailing lists (for CDH, Impala, and more)
- Apache mailing lists: see individual projects for mailing list names
Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
IRC is a another good method for group or private discussion; several channels (#hadoop, #hadoop-pig, #hive, #hbase, etc.) are available for Hadoop-related communities.
Participating
Social Networks
Sharing your knowledge via social communities and networks is a form of contribution:
Contributing
Contributing to Apache Projects
Most Hadoop-related projects are managed via the Apache Software Foundation; contributions may be made via the Apache JIRA system.
Contributing to non-Apache Projects
- A few projects, such as those not yet incubating at Apache, are managed via Github repositories.
- Fork a Repo: Contributing to Github projects
- Cloudera projects on Github (Hue, Impala, etc.)
