Contributing to LogDevice

We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible.

Our Development Process

The LogDevice source on GitHub is replicated from the internally managed LogDevice code. Pull requests are reviewed by the LogDevice team and when accepted, imported to the internal version. Once the change is imported, export to GitHub is automatically triggered and the pull request is closed. Branch history may be "squashed" through this process, eliminating merges and resulting in a single commit.

In the open source build, most third-party libraries are expected to be preinstalled in system locations. The exceptions are:

folly changes relatively often and we want to be mostly uptodate with it. For this reason we include it in our repository as a git submodule. The git submodule is updated as changes are made to folly. In practice this seems to happen every few hours.

RocksDB: We use features from newer versions or RocksDB than what distributions prepackage. For this reason we include it in our repository as a git submodule. The git submodule is manually updated as needed.
