@Rocky is there any way to track StarRocks bugs other than Github issues?

While GitHub Issues is the primary and official way to track StarRocks bugs, there are several other community channels and methods you can use to report problems, seek help, or track ongoing discussions: 1. Slack Community: This is the most active place for real-time discussions. You can join the StarRocks Slack and report issues in channels like

#troubleshooting

or

#support

. Often, bugs are identified and discussed here before being formalized into GitHub issues. 2. Community Forum: You can visit the StarRocks Forum to post questions, search for existing problems, and interact with other users and developers. 3. Documentation Feedback: If you find a bug or error while browsing the official documentation, you can use the Feedback button located in the upper-right corner of the documentation pages. This allows you to report specific issues related to the content or the product directly from the site. 4. Community Meetings: The StarRocks community holds regular meetings (often announced on Slack or the website) where roadmap items and critical bugs are sometimes discussed. For formal tracking and to ensure a bug is officially assigned to a developer, the community generally recommends ultimately filing a GitHub Issue.

@Rocky any plans for dedicated bug tracker?

Currently, StarRocks uses GitHub Issues as its dedicated bug tracker for the open-source project. This is where the community tracks bug reports, feature requests, and technical tasks. If you encounter a bug, the official process is: 1. File an Issue: Use the GitHub Issue Tracker to report bugs. There are specific templates for bug reports to ensure the developers have all the necessary context. 2. Community Discussion: For real-time troubleshooting before filing a formal bug report, you can use the #support or #troubleshooting channels in the StarRocks Slack. 3. Documentation Feedback: You can also report issues directly from the documentation site by clicking the Feedback button in the upper-right corner of any page. There are currently no public plans to move away from GitHub Issues to another dedicated platform (like Jira or a standalone portal), as GitHub provides the most integrated experience for the community's development workflow.
