Check for existing issues in Jira.
If it's either a new feature request, enhancement, or a bug, file a ticket.
15.9.2.1. Jira Priorities
The following is a guideline on setting Jira issue priorities:
- Blocker: Should only be used if the issue WILL cause data loss or cluster instability reliably.
- Critical: The issue described can cause data loss or cluster instability in some cases.
- Major: Important but not tragic issues, like updates to the client API that will add a lot of much-needed functionality or significant
bugs that need to be fixed but that don't cause data loss.
- Minor: Useful enhancements and annoying but not damaging bugs.
- Trivial: Useful enhancements but generally cosmetic.
15.9.2.2. Code Blocks in Jira Comments
A commonly used macro in Jira is {code}. If you do this in a Jira comment...
{code}
code snippet
{code}
... Jira will format the code snippet like code, instead of a regular comment. It improves readability.
