Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-10557:
---------------------------------------------
Finally catching up over here!
*Thank you* [~tomoko] for tackling this!
I agree testing what is realistic/possible will enable us to make an informed
decision. I really hope we are not stuck asking all future developers to
fallback to Jira and use two search engines.
To make Jira effectively read-only post-migration, Robert suggested we could
use Jira's workflow controls to make a "degraded" workflow that does not allow
any writes to the issues (creating new issues, adding comments, changing
milestones, etc.). We can add that to the (draft) migration steps.
For committers, [https://id.apache.org|https://id.apache.org/] has the mapping
of apache userid to GitHub id, though I'm not sure if that is publicly
queryable. And as [~msoko...@gmail.com] pointed out on the dev list thread,
the [GitHub Apache org might also have it|https://github.com/apache].
Did you see/start from [the Lucene.Net migration
tool|https://github.com/bongohrtech/jira-issues-importer/tree/lucenenet]? This
is what [~nightowl888] pointed to (up above).
Those few migrated issues look like a great start!
{quote}{*}There is no way to upload files to GitHub with REST APIs{*}; it is
only allowed via the Web Interface.

Wow that is indeed disappointing. I wonder whether GitHub's issue search also
search attachments? Does Jira's search?

> Key: LUCENE-10557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10557
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Tomoko Uchida
> Assignee: Tomoko Uchida
> Priority: Major
>
> A few (not the majority) Apache projects already use the GitHub issue instead
> of Jira. For example,
> Airflow: [https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues]
> BookKeeper: [https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/issues]
> So I think it'd be technically possible that we move to GitHub issue. I have
> little knowledge of how to proceed with it, I'd like to discuss whether we
> should migrate to it, and if so, how to smoothly handle the migration.
> The major tasks would be:
> * (/) Get a consensus about the migration among committers
> * Choose issues that should be moved to GitHub
> ** Discussion thread
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/1p3p90k5c0d4othd2ct7nj14bkrxkr12]
> ** -Conclusion for now: We don't migrate any issues. Only new issues should
> be opened on GitHub.-
> ** Write a prototype migration script - the decision could be made on that.
> Things to consider:
> *** version numbers - labels or milestones?
> *** add a comment/ prepend a link to the source Jira issue on github side,
> *** add a comment/ prepend a link on the jira side to the new issue on
> github side (for people who access jira from blogs, mailing list archives and
> other sources that will have stale links),
> *** convert cross-issue automatic links in comments/ descriptions (as
> suggested by Robert),
> *** strategy to deal with sub-issues (hierarchies),
> *** maybe prefix (or postfix) the issue title on github side with the
> original LUCENE-XYZ key so that it is easier to search for a particular issue
> there?
> *** how to deal with user IDs (author, reporter, commenters)? Do they have
> to be github users? Will information about people not registered on github be
> lost?
> *** create an extra mapping file of old-issue-new-issue URLs for any
> potential future uses.
> *** what to do with issue numbers in git/svn commits? These could be
> rewritten but it'd change the entire git history tree - I don't think this is
> practical, while doable.
> * Build the convention for issue label/milestone management
> ** Do some experiments on a sandbox repository
> [https://github.com/mocobeta/sandbox-lucene-10557]
> ** Make documentation for metadata (label/milestone) management
> * Enable Github issue on the lucene's repository
> ** Raise an issue on INFRA
> ** (Create an issue-only private repository for sensitive issues if it's
> needed and allowed)
> ** Set a mail hook to
> [issues@lucene.apache.org|mailto:issues@lucene.apache.org] (many thanks to
> the general mail group name)
> * Set a schedule for migration
> ** Give some time to committers to play around with issues/labels/milestones
> before the actual migration
> ** Make an announcement on the mail lists
> ** Show some text messages when opening a new Jira issue (in issue template?)
