Reporting bugs and contributing

If you encounter a problem with Cassandra, the first places to ask for help are the user mailing list and the #cassandra IRC channel.

If, after having asked for help, you suspect that you have found a bug in Cassandra, you should report it by opening a ticket through the Apache Cassandra JIRA. Please provide as much details as you can on your problem, and don’t forget to indicate which version of Cassandra you are running and on which environment.

If you would like to contribute, please check the section on contributing on the Cassandra wiki. Please note that the source of this documentation is part of the Cassandra git repository and hence contributions to the documentation should follow the same path.
