+Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
+contribution quickly and easily:
+
+ - [ ] Make sure there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC) filed
+ for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial changes like typos do not
+ require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without
+ pulling in other changes.
+ - [ ] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body.
+ - [ ] Format the pull request title like `[MJAVADOC-XXX] - Fixes bug in ApproximateQuantiles`,
+ where you replace `MJAVADOC-XXX` with the appropriate JIRA issue. Best practice
+ is to use the JIRA issue title in the pull request title and in the first line of the
+ commit message.
+ - [ ] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
+ - [ ] Run `mvn clean verify` to make sure basic checks pass. A more thorough check will
+ be performed on your pull request automatically.
+
+If your pull request is about ~20 lines of code you don't need to sign an
+[Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf) if you are unsure
+please ask on the developers list.
