/review — CarbonJ self-review checklist

Run through this before pushing or requesting review.

1. Build & tests pass

./gradlew build printCoverageReport

This mirrors CI (.github/workflows/gradle.yml). If this is green, CI will be green.

For a faster loop while iterating:

./gradlew :carbonj.service:test

2. License headers

• Any new .java file under either module?
• Any new file under carbonj.service/src/main/docker/files/?

If yes:

./gradlew licenseFormat && ./gradlew licenseMain

3. Storage compatibility

• Did you touch anything in db/?
  • dbName values (60s24h, 5m7d, 30m2y) unchanged?
  • RocksDB column-family names unchanged?
  • Any on-disk format change → flag in PR description; needs a migration plan.

4. Configuration surface

• New tunable? Added to the matching cfg* class and documented in application.yml (with a default that matches existing behavior)?
• Touched service.args, relay-rules.conf, blacklist.conf, or other files in src/main/docker/files/? Confirm Dockerfile still picks them up.

5. Public APIs

• HTTP endpoint signatures under /_dw/rest/carbonj/... or Graphite servlets unchanged? If changed, update admin-api.md / delete-api.md.

6. Ops scripts

• Did the Java change rename a metric, env var, or path that a script in src/main/docker/files/*.py / *.sh reads? Update the script in the same PR.

7. Commit hygiene

• Branch is not master (releases run from master only).
• Commits compile individually if you bisected.
• PR description lists: behavior change, risk area, rollout/rollback notes if it touches storage or ingestion.

8. Final

git status
git diff --stat origin/master...HEAD

Nothing unintended staged.

Success

• CI is green.
• All checklist items above either apply (and were addressed) or are explicitly N/A.
