If any part of the CassKop project has bugs or documentation mistakes, please let us know by 
[opening an issue](https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/casskop/issues/new). We treat
bugs and mistakes very seriously and believe no issue is too small. Before creating a bug report, please check that an
issue reporting the same problem does not already exist.


To make the bug report accurate and easy to understand, please try to create bug reports that are:

- Specific. Include as much details as possible: which version, what environment, what configuration, etc.

- Reproducible. Include the steps to reproduce the problem. We understand some issues might be hard to reproduce, please
include the steps that might lead to the problem.
- Isolated. Please try to isolate and reproduce the bug with minimum dependencies. It would significantly slow down the
speed to fix a bug if too many dependencies are involved in a bug report. Debugging external systems that rely on
CassKop is out of scope, but we are happy to provide guidance in the right direction or help with using
CassKop itself.
- Unique. Do not duplicate existing bug report.
- Scoped. One bug per report. Do not follow up with another bug inside one report.

We might ask for further information to locate a bug. A duplicated bug report will be closed.
