TiDB is really cool, however my experience in reporting bugs to them didn't go well... I was trying to report that a generic sql file produced from mysqldump failed to import into tidb. I simply provided a sample table and a comment of the issue, and they told me to go F* myself. There seems to be no shortage of hostile comments from the TiDB developers if you google around a bit.

Hi xmichael99,

I'm a lead developer from TiDB, and thank you for voicing your experience regarding reporting bugs in our community. I can assure you that our team member would never ever offend you, or any other developer contributing to TiDB, in such a way. We are grateful for your participation and support.

Could you send us a link to the issue you are referring to, so we can look into it more and make sure it's resolved? If you have any other issue, feel free to email me directly as well: [email protected]

Thank you for your feedback. TiDB's progress would not be possible without people like you.

Are you referring to this? https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/2742

They misunderstood your bug report, but they certainly didn't tell you to "go f* yourself". In fact, someone later relabeled the ticket as a compatibility issue with MySQL after you clarified the problem.

I can all but promise you that no CRDB dev will tell you to go F* yourself :P

Not even if I ask nicely?

Link to the issue?
