Discussion of Hail software development.

Are you hacking on Hail at the source? Post here to engage with the rest of the Hail developer community. The more clearly and completely you explain the issue, the more likely you’ll be to get a helpful response. If you think you’ve discovered a **bug** , please create a [Github issue](https://github.com/broadinstitute/hail/issues) instead.

Hail is an [open-source project](http://github.com/hail-is/hail/) written in Scala (mostly) and uses Apache Spark and other Apache Hadoop projects. If you’re keen to build scalable infrastructure, powerful methods, or gorgeous visualizations to learn from genetic data at massive scale, we’d love to hear from you!
