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/MNG) 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.
