Dear Elasticsearch contributor,

We are doing research on understanding how developers manage a special kind of Technical Debt in **Java.**

We kindly ask 15-20 minutes of your time to fill out our survey. To help you decide whether to fill it in, we clarify two points.

“Why should I answer this survey?”

Your participation is essential for us to correctly understand how developers manage Technical Debt.

“What is in it for me?”

Your valuable contributions to **Elasticsearch** are part of the information we analyzed for this study. Thus, if you help us further by answering this survey, there are two immediate benefits:

- you help to improve the efficiency of maintaining the quality of **Elasticsearch**.
- the results will be used to propose recommendations to manage technical debt and create tool support.

Here is the [link to the survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckKA4AwUqsm_jRwOQx9q-V03QU-5nAad5PKy-ghDcLsNUhOg/viewform?usp=sf_link).

Thank you for your time and attention.

Kind regards,  
Jie Tan, Daniel Feitosa and Paris Avgeriou
