Hey Grant. Sorry for the late reply. I revamped the precommit testing in the fall so that it doesn't use Jira email anymore to trigger a build. The process is controlled by https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/PreCommit-Admin/ which has some documentation up at the top of the job. You can look at the config of the job (do you have access?) to see what it's doing. Any project could use this same admin job -- you just need to ask me to add the project to the Jira filter used by the admin job (https://issues.apache.org/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/12313474/SearchRequest-12313474.xml?tempMax=100 ) once you have the downstream job(s) setup for your specific project. For Hadoop we have 3 downstream builds configured which also have some documentation: https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/ https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/PreCommit-MAPREDUCE-Build/ https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/PreCommit-HDFS-Build/
Let me know if you have questions or can't see these job configs.
