In this case, the manual tests performed by the contributor must be explained. 4) A -1 from Hadoop QA for findbugs, javadoc, or javac warnings means the patch *must not* be committed until these are fixed (else every subsequent patch will get -1 on these) 5) A -1 from Hadoop QA for core *and* contrib unit tests means the patch *must not* be committed until these are fixed (else every subsequent patch will get -1 on these) Others responsibilities? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
