Giri, I think Aaron was talking about not running all test cases for changes to any project (e.g. HDFS and MapReduce). My proposal was to run all the tests for any Common change. An HDFS change would only run HDFS tests, and any MapReduce change would only run MapReduce tests.
Another thing I didn't mention was that currently Jenkins doesn't run tests or apply patches for any changes in hadoop-tools, which would be fixed by the change I'm suggesting.
