For new committers and for the curious, I've just stuck up a screen capture with commentary on how to commit a patch to the Hadoop SVN repository
http://youtu.be/txW3m7qWdzw It's 27 minutes long, not just because of the commentary but because you have to be as rigorous committing a one-line patch as you do to a whole new module. I'd love to see how the git+gerrit projects work (like accumulo) to see if we could speed up both the review and the checkin. -steve -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
