Sidharta Seethana created HADOOP-11869: ------------------------------------------
Summary: checkstyle rules/script need re-visiting Key: HADOOP-11869 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11869 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Sidharta Seethana There seem to be a lot of arcane errors being caused by the checkstyle rules/script. Real issues tend to be buried in this noise. Some examples : 1. "Line is longer than 80 characters" - this shows up even for cases like import statements, package names 2. "Missing a Javadoc comment." - for every private member including cases like "Configuration conf". Having rules like these will result in a large number of pre-commit job failures. We should fine tune the rules used for checkstyle. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
