Hi Chris, Thanks for the info, I'm working through the newbie list and trying to pick anything up that seems simple.
So, I got to MAPREDUCE-5673 and while this looks easy I asked myself if it was even worth doing? My reasoning is that this was raised by somebody who thinks it's a good idea to have the host(IP) in the jobhistory webUI (which it probably is), is there any collective thought around whether people think this is a good idea or not? Do the Jira's go through any sort of vetting process? I guess what I'm asking is could anyone just submit a Jira with a subjective opinion and there is a chance that it would make it all the way through to trunk? I'll probably take a look through this anyway as it's a good way of trying to learn what goes where. But I'm just curious how the process works.
