test patch fails with -1 findbugs

[Amit Sela]

Hi all,

I've recently added a patch to branch-1 and I wanted to run test-patch.
I run: ant test-patch -Dpatch.file=../HADOOP-6103-branch-1.patch
-Dfindbugs.home=/usr/local/findbugs-1.3.9
-Dforrest.home=/usr/local/apache-forrest-0.9

and I get:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
     [exec] Total time: 3 minutes 16 seconds
     [exec]
     [exec]
     [exec]
     [exec]
     [exec] -1 overall.
     [exec]
     [exec]     +1 @author.  The patch does not contain any @author tags.
     [exec]
     [exec]     -1 tests included.  The patch doesn't appear to include any
new or modified tests.
     [exec]                         Please justify why no tests are needed
for this patch.
     [exec]
     [exec]     +1 javadoc.  The javadoc tool did not generate any warning
messages.
     [exec]
     [exec]     +1 javac.  The applied patch does not increase the total
number of javac compiler warnings.
     [exec]
     [exec]     -1 findbugs.  The patch appears to introduce 427 new
Findbugs (version 1.3.9) warnings.

But I can't seem to understand why findbugs fails (I have a hard
time believing that my patch caused it).

I'd really appreciate your help on this one,

Thanks,
Amit.
