Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-6186: ------------------------------------- That would be great. Unfortunately checkstyle doesn't come with any diffing tools (like findbugs does). Another approach would be to get the warnings down to 0 through both tuning the rules and doing a mass cleanup of the source tree using an IDE. > Enhance checkstyle results by Hudson Hadoop QA to provide a diff > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6186 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6186 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Reporter: Vinod K V > > Currently, when a patch is submitted to Hudson, it provides the checkstyle > results indicating problems that happened throughout the project history. For > e.g., > http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Mapreduce-Patch-vesta.apache.org/463/artifact/trunk/build/test/checkstyle-errors.html. > It is not useful at all in this format. It would be of better use to provide > the style problems resulting ONLY OUT OF THE CURRENT PATCH. > Another point: Should we also consider a +1, -1 by Hudson w.r.t code style > ala findBugs warnings, test results etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
