Now test-patch will be platform specific. Ideally, it must be tested on all
platforms before committing.

Yes I agree completely. As you said, the core is to fix it on "broken"
platforms. This is just a workaround.

It has more logic (either --enable-native is passed OR it is a supported
platform, etc.). Not earth-shattering, but still needs to be understood in
context by someone fresh looking at it.

I would say only the developer to fix the script will need to understand the
extra complexity. So it should be transparent to most other developers.

The dependency it will put on us to have to track removing this once native
compile is fixed. Given that we cannot rely on contributors being always there
and watchful, I am worried that someone will forget to document in a related
JIRA to fix test-patch and we will end up in a situation that native compile is
fixed, and test-patch isn't testing it.

The developer who disables the test needs to
* file a ticket to get "broken" platform fixed (if it is not there yet) AND
* document the needs to enable the test in the ticket. In this case if it
would be you :-)
Can you also print some messages to notify others that the native compilation
is disabled due to issues?
My goal is to provide best experiences for both end users and developers.
Other thoughts?

> The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch.
> On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it
> difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to
> make the native compilation optional.
