Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-3008: ------------------------------------ I appreciate your comments Alan. 1) I am wondering if we could use the RB more often since it has an option to hide white space changes. It might make sense to ask contributors to upload their patches when they include white space changes. 2) I think that there are certain times when including both white space and code changes makes more sense. Here is an example: https://reviews.apache.org/r/7734/diff/1/#4.16. Jon is removing a try-catch block and making some code changes at the same time. If indentations are not fixed, the net result looks really odd. In this case, wouldn't it better to include white space changes?
