Add rat report to the Hudson patch process
------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2642
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2642
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
            Reporter: Nigel Daley
            Priority: Minor


Sami Siren suggests:
"How about adding [the rat header license] check to the patch queue? That way 
users submitting patches would become responsible for adding proper headers"

Good suggestion.  I think the Rat tool needs some enhancements for this to work 
reliably, for instance:
* an exit code that indicates failure/success
* greater customization of which files need and don't need headers

Rat is entering incubation.  Once there, these improvements can be filed.
