I'd like to thank Allen Wittenauer for his work on HADOOP-11746 to rewrite test-patch.sh. There is a lot of nice new functionality in there. My favorite part is that some patches will execute much faster, so I expect this will make the project more efficient overall at moving patches through the pre-commit process.
I have +1'd the patch, but since this is a tool that we all use frequently, I'd like to delay a day before committing. Please comment on the jira if you have any additional feedback. We're aiming to commit on Friday, 4/17. Chris Nauroth Hortonworks http://hortonworks.com/
