I tried applying your patches in my environment, It works fine. The issue with Hadoop QA may be because of having <ctl>-M (^M) characters in the patch file. Can you try by removing the <ctl>-M (^M) chars in the patch.

This is for Hadoop-8241 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8241). I submitted the first patch and it said it couldn't apply it, so I figured it may have to do with the fact that one of the two files fixed is in hadoop-hdfs-https which isn't part of the Hadoop Common project. So I submitted a second patch just for hadoop-dist/pom.xml which I believe is part of the Common project, but that couldn't be applied as well. So I come to you: what am I doing horribly wrong and how can I appease the almighty Hadoop QA? Thanks, Mostafa Elhemali
