----------------------------------------
I am re-opening this issue because the scope of this JIRA is different.
> checkstyle rules/script need re-visiting
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-11869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11869
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sidharta Seethana
>
> There seem to be a lot of arcane errors being caused by the checkstyle
> rules/script. Real issues tend to be buried in this noise. Some examples :
> 1. "Line is longer than 80 characters" - this shows up even for cases like
> import statements, package names
> 2. "Missing a Javadoc comment." - for every private member including cases
> like "Configuration conf".
> Having rules like these will result in a large number of pre-commit job
> failures. We should fine tune the rules used for checkstyle.
