Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-8416:
---------------------------------------------
What is the patch you are trying to apply? I assume it is the mega security one?
If a patch is generated relative to repo root, then test-patch will not be able
to apply while running from common, hdfs or mapreduce. test-patch is actually
supposed to run from one of the three, not from the root.
If your modification covers both cases, then it is ok. I don't think it does
though. Could you please clarify.
