Jack Dintruff commented on HADOOP-8523:
---------------------------------------
The patch is about as minimal as I can make it right now. I can definitely
start working on a patch with better argument handling and file a separate JIRA
for that though. Thanks for the advice.
> test-patch.sh doesn't validate patches before building

> When running test-patch.sh with an invalid patch (not formatted properly) or
> one that doesn't compile, the script spends a lot of time building Hadoop
> before checking to see if the patch is invalid. It would help devs if it
> checked first just in case we run test-patch.sh with a bad patch file.
