------------------------------------------
Hi Colin, Thanks for your comments. I guess what you're suggesting is to not
disable the compile of native code by default. But instead, provide a switch to
not compile native code if required. Ultimately when HADOOP-8744 is fixed,
contributors can just stop using the flag.
My rationale for this JIRA is that without an option like this, we are actually
preventing (some) contributors from testing *anything* locally because
test-patch simply fails. For the same reason, I made the default option to
switch off native compile.
One thing we could do is to enable native compile by default, but print a
message hinting to use the disable flag in case compile failed in test-patch. I
will work on that and provide a new patch.

> The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch.
> On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it
> difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to
> make the native compilation optional.
