------------------------------------------
Summary: 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.
