Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-11978:
-------------------------------------------
I don't think this is really the right way to solve this.
What should probably happen is the 'unit' test type should probably be broken
up since it is used for both running the unit tests and determining if tests
are actually needed. So I'd instead, I think we should be modifying
determine_needed_tests to generate a new test type ('needstests' or something)
that kick in with pom.xml, java, c, etc.
If shell code ever gets unit tests and a test framework, this will make it
easier to add that capability later.
> test-patch should allow pom-only changes without test change complaints

> When a change only touches poms, we still need javac tests but we don't need
> to complain that there aren't more tests.
