Hey devs, Code nitpicks have come up a bit lately (in code I'm the reviewer of). Other Apache projects such as HBase and Kafka use checkstyle to do a pre-commit check at build time. Rather than spend time going back and forth on code style, how about we adopt the checkstyle plugin for Flume?
I'd propose adopting the Google Java style. It's what the vast majority of the Flume code uses today, and there is a config file shipped with checkstyle for it. Here's a link to it: https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html My goal is just to maintain a consistent style throughout the code base and avoid the review noise. Please let me know whether or not this sounds helpful. Thanks, Mike
