Hi all, To make the life of reviewers easier, as well as improving review turn around time, we are requesting all contributors (committers and otherwise) to submit patches to http://review.hbase.org/ in addition to attaching them to JIRAs. Review board has a nice API which allows people to review diffs without downloading a patch and applying it, and it is source code aware and will allow a reviewer to expand the context. It works with both SVN diffs and GIT diffs for those who use one or the other (or both) to develop their diffs. (I have to recommend git - it makes rebasing and keeping a patch current much easier, especially with the latest trunk turmoil).
If the patch is more than 2 files, please make everyone's life easier by review boarding it! I'm checking to see if it is possible to have reviewboard's email cause JIRA comments. Hopefully it will and then we will have a full record and a better UI. -ryan
