-----------------------------------
Summary: Add precommit check to discourage additions to HConstants
Key: HBASE-16719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16719
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: community
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Critical
We've said a few times that new things shouldn't be getting added to HConstants
but it keeps happening because folks naturally look for a centralized place for
constants they reuse. We should add a precommit test that flags patches that
add to HConstants to encourage folks to pick something local to the system
they're working on.
