Hi, I’m interested in committing some work back to Oozie that I’ve done to get it working well with Bigtop. I’ve searched a bit on the email archives but haven’t found too much discussion around guides for new developers. I’m mostly looking for a guide or set of community guidelines on how to build Oozie (do I just use the standard mkdistro.sh script in bin?) and how to test patches locally before submitting to a JIRA, to lower the amount of overhead required by members of the community. Does documentation like this exist? I’d be interested in helping create some if the information is spread out among archived emails, or other documents.
Right now I’m mostly concerned with testing my work before submitting a patch. On https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOZIE/How+To+Contribute there isn’t any mention of running ./bin/test-patch locally before submitting a patch on a JIRA. Is this supported, and a recommended workflow? Best,
