Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-3008:
-----------------------------------------------------
I agree to fix whitespace, and the policy you suggest seems reasonable.
However, this conversation belongs to the more general topic of style.
Are we willing to define and enforce a code style policy for Pig?
Other projects are using checkstyle to do so, so that new patches comply.
I am fine with being stricter on style, but only for things that can be
automated within an IDE (whitespace is one of those).

> This JIRA exists mainly to get a conversation started. We've talked about it
> before, and it's a tricky issue. That said, some of the Pig code is super,
> super gnarly. We need some sort of path that will let it eventually be
> fix-able.
> I posit: any file that hasn't been touched for over 6 months is eligible for
> a whitespace patch.
