------------------------------------------
{quote}how about using the latest version of Checkstyle and the plugin?
{quote}
[~bpatel] - any version that runs in JDK8 should be fine. Do you want to give
it a shot?

> Ranger code base has been evolving over a decade, with contributions from
> large number of authors. Having a common coding style enforced during build
> time will help improve the readability of the code base. I propose to use
> [checkstyle|https://github.com/airlift/airbase/blob/master/airbase-policy/src/main/resources/checkstyle/airbase-checks.xml]
> based on airbase, which is used by open-source projects like Trino.
> Updating the entire code base will take considerable time, hence this will
> need to be done in phases, perhaps one module at a time. To start with, I
> suggest updating the checkstyle currently in the master branch but not fail
> the build in case of violations. This should be followed by updates to
> sources to comply with the checkstyle - one module at a time. Once all
> modules are updated, build should be updated to fail on violations.
