As I understand it until recently we were able to edit comments, for
some reason it was changed. People found editing comments useful in
certain circumstances.
1) has editing of comments been a problem for the hadoop community --
were people misusing this?
2) email IS sent on every JIRA comment, including edits to comments. The
community can therefore review any edit, if there's an issue (misuse) it
can be rectified.
Given 1 & 2 I don't see why we should make a change to disallow comment
editing at this time.

Comments on JIRA get sent out by email (and it is the email that we
actually read), we shouldn't let people go back and edit comments in the
same sense that it is not possible to go back and change an email once
it is sent (editing comments also leads to many emails sent out further
clogging our inboxes).
Before we submit a comment, we should read it twice and correct the
typos, then post it.

HI all,
Looks like we got rid of the edit link on jira. I think it was
quite useful
for minor spelling mistake changes like
IF instead of IS..... (now I have to repost the whole comment making
spelling changes all over the comment)
I am sure there must have been a valid reason for removing it but
would it
be possible to reinstate it and use it for editing comments for minor
spelling changes (some ethics law)?
Thanks
mahadev
