Building Hadoop results in a lot of warnings
--------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-958
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-958
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: eric baldeschwieler
We are getting hundreds of warnings right now. Most of these are a result of
our transition to 1.5 and deprecated uses of generics. We should still fix
these, since producing lots of warnings:
A) Leads to the perception that our code is of low quality
B) Can mask warnings that come from real issues.
---
I suggest we do two things
1) Submit a patch or set of patches to clean this up
2) Change our patch tester to validate that the number of warnings per build
did not go up with this patch
