Tom White commented on HADOOP-958:
----------------------------------
I have broken out fixes for unchecked warnings to HADOOP-1190 since they will
be done first.
> 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
> Attachments: example-warnings.patch, fs-unchecked.patch

>
> 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
