Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-4593:
------------------------------------

Overall, LGTM. Couple of minor adjustments below:

{noformat}
+            <section xml:id="maven.build.commands.unitall">
+                <title>Running all or individual Unit Tests</title>
+                <para>See the <xref linkend="hbase.unittests.cmds"/> section 
above in <xref
+                        linkend="hbase.unittests"/></para>
+            </section>
{noformat}

This is in 18.4.1.2 now, and unit tests are now in 18.9.2/3, so this should be 
"below" rather than "above". Also, it looks like "running tests" is no longer a 
subsection of "unittests", so this may need to be rephrased.

{noformat}
+        <title>Releasing Apache HBase</title>
+        <formalpara>
+            <title>Building against HBase 1.x</title>
+            <para>HBase 1.x requires Java 7 to build. See <xref 
linkend="java"/> for Java
+                requirements per HBase release.</para>
+        </formalpara>
{noformat}

Is this meant to be a note callout?

{noformat}
+            <section xml:id="common.patch.feedback">
+                <title>Code Formatting Conventions</title>
{noformat}

The entries in here end up at section-depth 5. Would this read better if we 
moved all of them up into Code Standards? They'd be at section-depth 4, and we 
could just add a sentence to the intro on contributing patches that says "make 
sure you follow the code standards" with a link.

> I have been building a tool (currently called reposync) to help me keep the 
> internal FB hbase-92-based branch up-to-date with the public branches.
> Various inconsistencies in our process has made it difficult to automate a 
> lot of this stuff.
> I'd like to work with everyone to come up with the official best practices 
> and stick to it.
> I welcome all suggestions.  Among some of the things I'd like to nail down:
> - Commit message format
> - Best practice and commit message format for multiple commits
> - Multiple commits per jira vs. jira per commit, what are the exceptions and 
> when
> - Affects vs. Fix versions
> - Potential usage of [tags] in commit messages for things like book, scripts, 
> shell... maybe even whatever is in the components field?
> - Increased usage of JIRA tags or labels to mark exactly which repos a JIRA 
> has been committed to (potentially even internal repos?  ways for a tool to 
> keep track in JIRA?)
> We also need to be more strict about some things if we want to follow Apache 
> guidelines.  For example, all final versions of a patch must be attached to 
> JIRA so that the author properly assigns it to Apache.
