Shixiong Zhu commented on SPARK-1590:
-------------------------------------
Agree that a period scanning is better then incorporating into the build, since
there are so many false positives.
> Recommend to use FindBugs

> Key: SPARK-1590
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1590
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Build

>
> FindBugs is an open source program created by Bill Pugh and David Hovemeyer
> which looks for bugs in Java code. It uses static analysis to identify
> hundreds of different potential types of errors in Java programs.
> Although Spark is a Scala project, FindBugs is still helpful. For example, I
> used it to find SPARK-1583 and SPARK-1589. However, the disadvantage is that
> the report generated by FindBugs usually contains many false alarms for a
> Scala project.
