Can the mentors - Alan, Chris, Devaraj comment on this for Pig, Hadoop, HCatalog ?
AFAIK there are no Mac installations of the Hadoop, Pig, Oozie, etc. Given that the cost of catching a failing unit test during release time (given that we don't have CI in Apache) is fairly high. Most of you must have noticed unit test case failures on the recent release. Use of a Mac (or Windows ;) is a convenience that we can't forego. What are the best practices in the other Apache projects?

And that build is a Linux one. Thanks, Roman.
