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?

I must add to that: there is absolutely a hard requirement for test-patch not 
failing to build. And that build is a Linux one.

Thanks,
