I'm completely new to Hadoop, and I'm trying to build it for the first time. I cloned the Git repository and I'm building the tag version release-2.4.0.
I get a clean "mvn compile -Pnative", but I'm getting a few unit tests failing when I run "mvn test". Does anyone know to what extent Hadoop (Common) 's unit tests failing is a serious issue? I.e., can I have a healthy Hadoop build, while still having had a few unit tests fail?
