                 Key: HADOOP-7043
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7043
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
            Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik


The idea is pretty simple: whenever a test failure happens test-patch (or Hudson though the meaning of a plugin) needs to check appropriate project JIRAs to see if the test name is mentioned in one of the 'well-known' fields. Perhaps Description or Title are the best candidates for this role.

The benefits are apparent: 
- saving time on analysis of intermittent failures (Hudson is only able to calculate failure age for a consequent failures i.e. where there's no "gaps" between failure episodes)
- semi-intelligent check for possible regressions.
