[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-11869) checkstyle rules/script need re-visiting

Sidharta Seethana created HADOOP-11869:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: checkstyle rules/script need re-visiting
                 Key: HADOOP-11869
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11869
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sidharta Seethana


There seem to be a lot of arcane errors being caused by the checkstyle rules/script. Real issues tend to be buried in this noise. Some examples :

1. "Line is longer than 80 characters" - this shows up even for cases like import statements, package names
2. "Missing a Javadoc comment." - for every private member including cases like "Configuration conf". 

Having rules like these will result in a large number of pre-commit job failures. We should fine tune the rules used for checkstyle.
