New jira fields

[Owen O'Malley <oo...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Hi all,
    For Hadoop core, I just added 3 new fields in jira. The first are  
flags, for when a jira's patch has been +1'ed and the second is for  
when it introduces an incompatible change. The other is the release  
note field. If you have a new feature or incompatible change, the  
patch developer should fill in the information for the user with  
respect to the change.

Thanks,
    Owen

PS. If HBase wants the fields too, let me know...

For these new fields, here are the relevant changes that I made to  
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute

If your patch creates an incompatibility with the latest major  
release, then you must set the Incompatible change flag on the  
issue's Jira 'and' fill in the Release Note field with an explanation  
of the impact of the incompatibility and the necessary steps users  
must take.

If your patch implements a major feature or improvement, then you  
must fill in the Release Note field on the issue's Jira with an  
explanation of the feature that will be comprehensible by the end user.



Here are the relevant changes that I made to http://wiki.apache.org/ 
hadoop/CodeReviewChecklist

Once the review is complete (which means all suggestions from  
previous reviews have been satisfactorily incorporated and you  
believe the patch is ready to commit) then please set the Reviewed  
flag on the issue's Jira.



Cheers,
Nige
