[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8776) Provide an option in test-patch that can enable / disable compiling native code

["Hemanth Yamijala (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Hemanth Yamijala updated HADOOP-8776:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-8776.patch

The attached patch adds an option --compile-native to the test-patch script. If passed, it enables the native profile wherever it is being currently used.

This approach (same as what Eli suggested on the mailing list) changes how test-patch currently works, though. In that, by default native code will *not* be compiled. Given that the most common use case will be around Java patches, I suppose it is OK.

But would be glad to discuss other options as required.

> The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch. On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to make the native compilation optional.
