---------------------------------------

             Summary: Replace patch utility usage with git apply in ptest
                 Key: HIVE-17988
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17988
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Testing Infrastructure
            Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich


It would be great to replace the standard diff util because {{git}} can do a 3-way merge - which in most cases successfull.

This could reduce the ptest results which are erroring out because of build failure.

{code}
error: patch failed: ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/SemanticAnalyzer.java:7003
Falling back to three-way merge...
Applied patch to 'ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/SemanticAnalyzer.java' cleanly.
