[jira] [Created] (SPARK-1590) Recommend to use FindBugs

Shixiong Zhu created SPARK-1590:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Recommend to use FindBugs
                 Key: SPARK-1590
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1590
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Build
            Reporter: Shixiong Zhu
            Priority: Minor


FindBugs is an open source program created by Bill Pugh and David Hovemeyer which looks for bugs in Java code. It uses static analysis to identify hundreds of different potential types of errors in Java programs.

Although Spark is a Scala project, FindBugs is still helpful. For example, I used it to find SPARK-1583 and SPARK-1589. However, the disadvantage is that the report generated by FindBugs usually contains many false alarms for a Scala project.
