Re: [E] [NOTICE] Attaching patches in JIRA issue no longer works

Hi Eric,

JIRA issues contain useful information in the fields. We are leveraging
them in development and release process.

the information between two different places.

Agreed that it's ideal to have all the information in one place, but the
pre commit jobs for JIRA have some limitations (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17798) and I don't want to
maintain the jobs anymore.

> I think this deserves some attention.

Yes, but the developers don't seem to look at the JIRA issue or read the
discussion thread. That's why I sent the [NOTICE] mail.

Really? Most of the Hadoop developers currently use GitHub PR for code
review.

> I'm concerned that the decision was made without community
support/consensus and without a vote thread

The background is to reduce my workload for maintaining the precommit jobs
and to improve the process. I didn't think we needed a vote.
Anyway, the change is a 2-way door decision, I'm okay to revert the change
and start a discussion & vote.
