Description

there are a few issues with the current checkstyle.xml

as long as the new checks are coming back red all the time; people will start to ignore these checks...so I think, it would be better to make the checks less strict...

• set max linelength to 140; it looks like a more natural limit - because there are classnames which are eating up line space pretty quickly... like: PrimitiveObjectInspector
• make checkstyle.xml easily importable into ide (use config_loc instead basedir)
• suppress generated vectorized class errors
