Description

We currently use a custom script in the oozie-trunk-find-patches-available Jenkins job to find patches on JIRA and submit a build to the oozie-trunk-precommit-build job.

There's a number of downsides to this, the main one being that we need to tie oozie-trunk-find-patches-available to a specific Jenkins host so we can store a file to remember what JIRAs were looked at already (H1). Unfortunately, this means that whenever H1 is down, we can't get automatic pre-commit jobs.

Many projects, including Hadoop, Pig, Hive, etc use the PreCommit-Admin job. We should do that as well.

More details (though it appears to be a little out of date) are at http://wiki.apache.org/general/PreCommitBuilds
