Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-11912:
----------------------------------------

The static analysis described in the paper referred to by HBASE-12187 might be a good thing to try implementing with this framework, to determine what's possible with it.

> Google's error-prone (https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/) wraps javac with some additional static analysis that will generate additional warnings or errors at compile time if certain bug patterns (https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/wiki/BugPatterns) are detected. What's nice about this approach, as opposed to findbugs, is the compile time detection and erroring out prevent the detected problems from getting into the codebase up front.
