How to install a Hadoop plugin or patch?

Question

Does somebody knows how to install a Hadoop patch like things in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-385 ?

I don't know what and how to override the original codes so that the pluggable interface can work.

Could anybody give me a hint?

thanks

This is a general, not a Hadoop related problem... You can apply .patch files using the patch command on your terminal. You can find help to that command with patch --help and man patch
