      When triggering a remote build via HUDSON_URL/job/job_name/build?token=TOKEN_NAME, it would be
      helpful to also be able to set a description for the build that will showup in the Build History column (such
      as a reason for the build, or a project specific build number, or who triggered the build, etc.).

      I imagine this could be implemented as

      HUDSON_URL/job/Hadoop-Patch/build?token=TOKEN_NAME&description=foobar

      Special characters in the description would clearly need to be escaped.
