The naming of the patch file is up to you. The preferred way however is to just name the file after the JIRA ticket e.g. BIGTOP-1031.patch. In the latter case, If case you need to upload another version  of the patch, you should keep the file name the same and JIRA will sort them according to date/time if multiple files have the same name. This feature is also useful to traceback the history of a patch and roll-back to an earlier version if needed.
