We can always look at adding another solaris zone specifically for this, rather than overloading the lucene zone IMO. > 4) We add a bunch more Ubuntu slaves to hudson.zones out of a pool of > publicly IP'd yahoo.net machines my employer has for Hadoop related builds. I have concerns about intermingled infrastructures. I am mostly curious how adding more build slaves solves these reliability problems, since they all seem to stem from builds taking excessive amounts of time, freezing, or having whacky OOM issues. Won't adding more machines just mean more slaves get stuck in this mess? Isn't the right fix to fix projects to... for lack of a better word... suck? Thanks, Paul
